    I bought this for a Christmas gift for a friend. I use 5 WD External Hard Drives. I knew this was what would help the friend with work. I was right. She loves it, is able to store all her images separate from her desktop PC. I will be buying another for her and another for me because our work loads are expanding. This is the best way to keep documents and records private and safe.

    Purchased to store my PS4 games on. Plugged it in and it formatted itself within minutes. Now I have plenty of room for more games and no issues.

    Plug and Play, 5 TB storage at the right price. Good for backing up data and transferring data. Not sure how to beat this deal.

    I hope this one works better than the last one I bought. The other one threw all of the documents that were saved on the hd to just any folder on my desk top. I will have to go through every folder on my desk top to locate my important files and try and save them onto this hard drive. It must just have been past the 5 year mark of operations. It did keep throwing up an icon saying what do you want to do with this device. I did not understand it was time to buy a bigger one. The other one was only 1TB, the new one is 5TB.

    Decent drive…caught it on sale. Does what it should. If I could suggest an improvement, it would be the drive’s ability to be read by a Samsung TV. Some files appear fine while many others of the same type file don’t show as available. Other drives with the same files on them all play just fine. Not a deal breaker, just my experience. Other than that it’s a good drive so far.

    It's my third time buying a My Passport Portable Hard Drive. I don't think I ever bought the same item multiples times. That should tell you How satisfied I am about this Portable Drive. A must if you want to save your "Memories".
