    I've had bought a number of Passport hard drives over the years -- mostly to gain more storage space in increasingly larger hard drives. They have all worked as expected. This purchase is no different.

    the drive is faster than the drive it was replacing. Works great. Easy to use. Wish it came with a pouch for easier mobility. Still have to be careful with as it is not a solid state drive.
