    Nice little hard drive. A bit smaller than earlier My Passport drives, even though it has a larger capacity. I didn't use the software that comes with it. I just reformatted it to work with my Mac. It works great for Time Machine backups. Disk spins at 5400 rpm - not super-fast, but totally practical.

    I like this product. It is attractively designed and compact. I have noted the speeds are average for an external hard drive. However, I have the same WD hard drive from 2-3 years ago and it works fine.

    Nabbed this little guy as external storage for my PS4 to PS5 conversion. This is actually smaller than the previous model of the Passport, which is nice, plus it can definitely stand up to long hours of transferring, and I backed-up a TON of games from my PS4. Passport was great before, and it still seems to be great.

    Works great with LG (smart) Tv's WebOS. We play all of our stored movies flawlessly off of this drive and subtitles work to. I've also used this model for file back up and restore as well, no problem.

    I have a couple of these WD-MyPassports, they have lasted for years, I've never had one go bad. I use these for backing up my computer, laptop, wife's laptop and mom's laptop. Also for transferring files between computers. Absolutely love these, and since they're USB 3.0, very fast for a HDD.
