    I needed an external portable hard drive to save my online gaming data and video. I did connect my portable drive to desktop computer and never disconnect it and set to automatic save data every times I go online.

    Best expansion solution for a Xbox or if you need a big HDD for large Photography files. Hard to beat the quality and price of a WD. Simple plug and play. Just works!

    Excellent value, I mostly use SSD m.2 or sata but decided to use this as a storage drive that I could plug into my wifi router. I was impressed by the consistent 110MB/s transfer speed when connected via USB.

    Fast, reliable and sooo much space to back up all my files and save my collection of videos. It does not need a separate power source, works from the USB cord.

    Bought it on sale, so space to price value was pretty good. Love when these high capacity drives don't need its own power supply. Hopefully it spins for a good long time.

    This is m second passport that I used to backup my PC. I ran out of space on the first one, so I upgraded to 5TB. I would recommend that anyone purchase this unit and backup your PC monthly.
