    Good hard drive for the price. I was looking for low cost storage so wasn’t really concerned with speed.

    easy to installation and works perfect so far. My son picked it out and with the added storage hopefully this will be enough for a long time.

    We had a ton of photos that needed storage and organizing, and this 5T storage device worked great. Easy to transfer and small enough to take with you when needed.

    This was immensely easy to use. Plug it in, pick the format you need (pc or mac) and start moving your files to it for storage. I easily transferred over 22,000 files and still not even at halfway point.

    The external hard drive was a great purchase. My laptop has a lot of space but surprising I ran out of space due to lots of photos. The hard drive has more space than I can imagine. Product is easy to use as well.

    Using 3 My Passport Drives - 2 2TB's previously bought plus This 5TB drive I just purchased. Bought all drives from Best Buy and can't beat the price verses the products. Only bonus feature I have found is that the 5TB drive will support "Boast Feature" if you need it.

    The perfect size to save critical and precious information among multiple family systems. Additionally, sleek and compact enough to pack on work or family trips to share and transfer with others.

    Once I was able to get this synced to my computer, the operation has been flawless. The download, depending on the platform the consumer uses, and the accompanying instructions are not too intuitive (for understanding), and required a phone call for support. However, the support was tremendously helpful.

    Synology NAS Backup

    I use this to backup Synology NAS fro a 3rd copy that can be stored off site from the NAS. So far, this has worked well. I'm not sure about the speed, but it doesn't really affect me as the backup occurs overnight while I'm sleeping. This is my 3rd WD Passport, and all of them work well. I just need to keep increasing the size as my files (photos and videos) continue to add up.

    Compact, reliable option for storing large amounts of data (videos, music, etc.), Compact pocket form factor makes it a good size for travel. Never had reliability problems with WD drives.

    Great price for the size. Purchased this to go with my MacBook Air, only had to reformat it prior to use which was very easy. Very small and convenient.
