    Fast and easy to use. Hate the back up software. Don't recommend using WD software. Buggy.

    I buy Western Digital hard drives for their reliability. I have purchased about 20 for me & familiy members over the past 10 years or so. Not a failure yet.

    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.

    The storage capacity on this holds 18 years of two childrens lives, 25 years of marriage, and six college degrees worth of data …. And its far from full!!!!

    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 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.

    Great for storing files and things where read and write speeds don't matter. Plus, where you don't care it's a disc drive.
