Error, noise, cant access.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought 2 of these to start. One for my son and one for myself. He has autism and likes ro access all his videos on his laptop. He loaded his fist one with movies and lost everything. The warranty covers the drive but not data retrieval. I ended up purchasing a 3rd as back up incase his failed again so I would have his 1000 videos saved if anything went wrong again. It took weeks for the warranty replacement to arrive and he was anxious without it so i had to go out and buy a 4th drive. (Over $400 into drives now) i dont know if he is bumping them around too much or what the couse is for failer. The 2nd and 3rd drive have now gone bad. Going to try a differnt brand and type after this mess. My backup drive is still working but it sets in a safe and is never jostled around till needed. Still waiting for replacement on the second drive and reply on the 3rd. Warranty honors replacement but one cant keep losing data. Wanted to give 2 star but gave an extra for customer service.

Amazingly Simple
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pro Tip, if you’re on a Mac, go to disk utilities and format the drive so you can bypass the WD software. Works like a charm.

Using as a good data backup point.

Hopeful
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this device to store photos from my PC's, laptops, and iPads. The transfer was successful from two laptops, but an older laptop and computer did not recognize the device. The transfers I was able to complete were quick and easy, but still trying to figure out a way to get it to work with the other computers. From reading some of the other reviews, I can only hope that the WD-My Passport will not malfunction and that all photos will be preserved and always accessible.

Good But...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good value for the money. I took one star off for the housing. It's very smooth which means it's easy to slip out of your hands, plus there are no rubber "feet" which would stabilize it when placed on a desk. Also, why wasn't a storage case included? All other WD portable drives I have purchased prior to this one included a storage case....
