    Never really used WD products as I am a Samsung guy, but I can honestly say this hard Drive does keep up with tec brands like Samsung, SanDisk and others, fast speeds, portable, and very easy to use.

    So far so good! This is the second one I’ve had over the years and plugs in and requires no special program to manually copy files and folders. Super compact even more than one from a couple years ago. It’s on an older iMac and an even older iMac but still pairs flawlessly.

    Works exactly like it said. After connecting unit to my Mac, it booted up, downloaded software, and was ready to go. I was copying files and photos within 10 minutes. Retrieving files is very easy also. I highly recommend this unit for speed and ease of use.

    This is the third WD external hard drive I’ve had over the years. It’s by far the easiest to use, accommodates all of my data and is small enough for me to carry, even in my purse; all for a reasonable price.

    I bought two of these to do back-ups of my 2017 iMac hard drive, running macOS Catalina. I've owned them for about 1-1/2 months, and they have worked flawlessly so far. When I first connected them to my iMac, they were immediately recognized and I immediately made the back-ups. I'm very satisfied with my purchase. BTW, there was only one USB 3.0 cable, with an additional USB-C adapter.

    I went into this purchase already knowing I would get a quality product - and I was not disappointed. Plugged it in and got right to work. Fast data transfer (using on a MacBook Pro), not a single complaint. The wire is perfect length, fits right in your pocket! Would definitely recommend to others!

    Despite it being for "Mac", the hard drive works fine for Xbox Series S storage. It does NOT, however, play the X/S upgraded games. I recently broke mine via long drop (thank God for warranties) and got a replacement and it works just as good as my first. Never a hiccup after over a year with my first and I fully expect this one to hold up just as well.

    Great backup drive for my MacBook Pro. I happily bought the WD 2T My Passport drive after I filled the 1T WD drive I've had for four years. Simple to use; small and easy to store.
