    Great little hard drive! Packs a punch for sure. I will say though there are a few times it will randomly disconnect or lag but compared to all the pros, its not a big deal it definitely gets the job done.

    Great drive! Great deal! Not for shucking though!

    Great hard drive and delivers on the speed, however it has a soldered PCB. So if you plan on shucking, this isn't the drive for you. Most other drives have an adapter on them but SATA power and data is still available. This is not the case with this drive. This drive has a soldered on, single pcb so there is no access to the SATA power or data. Again, this is NOT the drive for taking out and putting in your other device unless it uses the USB port that you see on the outside of the enclosure. Other than that though, it's a great little drive with TONS of space!

    A great utility for anyone steeped in the Mac ecosystem or if you just have a iMac and need some extra storage or already a have a ton of space, but may (like my wife and her computer for work) need to make a back-up of your computer just to be extra safe nothing happens to all your oh sorry very important files. A no brainer purchase for many reasons and this WD drive was affordable, easy to use and reliable.

    High quality, very fast and efficient. I partitioned it, giving myself ample space for both a time machine backup for my Mac and storage space for my files. Easy to use for beginners! Other than not liking the preinstalled software, which you can delete easily, this is a very good device!

    Storage for iPhone and iPad Backups!

    Purchased this drive for only one purpose, to store backups of my iPhone and of my iPads. I wanted to have a local backup of my two devices just in case Apple’s cloud storage were to be “unavailable”. I have an iMac with limited free storage left, so I thought I could backup directly to this WD drive. Wrong! You have to first have enough storage on your computer’s hard drive, then run Apple’s backup program, then after it is done backing up go Apple’s file manager program hold down the alt key I believe and click on GO then LIBRARY and a couple of levels down you end up finding exactly where your backups are stored!! PAIN IN THE A##! Needless to say the file transfers fairly quickly onto the WD Passport drive and then you are able to once again go back into Apple’s backup program and this time you can choose to delete the backup off of your computer’s hard drive.

    I bought this for my daughter and she absolutely loves it. She’s using this ext hard drive to backup her massive raw photos. It’s very fast and easy to use. Once it’s connected to her Mac on the first use, follow the online instructions to install. Then it’s plug and play each time thereafter. In fact it’s so good that she’s going to get second one.

    I could not be happier to own this external hard drive when I bought my new MacBook Pro with USB-C connection. All of my other external hard drives do not have the USB-C connection in handy (I am already aware that I can buy an adapter to connect those drives to my new USB-C-enabled MacBook Pro) so I thought this would be a great asset for my new laptop. And it truly is!! Am very thrilled to have extra space, especially when I have hundreds of instructional videos that I made for my deaf students!
