    I needed a simple external hard drive for pictures. This was easy to install and format and is small enough to fit right into a fire box for safe keeping.

    Got this hard drive for the portability and it is fantastic. Compact and lots of storage. Have also dropped it a few times and it still works well.

    Easy Solution to Old Computer's Issues

    I've used the Passport many times, own 4 units, it's practically idiot proof to use. A very good friend that is using a 10 year old laptop has it so loaded up that it's the slowest thing I've ever seen. Now he refuses to upgrade to a newer model. So I decided ,since it was on sale, to gift this 1Tb. ultra to him.Well he has since transferred all his video and picture files, plus now he backs up his unit. He is running Vista OS and will soon not have support from Windows.... next we'll get him to invest in a new laptop but for now he's running a lot faster.

    I bought this to help me transfer my data from my old computer to my new one. This product is cheaper than having Best Buy transfer your data for you, and best of all, it's great for backing up all my important data!!! They even help me set it up and made sure I knew how to do the transfer. Very nice. They did tell me though to make sure it doesn't get moved around too much while it's turned on so none of the inner workings get damaged accidentally.

    WD is still the best in 2016. Built well, reliable, smooth and compact. Performs well, doesn't get hot, reasonably quiet. The pricing is a good value.
