WD - My Passport Ultra 1TB External USB 3.0/2.0 Portable Hard Drive - Classic Black is easy to use and user friendly. I am more than happy with this item.

I ordered this in order to transfer documents from my laptop that is on the verge of going on to greener pastures. It was super easy to set-up and was essentially a click and drag concept, which I loved. I was able to transfer all the documents and photos from my computer and load it up within 30 minutes or so. I just store this unit until I need to access something from my new machine. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a solid backup for documents.

I wanted to replace the hard drive on my macbook. This external hard drive was easy to use and automatically backs up my mac! I highly recommend this for anyone that is looking for an external hard drive.

Got a new phone and lost data, wish I would have had the external hard drive then! I've backed up iTunes and shows from the DVR onto it. Plenty of room.

I love my external hard drive. Works great and I can get all my work onto one instead of carrying thumb drives around and losing them. I also bought another to back all my photos onto and keep in a safe.

I purchased these to replace my old Lacie D2 Quadra desktop drive for my mac when I upgraded to a new Retina model with no firewire port. I needed a drive to backup time machine and use as extra storage but I wanted something cheap, USB 3.0 and most importantly quiet. I got this drive on sale and I could not be happier. I had no problem partitioning the drive and I am amazed at how quiet it is. While this drive definitely not a top tier drive (as it is 5400rpm and only a 2.5 drive) I believe the price easily justifies the means and I would highly recommend it.

Face it we all have tons of data we say we will put on one device so we will have it (photos, music, documents) should something happen to our computer/tablet. This device makes that really easy. There is enough storage for the average person and their family to make it worth it. Small, portable, and quiet. Even can be locked with a password to keep out nosy people. Did I mention you can encrypt the drive too! All your data in an easy to use backup system.

Excellent value and quality. Picked this upon sale ($59.99 down from $99.99) and it was worth every penny. Used it with my Xbox One and the initial setup was extremely easy and only took a few minutes.

Works very well, high storage amount for the price. Can simply plug it in and its good to go. Personally i removed all the backup software that was preloaded, so i cannot give a review on said software.

Bought this because my Mac crashed due to power surge in Mexico. I regret not backing it up so I bought this passport. Loved the fact that I was able to partition it and that its compatible with Mac.

I bought the same model before and had just used it for a different computer. It is easy to work with and was all I needed. I'm not a computer expert and I could handle this fine. Esp. for the price.

My last hard drive burned out and I had been wanting another one for a while. I caught this one on sale and overall heard great reviews with WD-My passport. I was not expecting it to be so small when I got it but it actually suits me perfectly. I am able to sit it on my desk without it taking up space and it is indeed sufficient enough to carry around. Installation was easy, just followed the prompts once I connected the USB cord to my computer.

Love the size and ease-of-use. It holds a ton of information for the size of the drive. Easy to throw in a purse

Have mostly WD drive for last 20 years and they last as long as the PC has useful life. This is used for just OS imaging so will sit on shelf six of seven days a week, hopefully reliable as previous.

Overall, Western Digital has the best reputation for hard drives and this is no exception. The drive was easy to hook up and used to back up a computer. Plenty of to rage and speedy for a usb drive.

Bought this external hard drive as a back up for my iTunes collection. Western Digital are some of the best hard drives around they rarely fail and last for many years well beyond most competitors hard drives. Its pretty simple to use for Win 10/Mac OS X. Just remember the hard drive is formatted out of the box for Windows your need to reformat it for Mac if your a Mac user. I can highly recommend this product to anyone looking to backup or store data.

less cumbersome than my last back up drive- plug and play - solid state -takes up minimal space - convenient

the WD Ultra 1 TB drive has been a great help for me in taking my work to different places and just plugging in to a USB port and I have everything I need. It is a quick drive for storing files.

So far, it has been reliable-- works as expected. The price was good, the size is small. It comes with the connectors that I need to use with my macbook air. It is just what I was looking for.

Drive easily handled the data from my old computer and was immediately accessible on my new computer. Drive is very compact and durably built, needing only one cable to connect to the computer.
