    Came quickly. Was smaller than I expected which comes in handy. I've only had it a week but it seems to be working great. Great product!

    Please be advised....

    This product does it job, BUT... I had to contact WDC support and download and install new back up software before it would work with my computer. No where did I find the answer to download Smartware to replace the WD Backup program that comes with the back up drive. So, although I can recommend this product for backing up your computer, you need to be aware that you'll have to go to WDC support and download Smartware before you can use it for back up on Windows 10 computer.

    Works on WIN XP Too!

    Although the box does not say it's compatible with WIN XP, it is. Thanks to Kenneth at WD Service & Support, we found that, after installation, it will show up in hardware devices, but not in my computer (no drive letter, so no access). By using Computer/Disk management to initialize the drive, and then quick format it, it now will have the NTSB file system, and it will pick the next available drive letter, or you can change it. Thanks for the quick responses Ken! Patrick

    Nice compact size and no wall wart needed, powers with USB.Setup and data backup initiation was easy but need to refer to on line user manual for anything other than basics.

    Great hard drive, one of the best brand. I bought it because it said it was compatible with macs. This is true but you have to format the hard drive before you can transfer files onto the harddrive. In the past my hard drives would get extremely hot after being plugged in for a period of time. This one maintained temperature and worked efficiently.

    Bought this 1TB unit (black finish) for my wife's computer (smaller hard drive) after buying a 2TB unit (blue finish) for my computer. Both have worked flawlessly so far with no known problems. Bought both Western Digital units after my computer guru recommended WDs rather than another brand as the WDs have far fewer to no errors.

    This WD My Passport hard drive is a great device with plenty of memory for the price. This hard drive is very user friendly. I was able to back up all the documents, pictures and videos from my old windows laptop and transfer the data to my new MacBook Pro. I highly recommend for backing up all your important files.

    WD Has the Best Drives

    Don't waste your time with other external drives. WD has the most reliable drives with the best Windows software for automating backups included in the box. The other brands might save you a few bucks in the store but WD will give you the best experience and this drive is no exception.
