    Bought this because my PS4 memory was maxed-out. So far so good. The load times have not changed at all.

    Has issues with my HP Omen PC

    I have tried a couple of the WD My Passport external drives, with various storage configurations. Have had no problems installing the hardware device. But on this machine, the drive continues to drop from a ready state (i.e. the USB connection drops, then reconnects 10 to 15 seconds later). Sometimes this actually kills the backup. It does generate many requests to scan the drive for issues, each time it drops). Curiously, the problem does not occur on my Laptop, but that is not where I keep the files I need to backup. I recently tried a Samsung SSD drive, with no problems. I have exhausted all the solutions from online trouble shooting suggestions, with no success.

    I have not gotten this to work as a back up for my Macbook or as an external file storage device. I will have to take it in to Best Buy and get them to explain how it works. I have another similar WD external drive from perhaps 3 years back which is very simple and works just fine. What’s with this one?
