    I'm not much at technical stuff, and ended up using my Geek Squad total tech service to help me set up my backup to my new WD - My Passport Ultra 2 TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive. Remotely he had to try a couple times to get it set up the way I wanted. Once set up, it works great. It is slower at backing up than my SSD External Drive. I opted for this Hard Drive (HD) because I update my excel spreadsheets multiple times daily and the description sounded like SSD may not last as long with constant multiple updates. But I could be wrong. I did learn my lesson when traveling not to take my HD after taking my WD - My Passport Ultra 1 TB. The cord disconnected from my laptop and dropped 3 feet to the floor. I can no longer access anything from it. So on trips I now backup just the info I need to a SSD USB instead. I do not use any cloud function. If I read correctly, only the first year is free.

    I needed a local backup for some folders rather than depend on the cloud so this does the trick for a very low price.

    It's one of the very few if not the only one native USB-C external drive available. It also comes with USB-C to USB-A adapter if computer doesn't have the USB-C. It performs well.
