    I'm thrilled that WD has expanded its portable external hard drives to 3TB, and I love the fact that no external power supply is needed - just plug it into a USB port and you're good to go. I've expanded my collection now to four hard drives and every one has been absolutely perfect - no problems whatsoever. And you can't beat the price!

    I have many WD Passport drives and have used them for years with great results. This one is no different. Great deal when on sale.

    Great hard disk, no issues so far. The build quality is a bit cheaper though, compared to my 4yr old 1TB WD. But it does the job.

    I needed a hard drive to store a lot of movies on. I travel a lot and wanted one that would hold a lot of movies but still be as small and lightweight as possible. This one is just perfect. Ultra small and neat and took a ton of movies. Highly recommended.

    You get a 3 tb drive in size of a wallet that you can take with you anywhere you go. This little device is great. Instead of carrying around my large hard drives or dealing with the cloud I just use my hard drive. This way I do not have to worry about additional outlets or or an internet connection.

    This replaces a 1.5tb external hard drive from WD. This new 3tb works just as well. Hopefully I do not need more space :)

    Needed a small, but large capacity auxiliary drive and looked at it at Best Buy. This choice seemed to be the best to meet my needs. Have a need for lots of storage capabilities (large RAW and processed photographs as well as some video work). It's silent and only requires a USB port for power and porting of files.

    Can never go wrong with a WD. Glad they have a portable 3TB drive. Makes it easy to save all my data without a WD book.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This fairly flat 3 terabyte drive is simple, convenient and reliable to use. Pluses I found were that this drive is: *Flat and easy to fit in a computer bag, weighing 8oz *Powered by only a USB 3.0 cable *Nice array of hard disk management software included *Password protection & 256-bit AES hardware encryption *3-year limited warranty Minus: *USB plug is located on the side which also has a small light which indicates drive activity (the USB cable not being as flexible as I like can cover the activity light making it hard to see)

    I got one for keeping large project files on and later I bought another to use for Time Machine backup on my Mac. I had to reformat them to use HFS+, but that saved me a bit on buying the "made for Mac" version. I've had the first one for about a year and the second for a month. So far, both work great.
