    This drive has plenty of room, and doesn't take up much space. It's very portable, and hardly noticeable on your desk.

    More Storage than I need

    My Passport Ultra 3TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive, has more storage than I need. Especially with the Macbook Pros having memory that cannot be changed, the external hard drive has given me the extra storage I need without the extra cost apple charges. I also caught it on sale, so the savings was exponential. A lot cheaper than the additional Apple storage and does not slow down my computer in the process.

    I bought this to use at work to transfer files between computers. I was very surprised at how fast the data transfer was when using a USB3 port to connect it to. Excellent drive for this purpose.

    WD External Supperior to Seagate & Toshiba

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

    I have owned external hard Drives from Toshiba, Seagate and Western Digital. In the first two cases, the connector at the external drive was flimsy and in short order became intermittent. I had to put the Toshiba and Seagate external HD's into special positions so that there was absolutely the right sort of force at the hard drive connectors to maintain USB connectivity. The Connector on the WD device is much firmer and more reliable. I have been using this external HD for about three months with no problems, whereas, by this time, the Toshiba and Seagate were already becoming unreliable.
