    This drive is perfect for my needs. The capacity and speed were what I was looking for and I would purchase another when the need arises.

    We had a black 1TB and needed to get a second so we could have his and hers. In store all they had was black but we saw online there were color choices so we opted for store pickup. I love the berry color but noticed it scratches easily (hence 4 star). Love the 2TB also!!

    No fuss. Just take it out of the box and plug it into your computer. And a prompt will then ask you what you would like to do next. :)

    Simply put, Western Digital is the benchmark for external hard drives and the brand has never failed me. This is a great drive!

    The best feature of this pocket-sized 3TB drive is that it powers through its USB cable, rather than requiring a separate power cord.

    I had a WD My Passport portable hard drive before, except this time I need a large storage space. It works as good as I expected.

    This worked great for about a year, I’m not sure if it got damaged as I’ve read these external hard drives are fragile but I took good care of it. Now all the data I stored on it can’t be retrieved. Be careful not to store valuable info on it!

    Excellent WD hard drive for a nice price! However, I found the same problem as in my previous WD hard drive: the USB cable does not work properly! Fortunatelly, BestBuy was fast solving my issue and replaced the USB cable, so it is perfectly working now.
