    Got this to go with my Xbox One console. Plugged it into my PC first and copied the software that came with it in case I wanted to use it elsewhere later. Then plugged it into my Xbox One. Formatted the drive, now I have an extra 3TB of space for games and applications. Have been loading them since December without any issues. Great product!

    Like the price for the amount of space that it has. I have not had any problems retrieving or moving data to the Passport. It is small and fit easily into a case purchased to put cards and thumb drives in. Easy to transport and use. Plug it in and it is ready to go.

    I have purchased a number of portable external drives. This one is not the smallest physically, but, so far, it has been the most reliable. The 3 TB capacity provides lots of room for files and backups; it rivals the desktop portable drives that are larger and require a power adapter. Most of the smaller portable drives are limited to 1 TB and slow. The Western Digital is quick and quiet. Unfortunately, like most USB 3.0 drives the USB 3.0 cable is woefully short. The cable that came with this drive is approximately 14 inches long, but I would prefer a cable of at least 20 inches. I have purchased drives with cables only 3 inches in length! Please pay attention and provide longer cables external drive manufacturers!

    I recently bought this portable HD for my XBOX One when I realized that shockingly 500Gb was not going to be enough for downloading games (which is a requirement for playing disc games these days). The 3Tb was an excellent choice and came at a reduced price (far better than the 2Tb version, in my opinion). If you are looking for a good portable HD for your console. I would highly recommend this model.

    Small, fast and with a huge storage capacity! WD it's a reliable name when it comes about HD storage devices! This is my 4th WD external HD in the last 7 years! And all are still running! Including one which is 4 times bigger than this one and is only 1 TB!
