    I am using this to back up my NAS. I like the size of this HDD because after a backup I store it in my safe deposit box at the bank.

    This is my 3rd WD portable hard drive and love all 3 of them. The 2 and 3 TB units are definitely thicker than your smaller ones.

    I've purchased TWO of the Wd - My Passport Ultra 3tb External Usb 3.0 Portable Hard Drives - Noble Blue for my husband and I to archive our music collection of 60-years and back it up, after we converted all of our vinyl to Mp3 format. The HDs are extremely user-friendly and fast. We had no problems whatsoever.

    I went in the store looking to buy something to allow extra memory/storage to my son's XBOX 1. The clerks were very helpful in leading me to this product which was on sale for a cheaper price than an alternative device that would have provided a lot less storage space. Thanks Best Buy for the great value!

    I decided to purchased this 3TB portable hard drive because it is efficient. I purchase the 1TB last year and WD Passports are reliable. I now have the 1TB for my macbook pro and I use the 3TB to backup my Microsoft Windows pcs. I am satisfied with my WD Passports and I recommended this to my family and friends.

    WD external hard disk is the most reliable brand of the all external hard disks in the market. I have purchased before and never had any problem. I have had other brands which failed causing a big dissapoontment. Best Buy is always the best value for the best products, that is why I shop with confidence.
