    This external hard drive is great! I got it on sale for a decent price and it has lasted me forever, it’s very easy to set up

    Lots of storage per dollar. I like that it's USB 3.0. Good for laptop backups. On a lark, I tried running an audio editor on a file residing on this device, and it didn't go well. No surprise there. I also tried using it to store and stream back off-the-air TV with an HD HomeRun and it works fine, to my delight.

    Excellent purchase to distance myself from a moving disk for an external backup drive; no moving parts; can go anywhere without risk of damage to a disk drive.

    Excellent product, looks nice too, small and compact. Priced better than SSD. You only need HD for data and movies, you would benefit more from SSD if storing programs.

    Lightweight and faster than I expected. Plenty of space for the stuff I do like photography, drawing and 3d modeling. Had to format it a certain way to get it to work with my macbook

    I like that it is so small and efficient that it is self-powered off the computer. Lots of storage space! It'll be a while before I fill this up. :)

    Full discloser, it's been several years since I researched external hard drives. When I found this product I had to ask an employee if it truly is this much storage in such a small transportable case. Once at home I was able to easily set it up with a couple partitions with time machine also set up so our MacBook Air. We now had 16x more storage space (4T) for photos, videos, backups, etc.

    This passport with 4 TB is very fast and an excellent device for back up, and storing away. I highly recommend having at least one external USB drive. Great space for the buck!

    WD hard drives are the standard. And this one is no different. Like the multiple USB sizes available. Access is fast.

    4 TB of storage at this price is a great price for any disk. This storage disk is a little nicer than average imo. Compact, quiet, fast with type C connection. I'd buy it again.

    300 GB worth of files to transfer and moved them over in about 30-40 minutes. Being photos and large video files. This device is great! Worth the investment and compact! Simple plug and play. No issues.

    This particular drive works rather well in that it has reasonable transfer speeds, and it does not generate high temperatures in the process.

    My WD passport external HD is just what I need to backup my photos and document files, and it has a downloadable application that can be set to update on a scheduled cycle. After all of the work and time invested in creating and documenting, My passport gives me added protection, lots of storage, and peace of mind.

    Big storage, little size, one cable

    I can't speak to its longevity, since I only use these to archive data and then it gets locked away. But the size, capacity, and price are great. And not needing an external power supply is one of the main benefits in my opinion.
