    Very fast transfer rates with the USB-C connection. Cable that it comes with is a little hard to connect, but otherwise it works like a charm once connected.

    Haven"t had the Passport for very long yet, but it is similar to the last Passport we4 had. It is decent quality and handles a lot of data. We transfer many things back and forth to the PC. Mostly it is used as a backup device.

    Easy to use for plug n play data backups. The specific software from WD is a bit of a mess but Windows doesn't really need it for what I am doing.
