Good Back-up for the Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The WD Passport Ultra 4 GB backup hard drive is a good value. Set-up with my HP laptop was a bit of a trial-and-error. The software was not as easy to install and it took me several tries before it cooperated. The first back-up didn't copy all of the files and I later realized that the user must check all of the files/folders on a C drive list. That list was not apparent to me on the first BU. With that said, although opening the icon to get to a new BU is clunky, the actual full BU was a breeze.

So far, so good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this hard drive for backup of my old Mac Mini. I'm using TimeMachine for backup. I plugged it in and set up TimeMachine on it. It's doing it's job. I've had it for a little more than one month. No problems. Hard drives are a long-term investment. I haven't had it long enough to say much more about it.

Does the job. Nuff said.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old desktop was going bad, it was almost full at 950 GB of data. I needed to dump everything into my new laptop but my laptop only came with 250 GB of room. What to do? External drive. This Passport is 4 TB.... I just plugged it into my laptop and boom, it's another drive, and ALL my desktop docs are there, ready to use 24/7.

Great device
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this external HD. Does not take up much space. I just wish I could access my files on it when it is connected to my docking station instead I have to have it directly connected to my laptop.

Seems fast for a standard HD
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to back up a couple of old computers. Unlike most of of the others I have, this one seems to keep up a reasonable speed throughout the transfer. So many start out fast and slow to a crawl after a few minutes. This one, while not as fast as SSD, hardley slowed down at all. I'm a happy camper.

reliable, well-built
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This 4TB has risen to the occasion of being a drive that I can use as a reliable backup drive. Western Digital (WD) overall has been a reliable brand for me. This case is no different.

Keep your computer hard drive clean.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are where I store my phots and not on my hard drive. I have more than one because I always have a backup in case something goes wrong with one. One is none if it breaks down and two is one.

Great Portable Storage!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Forget a flash drive, get this bad boy and backup everything!! Works great, I use it to backup iTunes, games, pictures, and videos so I have a security blanket if anything happens. I count on physical storage rather than cloud storage.
