    I have hundreds of new files each week on my system and I needed a reliable back up drive. This was easy to set up and schedule regular weekly back ups. This is working out fine so far. I have not had to retrieve any files from it so far, that is why I am only giving 4 starts. It seems to me reviews should be posted 6 months to a year after purchase, not a few weeks.

    I carry this with me most places I go as it holds install files troubleshooting tools, and various linux isos. The backpack I keep it in does get knocked around a bit and there have been times when kids and animals have knocked the drive off of the desk and it as well as its wire have handled it with no issues.

    I was having problems with my previous external drive. Research (and my son) led me to this WD Passport Ultra. I'm extremely pleased by it's size and performance. If I ever need another, will definitely go with the same thing.
