    Great product for the price and size! I like the look of the model and the compact size it comes in. The best feature is that it is compatible to my Apple products. No hassle, just plug and use.

    first of all, it's compact. easy to carry with you. 2nd, this is metal. metal is better; plastic can break. it works just fine. what i keep, adds up and before you know it, i'm in the thousands on keepers. this will keep up with me. if you're get one, might as well, go for the 4tb.

    This hard drive has 4 terabytes of storage which is plenty for music videos and photos. I definitely appreciated the fact that I had a USB c Port which is much nicer than the old USB format. Another good thing is also that it is formatted for mac, if that is the computer that you are using.

    I've had nothing but good experiences with various WD My Passport drives over the years. This will be my fourth, only because I outgrew the previous 1TB and 2TB drives. I also got one for my best friend's birthday - oh, and the USB 3.0 connection is great!

    We use this memory with our Macbook Air and have not had any issues or concerns. The USB-C connector has freed us from adapters that were needed with other drives we have used in the past. The small size makes it convenient to carry.

    I bought it because it has USB-C so I could connect it to my Note 8. Make sure you connect it to your phone FIRST so it can format it, then you can connect it to your PC. If you want compatibility with Windows and Mac format ExFAT.

    I wasn’t exactly sure what I needed. I explained what I thought I needed to your sales representatives . He was very thorough, patient, and professional as he questioned me to better understand. He considered my options and explained each so I could determine the best option for my needs. He also took time to listen to my desire for a future purchase and discussed and explained those choices, as well.

    So far, so good. It took no time, really, to set this up as my primary backup for all my photos (60K+) and my system. It was a reliable and cost effective solution.
