    I have several WD external disks, for backup and portability of photos between computers. All have served me well. I chose thie metal casing on this one just because it was a present and looked special.

    Good read/write speeds with USB 3.0. Enough storage to keep backups of everything I need within reach off site when internet access isn't available to reach the server. And the case is nice and shiny.

    A friend recently lost everything when his hard drive failed. I went out right away to get a backup drive and the Western Digital Passport was exactly what I needed to ensure my data is safe.

    I almost lost all of my daughters baby photos when my laptop crashed. I was so scared but luckily they were able to recover them and put them on this. I haven't had any problems sense.

    This drive works very well and fast transfer rate. Needed a drive to use on my Mac and Windows PC. I just plug it into either computer and transfer my files with no problems. Very light and nice HD.

    i purchased this to backup my home pc. I like the small form and design of this external drive. Comes with USB 3.0 so helps speed thing up if you have 3.0 capability.

    I have downloaded onto this external hard drive, but have not uploaded to my new computer yet. It took a very long time to download, but that was probably due to my old computer and the amount of data that I downloaded. I think this was a good investment.

    This was purchased as part of a bundle with a computer and a few other items. Other terabyte hard drives were going for as much as the bundle was altogether.

    I always get a new WD external drive when I get a new computer. May be old fashioned but I like to have a physical backup. This product works great for me!

    Great addition to my 2013 Surface Pro 2. In 2013, 110 GBs HD storage seemed sufficient. This WD drive got me back going helping store the many pictures and videos I had accumulated over the years. Easy setup and fast transfer rate via USB 3.0.

    Lot faster than the previous 2.0 that I had. I keep this one vacuum sealed in the glove compartment of my car - just in case something happens at the house.

    Recommended to me from the G Squad - they did a data transfer into this external hard drive (I had a TON on my laptop) and I still have 50% space left.
