It is compact design and looks sturdy. It is fast when connected to USB 3 port. It requires USB that supplies power as it does not has its own power supply. I used it for transfer data on PS4. ( requires reformat)

I bought this external hard drive to add 2 TB of storage to my iMac. I like the fact that the metal somewhat resembles the design of the iMac. It is a great drive for back me up things like music and photographs.

This is my second unit, I just increased the capacity. I love the ease of usage, the speed of transfer and the reliability of the software.
I also like the smart look and solidity - i case of need.

love this little drive. I partitioned it to be both my time machine back up and a storage volume for all of my old files so I don't have to keep them all on my computer.

This is a great external hard drive with plenty of space for the cost, but the software that comes with it is flawed, not user friendly, and frankly extraneous. The exterior finish of the drive is also prone to wear and tear. I give it 4 stars in that it serves its intended purpose well, though it comes with a few pitfalls.

I've had great success with other Western Digital portable hard-drives. This one looks well-made and I hope the metal chassis will help to dissipate heat, which would yield a longer life. Very quiet and little to no vibration when running.

This item was great combo of price and storage size. Does the job and gives me more space for Xbox 1 and games load faster now since the drive is faster than internal drive.

I have used about 30 WD Passport drives over the last few years and they are very reliable. I have never had one go bad, unlike Seagate which I have had DOA upon opening the new box.
