WD - My Passport 3TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black

love how compact and light the drive is, and the cover is very durable fabric. the cover has straps that keep it from opening all the way after unzipping, so the contents don't come tumbling out, and there is a pocket that's big enough for the cable and a thumb drive. the drive itself is the size of two decks of playing cards side by side. it comes in different colors - I got blue so i could find it on my desk. i love my purchase. highly recommend.

I bought this device in order to place all my memories that I've experienced as we travel abroad. Go pro's and cameras fill up quick and I needed more and this passport was perfect for my needs. I'm truly happy.

So far so good as far as storage. I’ve been taking all my pictures and videos off our old PC and transferring them to a windows ten HP laptop to edit. Problem is could not get this to be recognized From my old dell PC. Tried several things and it was so slow and aggravating. Most likely my PC which I am phasing out. I was able to slowly move everything with a simple USB memory stick to my new HP Laptop fot editing . This Hard drive was very compatible with the HP laptop and was recognized fast. The issue I’m having is that some of the old videos were taken and worked on with different formats. Examples would be roxio and Microsoft Windows. Also some were clips from a 8mm converted so there is some work to be done to make this all happen if at all. Not the Hard drives problem just technology changing and using different formats over the years. Pictures all loaded super fast and some of the videos as well. Time will tell if it will keep them safe. Best bet is if you have the storage keep them back up in two places so you don’t loose everything.

I bought this 3 TB hard drive on sale for 99 - 25 visa check out. I didn't need all this space but for the price of 2 TB I figure why not. I planned to store all my videos and pictures on this drive. I like how the cables are color matched to the drive and all my friends recommend wd because it's reliable.

Hard drive is portable and small. The internal size (3TB) and the physical size of the drive made me interested in purchasing. It does come pre-loaded with manufacturers software (back-up software), if you just want a blank raw drive simply delete, otherwise it's a great portable hard drive.

The refreshed look of the new Passport drive is great, but the price is even better. I purchased this drive as a mobile Time Machine Back Up to my MacBook Pro. I also partitioned the drive to allow me to download/share files. It's a great value for the storage and is obviously very portable. I would suggest purchasing with a carrying case, especially if you're mobile.

I’ve owned both this and a previous My Passport from 2015. This new version is cosmetically different than the old one, but other than that it functions the same. I didn’t use any of the included software, and I ran into initial issues formatting it on MacOS. WD has an article about how to do it properly on their website, and if you follow the directions it works fine. I don’t consider this a fault of the drive however since it’s a MacOS problem.

I have been using the WD 1 TB model for 3 years without any problems, so now that I needed more storage, I bought the 3 TB version. Nice performance, handy, and the yellow body differentiates it instantly from the 1 TB blue body unit. Comes with a 12" USB 2/3 cable, operates silently and doesn't get much warmer than hand temperature. The provided WD backup software is not so great; I use the free EaseUS Todo distribution instead.
