it’s way too noisy for a portable hard drive

So this drive is actually pretty good and the price was excellent at B&H when I purchased with the laptop I bought. The problem with this little guy, (and I do mean little) is its cord is so short that it keeps getting yanked out of the port. I have a laptop tray and the drive sits beside the laptop directly on the tray; every time I picked up the tray, the drive slid off the tray, came unplugged and crashed to the floor. The first time it happened I said I would be careful not to do that again; until it happened again! The second time it fell, it made noise but thankfully it still worked. It did not survive the 3rd drop. For that reason I give it 3 stars and a warning. However, I did like the drive so much that I repurchased it and use velcro strips to eliminate any more accidents.

I been using this to backup my photos and files from my Mac, I do have to say that I do get a bit confused at using it at times, however I just do the automatic feature. I also like that I dont have to keep it plugged in all the time.

Purchased this drive to record church services to be viewed and uploaded at a later time. It’s storage size allows me to load more than 100 services without a threat of exhausting space.

Good price. Great for my backups. Plenty of storage. Relatively fast data transfers. Nice size for transport. Would like a 7200 RPM drive.

Overall a very good drive for the price, interface compatibility, and size. b&h had the drive on discount in March making the drive selection over it’s competitors to be an obvious choice

I used the WD 2TB My Passport external hard drive to back up my 2 TB Brennan B2 music library. It worked very well. I also used a powered USB hub to connect as the download speeds are very fast. One thing I ought to mention is because the download speeds are so fast, I recommend placing a fan in front of the Brennan B2 as it can get hot. In fact, before I put the fan on my B2 froze and I had to hard close to shut it off to cool it. After using the fan I had no more problems with overheating. I did not have any problems with the external hard drive overheating. It took me about 3 days to download my music library as I have used about 500 GB on my B2 and I only ran the external hard drive for about 4 hours each day to avoid overheating. The other thing I have to recommend is the compact size of the external hard dive, 3 x 4 x 3/8, as it does not take up a lot of room.

I seem to go through quite a bit of data. It’s nice to know my data is backed up in a drive that was very easy to set up.
Onie Aufderhar (verified owner) –
I use it as my photo backup It seemed slow loading unti you realize all the data it was collecting, so I am not unhappy.
Cydney Lind (verified owner) –
Bought it, plugged it in, dumped files, no problem. Does what it says it does, and does it well.
Cordie Herzog (verified owner) –
Dependable. Fair price.
Jamison Conn (verified owner) –
Simple startup: Already formatted for Mac. Ready to go once connected. Actually it would have been helpful if the interface made that clear. Four stars rather than five for that reason and because it’s too early to know how it will perform in the long run.

This is being used a redundant back up and has operated as expected so far.
Drake Feeney (verified owner) –
This item came very quickly (in about 3-4 days) and it works great. The only downside for me is that I don’t have many devices compatible with usb 3.0; therefore, I am not able to utilize the drive to its full capacity. However, it works great and does everything it says it would.

Plug and play ,rock and roll!

This is an essential part of my backup system and woked great out of the box and is running fine. Will probably get another to use in remote on site photo downloads. Good quality product.
