I heard great things about WD hard drives and had an older 1TB version that has lasted 5 years without any issues. I’ve only had this hard drive for a couple months but so far, I haven’t had any issues with it either.

Started malfunctioning after a couple months of light use. 2 weddings (800 or less RAW files) and 3 small photo sessions (100 or less RAW files) backed up and it started either not taking files at all or going painfully slow accepting about 2 files in 1 hour before it just stopped. SECOND Wester Digital Hard drive to malfunction on me within a couple of months. I will NOT buy WD ever again.

Slim and trim, this does all that’s expected of it, with room to spare. Bought it to go with my son’s new Mac Air for college.

Works great. I reformatted it so it operate as just a storage drive on my Macbook Air.

I have purchased several of these external hard drives. They are great because they don’t need a separate power source; they get power from the computer they are plugged into. Just plug them in and transfer all your data, photos, and videos directly to the WD My Passport. Great for a backup of all your files.

Easy to format for use on both Mac and Windows computers. Took me just. a couple minutes to set up. Like the small footprint, light weight, and fact that it is bus powered. I will use it to store and backup photos I take when traveling, plus to store my music library for use when on the road.

I have been using the Lacie rugged drives for years, but when I updated to the new MacBook Pro Retina, I wanted a big USB 3 drive. These are great. They are reasonable quick, small physically, but big in capacity. They are quiet and run cool. After trying one, I bought two more. A great backup/clone solution.
