Good product to save important information that is important to me.

I have loaded about 3TB of data onto it without incident.

Very happy as usual with this WD 2 TB My Passport for Mac. This is my fourth WD external hard drive, and I’m only replacing them for the extra space – my oldest one is from 2009 and still works after 15 years! It’s seamless to get installed and set up. Five stars.

Long term storage that does not break your bank.
Kevin Hermiston (verified owner) –
This is a nice portable drive that I use for remote storage of my iTunes library and my photo library. Slow using USB 2 but with a new computer that supports USB 3, I’m sure that the drive will be fine. A good bargain for so much storage.

great software

I needed a backup drive for my work computer. PROS: – Plug and pray. Worked first time. – Decent construction CONS: none

The WD 2TB external hard drive I purchased was exactly what I wanted. Works great right out of the box, and in perfect condition. The online order process was smooth and hassle-free, and the shipping was quick and accurate. Absolutely no complaints. I will definitely be shopping at B&H Photo-Video-Pro Audio again in the near future.

Worked perfectly for me when I needed to backup everything before installing a new operating system on my Mac.
Josiah Goldner (verified owner) –
I like this. Have not used it much yet. But I hate the proprietary plug on the HDD itself. Make sure you do not lose this cable or you will have to order specifically for this one. You cannot replace this with any cable from any computer shop.

This hard drive was really easy to connect to my imac and start using.
Dedrick Powlowski (verified owner) –
Great compact size, nice design, and excellent storage capacity. No problems to date (I have owned many WD My Passport drives and all have performed well).
Laron Waelchi (verified owner) –
too slow for editing, but works as a backup drive.
Maybelle Ziemann (verified owner) –
I figured I would try the white colored WD on for size, and it fits! I love being able to color code the WD drives so I can easily identify which one I have used for certain files. I love that I can plug this in, and it works flawless just like all my other WD drives! The drive is really fast, even when copying from another WD drive! It is small in size and fits in my pocket whenever I need to get up and go. Thank you for offering this great product! Downside…I am tempted to get one of every color!
Gabriella Zieme (verified owner) –
It works as expected. It has a nice plastic build and it’s a little bit smaller than my old WD 3TB Passport. USB 3.2 G1 is the new way to tell us it has the same USB3.0 connection we used to know.
Ines Bahringer (verified owner) –
Smaller than my last Passport with twice the capacity.
Barney Block (verified owner) –
So far so good! I was in desperate need of some space (in addition to the 2TB My Passport I have –I work with a lot of photos and large design files) and this was an affordable, reliable way to get my hands on that!
Nelda Ledner (verified owner) –
I love how light it is. Also, uploading large files, it works quickly.
Florian Stamm (verified owner) –
This is great, easy to use portable storage. I wanted something that I could use to backup all of my thousands of pictures that are stored across multiple devices. We have lost all pics from phones before and don’t want that to happen again.

easy to use, but had to format for mac
