I have been using My Passport drives for many years and have found them most reliable and quite convenient for off-site backup. I do, however, caution you to avoid using Acronis True Image for Western Digital software. My experience with this software is a nightmare!

Sent in a timely manner with no issues. Price was better than other sites.

The passport is fast in sending files to it.
Lacy Hoppe (verified owner) –
it worked fine for a year, no problem moving or working directly on the hard drive, after a year it started doing clicking sounds and the computer could not access any of my files I am staying away from wd their quality is very poor, I was expecting better performance and more than 1 year of use.

This is my 4th Western Digital Portable Hard Drive. I use them all to back up different photo catalogs on my MacBook Pro. I purchased this one to replace one that I’ve had for over 5 years. The original one is still working fine, but I’m always hearing horror stories of portable hard drive failures, so I purchased this one as an extra back up. I use these hard drives on a daily basis. I use Adobe Lightroom to organize my photos as well as editing. I have several different Lightroom catalogs and use a different hard drive to back up each of them. I ALWAYS use Western Digital Hard Drives! So far (5+ years of use), I have never had a problem with any of them.

I am using with myMacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports). Plug and use. You can password protect. It comes with two cords, one thunderbolt and one USB 3.

I was able to transport a large set of photos with ease.

Fast & compact drive. If it lasts as long as my other external drives it will earn its 5-star review.
Gaylord Goodwin (verified owner) –
Good product at a good price point. I use this as an archive device for my larger video projects. The storage space is large enough and it’s physical dimensions is small enough to fit in my archive library. I don’t have a USB 3.0 port but was able to use my 2.0 port with decent transfer speed.

I use Acronis for disk image backups, and this unit can hold the C-Drives of all the PCs in the office! When the Ransomware hits begging for Bitcoin, or maybe DoggyCoin (!), we disconnect everything, restore the disks on the affected computers, restore the latest data backup and get back to work (Who let those bad boys in anyway?) Keep one in the office and one off site!

Now I’im able to back up all my important info in 1 place. Works very well.

I have multiple Western Digital portable drives and this one is the largest capacity. It works well but seems slower than my other drives. As for B&H, it is my go-to technology store and they didn’t disappoint, as usual.
