I have a first gen Xbox one, got it shortly after release. I guess over the course of the last few years, while I was preoccupied on rocket league, games went the way of 100 gb file size. With the stock hard drive that limits me to a handful of games. Lame. So I bought this, 2TB drive to plug into the USB port on my Xbox. After easily formatting the drive through the Xbox settings I was downloading games and playing them off of the external drive without a hiccup. I can easily store tens of games on this drive and significantly expand my library. No issues whatsoever with the product. Would recommend.

The external hard drive works fine as a backup for another hard drive. Very easy to install and does the job of backing up photos.

These work well. We have recently switched to using the 5TB version which for not much more give you a lot more storage. I

I bought this to replace a Seagate 5TB drive that died, and thus far I’m very happy with the ease of use and performance of the WD 5TB My Passport external drive. I’m using it for Time Machine backups and it’s doing the job perfectly. It would be equally good for other more mobile uses. The fact that it is powered through the USB connection is a plus and I don’t have to deal with another external power supply.

Have a few of these, a true photographers helper. can save so much and very mobile, reliable, and easy to use, never had one fail.

I ordered 2 of these for the 2 iMacs at work. From the time I opened the box it took me roughly 60 seconds to plug both in, tuck them behind the computers, make 2 mouse clicks, and that was it. Worked seamlessly, have not even noticed them since then, including their nice compact design. I believe they were 84.99 whn I snagged them so the price was good, too.

I love having this 4TB drive in a compact size, and it’s definitely my favorite external hard drive so far, writes quickly, and is super reliable. Only thing that I’ve noticed is that it sometimes buzzes against my desk, but if I move it that sound goes away. It definitely is quiet, but if your perception is attuned to it, you might hear it, there is also a slight vibration when you touch it, so that’s probably why it buzzes occasionally when it’s not flush to the surface of the desk.

Look no further if your looking for a dependable, portable, non expensive alternative of acquiring more space for your laptop on the go! Lightweight, fast & easy as 1,2,3 to step up! it practically sets up after you connect it via usb. A true pleasure to have found such an item with a dependable brand (Western Digital).

I have like 5-6 of these WD 4TB drives for travel and they are really spectacular. I’ve tried several different drives but come back to these pretty regularly.

This is my second purchase of a WD Passport drive, and I was not disappointed. USB transfer times are excellent and the drive doesn’t require a separate power source, so it’s perfect if you’re a photographer on assignment. The little Case Logic case works great to protect the drive from knocks and dings.

I plugged them in and mirrored my two internal 4TB 7200 rpm drives. Both worked flawlessly.

The hard drive worked perfectly with Apple’s Time Machine. The only criticism that I have is that the USB chord wanted to pop out of the port on the drive. The port seemed a little too snug.
