In the past I always purchased WD “My book” hard drives for backing up iMac and Ibook. Everything worked perfectly. In a few minutes installation was completed. My Passport 2T was not easy to install it because it kept crashing repeatedly. The positive thing is that I learned something about hard drive formatting and disk repairs. I installed the app for Mac. Impossible to make a mistake but the final result was that My passport 2T disk was formatted NFTS (Microsoft) instead of MacOS Extended needed for both disk read and write. After reformatting My passport 2T to Mac Os Extended I was able to back up my Ibook. Still, I had a couples crushes during disk back up. Using another app I repaired the disk and started all over again. Now finally it works. Not being an expert on this subject it took me some time to figure it out. Would I buy another one? Likely, I have to make sure the disk is formatted correctly and if it crashes repair it.

As usual, no issues with the purchase, very easy on B&H. The drive is as described and performs great, storing my processed photos as backup for my Smugmug website, and at a good price. I will be purchasing another soon as I am filling it quickly!

This is a must have. I keep all of my images and video files here to keep my MBP flying. Fast and no lag. Lightweight and noiseless

I bought this WD 2TB My Passport drive because I had already bought a 1 TB for my laptop and really liked it’s size and usability. The 1 TB I bought while in Florida to back up (clone) the SSD. It fits easily in my laptop carry bag. When I got home, I really needed one for my desktop SSD as I had been using a full-sized WD HD & always had to attach a clumsy connector device. This one is SO MUCH EASIER! Plug it in and run my cloning software. BTW, I have ALWAYS used WD drives because I had a failure with another MAJOR brand and I couldn’t get satisfaction for their service department. I have 4 always connected to my desktop for photo backups, and a couple of loose, bare drives.

So far so good. I have always had good luck with WD external hard drives. Easy to use, easy to set up. I upsized because I filled the 2 TB drive and wanted a second external drive to back up photos

I’ve been using WD External dives for some time never a problem. Need this for my old iPhotos/Photos so they would be off my laptop hard drive. Easy to format for my mac, helps also.

not too much noise, and running smoothly

Great addition to my Mac mini as a back up device. It has a USB 3.0 interface and appears to be sufficient for what I’m using it for

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!

WD Passport portable drive that provides plenty of space for file backups. Longer warranty than the Elements series.

It’s fast and it’s portable. It makes a lot of clicking, which is expected for a non-SSD. I use it to backup my Mac.

I was amazed at how small this thing is. 4x3x.5 about the same size as a cellphone and its 2tb. my only complaint was it is a 3.0 USB to USB micro which seems strange, also no power button, but for the price-storage ratio, you can’t beat it.

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.

it’s way too noisy for a portable hard drive

It has so far done everything that I have needed it to do. Set up was easy, shipping was fast. If you are looking for one of these for the ps4, I highly recommend.
