This is a fast little portable drive. Works like it should. Great price at B&H

Got this for additional backup for my data. Works well right out of the box. I don’t trust the cloud and I don’t like monthly payments for data storage. Windows 10 (windows 7 backup) stopped backing up my data successfully because of some undeclared file size restriction so the S/W provided with the drive was welcome with the caveat that my license will expire in several years and I’ll have to pay to use it. I’ll do something different when that happens. All in all I’m pleased with the purchas.

These Western Digital drives are reliable, fast, and compact. Great for storage of images, videos, etc.

Good for general storage, but as always, you need 2 of them for redundancy. no hard drive will last you forever with no errors. I haven’t had a problem yet after a year of use. The connector is scary though.

Had SO many photos & files and my computer & 2T were getting way too full. This has been an amazing addition.

Reliable drive at a great price!

I got this drive and formatted it for my Mac computers and have had no issues. The transfer speed is great and the size is very compact and portable. The only reason I took a star off is because of the new stupid USB naming system essentially tricked me. I thought this would be a USB C drive and it is not. The cord is the traditional USB size / shape.

One of the reasons I bought this particular drive was because it had a Backup program. I thought, not being told differently, that the purpose of the Backup program was to be able to use the drive as a backup for my computer. That is not the case. The purpose is to backup the hard drive to another drive. I have not tried moving the program to my computer to see if it will work going from the computer to the new My Passport, but I can say that I will be terribly disappointed in Western Digital if that doesn’t work.

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.

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!

Dependable. Fair price.

Western Digital has been my go-to for years! They make it easy and affordable to get all my video clients organized and backed up!

I used the WD 2TB My Passport external hard drive to back up my 2 TB Brennan B2 music library. It worked very well. I also used a powered USB hub to connect as the download speeds are very fast. One thing I ought to mention is because the download speeds are so fast, I recommend placing a fan in front of the Brennan B2 as it can get hot. In fact, before I put the fan on my B2 froze and I had to hard close to shut it off to cool it. After using the fan I had no more problems with overheating. I did not have any problems with the external hard drive overheating. It took me about 3 days to download my music library as I have used about 500 GB on my B2 and I only ran the external hard drive for about 4 hours each day to avoid overheating. The other thing I have to recommend is the compact size of the external hard dive, 3 x 4 x 3/8, as it does not take up a lot of room.

I really like this HD. I use it for back up for my photography. I like the size because it easily fits into my small fire proof safe. It’s not super fast, but fad enough for backup purposes. So far it’s been very reliable. As usual BH had great prices and fast delivery.

It’s faster than the built-in drive of my old MacBook (A1342, 2009) with USB 2.0. I haven’t tried it with USB 3.0, and I haven’t tried hardware encryption; software for encryption is on the drive. Transferred dozens of GB of data without any problem. Prompt response with directory listings and infos and Adobe Camera Raw and such. Does warm up a bit, but has not gotten hot.I got it with the Nomad case, and the model number of this drive is not listed in the Nomad’s manual. It seems to fit better if you replace the rubber fingers, and that’s what’s recommended for the non-Mac My Passport, but it works well enough with the original rubber fingers.

This is a great drive for either exchanging files between companies or for long term local storage. Would absolutely buy it again and again. Ships very easily to vendors.

Easy, out of the box ready. Plug and play. Easty to drag files. Convenient size and shape.
