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.

I was in a crunch & this was the only drive big enough at Best Buy that I could buy. Worst mistake ever. Bought the drive during the day, transferred everything, that night it started slowing down with the transfer rate, then the next night it bricked. This is supposedly a very common thing with these cheap drives. Many who don’t complain say they have more than 2 more to back up on. Which seems ludacris to me. I would rather spend a lot on a very reliable SSD, instead of buying 4 or more of the same cheap drive that is gonna brick over time. Don’t make my mistake if you’re a videographer working with 4k quality and up files.

I have owned several of these external hard drives. They have been reliable for storage and for backups, especially when travelling.

This is a great hard drive for backing up my photos. It’s not an SSD, but it’s still pretty fast, as it’s USB 3.2. I really like that fact it powers from the USB port and does not need external power. I can take it with me when I need to. Great little 2.5 drive.

I needed to back-up and copy all of my karaoke CD+G’s, presently I own 200+ and over 3,500 songs. More storage space than I’ll ever need to use. Excellent product. Compact size put Super Storage.

Bought two of these and use them all the time! Fast transfer and very compact… Definitely recommend!

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.

I have several My Passport external hard drives and never had any problems with them. I feel they are very reliable. I love the red as well.

Need a separate adapter for newer MacBooks with usbc which is easy to get. I’m able to edit iMovie videos that are up to 30min long (1080p) with no issues.

No issues to use. Good capacity.
Erika Lind (verified owner) –
Surprised on the size and the functionality. Great product and it works well so far, I would definitely recommend it
Shaun Swift (verified owner) –
Install like a snap and runs quietly.
Joanny Harber (verified owner) –
Simple startup: Already formatted for Mac. Ready to go once connected. Actually it would have been helpful if the interface made that clear. Four stars rather than five for that reason and because it’s too early to know how it will perform in the long run.

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.

I have been purchasing the WD Passport drives for many years as external backup drives. They have never failed to work, even when I’ve pulled out out of the safe after 5 years of storage.
Devon Terry (verified owner) –
High quality, good value. I have several and the colors help me keep them organized.
Maiya Nikolaus (verified owner) –
Great brand, super reliable and because it is smaller it is much more portable

This little jewel is about the size of a large cell phone. All I had to do was plug it in to my iMac and it started downloading the files. Took about an hour and a half. It comes with the necessary adapter so I had nothing else to buy. For the price I don’t think you can beat it.
