The drive works perfectly. Plugged it in and time machine automatically wanted to back up the computer’s hard drive to the external hard drive. Backed up the whole computer in under an hour. Fast, and I’ve used it a couple times so it does seem reliable. The drive is a lot smaller than I thought and probably fits in a pocket (but I wouldn’t carry a delicate hard drive in my pocket!) but the size is great because it saves space for other USB drives in my small fire resistant safe. My only real complaint is that it seems to make a little bit of noise but then again, this is not a flash drive/solid state drive, it is a mechanical hard drive with moving parts so of course it will make a little bit of noise. It’s noticeable, but definitely not annoying.

Had an extended trip to Australia and purchased this to backup my laptop hard drive. Performed wonderfully and made the trip and shooting much more joyful. Had a bad experience recently with another manufacturer but the Western Digitals keep going without a hitch.

The perfect match for my MacBook Pro. In fact it looks like it was built to sit next to it. Love the fast transfers with USB 3… and love that I don’t have to plug it in.

The drive holds 3.63TB or 4,000,750,792 bytes ******************************* [[Plus] – This drive is Plug&Play – there is no set up needed. It’s ready to go immediately. [Plus] – Transfer times seem OK ******************************* [Minus] – Compared to the older Passports, this newer Passport lost its pilot light which lets you know that it is operational and transferring data. [Minus] – This drive is slightly smaller than the same WD Passport 4 TB drive of 2 to 3 years ago and has a different case – this makes stacking of the hard drives uneven. [Minus] New Passport emits a soft noise – this doesn’t bother me and it amuses the cat. ******************************* [Weird] – When I backed up files from my older Passport to the newer one, the newer Passport showed 47GB of data missing. I recopied the files and got the same results. I performed a Disk Cleanup on the older drive and deleted 31GB of data in a recycling bin that I didn’t know was there. Now the difference is only 16GB. I cannot explain this. A random check of the new Passport shows nothing missing, but who knows?

Simple, easy setup – ready to use in only a couple of minutes. USB 3.0 makes backing up through Time Machine quick and painless. Great item!

Easy to format for use on both Mac and Windows computers. Took me just. a couple minutes to set up. Like the small footprint, light weight, and fact that it is bus powered. I will use it to store and backup photos I take when traveling, plus to store my music library for use when on the road.

Works good. Speed of transfer is really good.

I plan to deliver a job on it. An edited video that will go to my distributor. Its not too large and heavy, so mailing it will be easy.

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 have a 3-year old macbook pro which contained over 700,000 items to be backed up. I connected it to this external hard drive and used time machine which worked smoothly. This was such a great buy and it got the job done. I recommend it for anyone wanting to use time machine.

Bought two of these babies for footage (and backup) for a music video we shot in November 2015. Quick, simple – and fit into a standard postal mailer (with extra bubble wrap, of course) for shipping to our west coast editor!

Use these drives for transferring video and audio files. Very reliable drives. If you have USB 3.0 capability, the transfer speeds are amazing.
