Quick & easy Reliable Fast

Small enough to toss in a camera bag or a pocket, cheap enough to keep a backup of your backup. Formatted for a Mac without any issues.

Easy to set up. Fast transfers and a small footprint. I traditionally swap out my external drives about once a year. Each year they get bigger. This year I bought 2 5TB drives to replace my older pair of 2TB drives. (My old ones will remain an archive.) So far, I have only activated one, but it is working fine.

WD has a reputation for higher quality (fewer failures) than Seagate Low cost for the amount of storage Compact size Very convenient - just plug into a USB port and start copying - comes with 19" cable

- Works as promised. So far so good.

I use this drive for backups once a week or so and it seems reliable so far. Back when external enclosures had their own power supplies, I had one drive go bad. Since they're all USB powered I haven't had any problems. I'm a pretty low impact user. I leave this drive at home.


Good storage size Can still install lots of games

I bought two of the WD 2TB My Passport Portable Storage external hard drives in red. I plan to keep one at home and the other in my safe deposit box. The red color was more expensive, but it makes backing up files more fun to do! These drives are easy to use, and I did not install the software; I just plugged-and-played. These are the smallest external hard drives I've ever had. The shipment arrived quickly. Thank you!

It's a fast external drive for backup

Standard USB3 1TB HDD, small and quiet. Seems like a little better design than average. Performance is excellent with fast and consistent write speeds.

Fast Good for backups

This is no harder to set up than a thumb drive and at a much lower price than a thumb drive of the same storage capacity. And it takes a standard micro-USB to type-A USB cord

Easy to set up, good value


I like Western Digital hard drives and this is my 4th external drive. All of the still work and I expect this one to perform as advertised.

Works as advertised, FAST

I trusted WD drives

Easy set up, plug and play. Good price!

Durable. Light Non Gloss surface so labels stick well. Decent transfer speeds. Comes with A USB C to C cable. As well as A USB C to A cable.
