WD 2TB Black-Gray My Passport Ultra Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBFKT0020BGY-WESN

Backing up your files takes a little longer than the more expensive drives but for the price its still a good buy.

This is a terrific product. I am a MAC user as wells PC and I found it easy to convert to a format readily accessible for both MAC and PC. Western had easy instruction to find, access and follow on their support site. I am not a programmer or IT Guru, so even Could get it done in short order. Once done, it was a breeze and I was able to transfer all my data and files to the drive and free up necessary hard disk space. It is light, portable and fast. I can now access the data between my MAC and PC. If you need a drive, I recommend this one without reservation. The price was right and it is a sold performed. Great for the road warrior like me.

Pretty fast Hard drive even with USB 2.0 Very small, easy to use, but have to download new version of the software. Software doesnt allow you to choose each file to backup or skip. It also buries the backup way down, so you have to search for it. The software could be better designed. Why do the colored ones cost $20 more?

This portable Hard drive is the best I have had. Looks great, feels great in your hands, and it comes with software that allows you to secure the drive for privacy. It is compact enough to sit on my desk at work without getting in the way. When I ordered it I wasnt sure I would like the look of it but once I saw it in person i loved it! Very sleek, compact, and great for travel!

The drive is working fine but there is an issue with the WD backup software. The software could not identify the drive as a backup target although Windows file explorer could see the drive. I contacted customer support via email and told them what I had already tried from their knowledge base. I got an email in return telling me to try exactly what I had already told them that I tried. I then called and was told that a recent Windows 10 update was preventing the WD backup software from working properly. They then educated me on how to use the Windows 10 file backup utility. Problem is there is no information on the internet or in the WD knowledge base on the Windows 10 update problem. I believe I was told this to just get me off the phone. I also did not receive any information on when this issue will be resolved if it really is the problem.

I bought this hard drive for extra storage for my PlayStation 4. It works great I have no problems at all with it. The hard drive does it job. I have over 130 games that are digital downloads instead of a physical disk. So between my PS4 internal hard drive and this external one I have over 100 games download and the rest is on the cloud.

One month in: no problems. Plug the thing in. The software is as simple as tying your shoes. Tell it what to backup and when and youre done. Issues: 1) When WD Backup runs as scheduled it creates a pop-up from the taskbar advising its backing up and the taskbar remains locked on-screen till the backup is complete. 2) If My Passport isnt connected to the laptop when the laptop is shut down an error message dings. The laptop goes ahead and shuts down with no apparent problems but getting that error message is damn annoying.

Strengths: - Plug and play mechanism, optional software is easy to use and useful. PC detected the external HD immediately with no problems whatsoever (using Windows 7 64-bit). - I like WDs straight to the point minimalist packaging and design. Weaknesses: - The glossy finish gets easily scratched. Additional comments: New design is slick in comparison to a WD My Passport from 2010, but this is a matter of taste. Anyways, a USB 3.0 cable is included but I did not capture a photograph of it.

This drive is really beautiful and connected very easily. Ive been backing up my system and intend to use it to store my recorded music. Very happy with the seller. It was received very quickly and packaged well.

I am using the 2TB version of this hard drive on my PS4 and it works perfectly. Installing the drive was as easy as plugging in the USB cable and letting the PS4 format the hard drive. I was worried that it would be noticeably slower than an internal drive but it seems to be roughly just as fast. A couple other benefits of this drive are its small size and that its powered by its USB cable. I am very satisfied with this product especially since I now have way more space than the standard 500GB my PS4 came with.
