WD 2TB Black My Passport Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBS4B0020BBK-WESN

This is the second WD 2TB Black My Passport Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBS4B0020BBK-WESN I bought from Amazon. Its slimmer than the first one which I like and its just as good if not better than the first one. The first one has been working hard for over a year now and has never failed me and I dont expect this one would. WD external hard drives are the best out there.

I guess I should have listened to the majority of the other reviews. Unfortunately most of them are true. This drive stopped working amazingly quick. Now dont get me wrong, it still functions somewhat as a drive. But when I try backing up my drive that I bought this for, I get constant errors and it tells me to run chkdsks and all that jazz and that there are bad sectors all over the place. I run the chckdsks and use all of the tools they want me to, yet none of them return errors. Sometimes when you try to transfer large files as well, it just doesnt wanna cooperate. Very very disappointing. Ill be sure to avoid WD from here on out and see how badly Seagate and the likes fail me next.. Dont worry, Im sure they will perform roughly the same. But damn, I was real hopeful here. I have an old WD external that still functions pretty well, so I was hoping to get that same kind of luck. Oh well, cant win em all. And for this price, I cant expect too much I guess. Cheers.

Being previously familiar with WD ext hard drive products, this 2TB unit I purchased was easy to setup/use right out of the box. We backup hundreds of our family photos, along w/ company and personal business files. WD is highly reliable with a very quick speed for boot up, despite it not being an SSD. I would certainly purchase again from WD.

I used this drive for backup and extra storage capacity. It mostly lived on my desk with less than a dozen trips from home to the office. Until recently I worked fine, now it only works sometimes and needs to be replaced. Fortunately I have a cloud backup.

Can’t get it to work, it says file is corrupt.

Ive bought several of WDs external hard drives over the years, and this one remains my favorite. Its easy to set-up/install, but please read carefully before you just madly accept any and all offers the program may encourage. Use this HD just for its intended purpose: to back up your files and protect you in the event of a system failure and data loss. I purchased the 2TB My Passport. This is more than enough spacious realty for your files! If youre the average users, mostly backing up personal data such as photo, videos, and word docs, it may take you a lengthy amount of time to fill the Passport to capacity. The files transfer over at lightening speed. Transfers that were calculated to take a full day to complete occur in less than 5-10 minutes when using the WD My Passport. You cant beat it for all around portability and on-the-go needs!! I highly recommend regularly backing up your data in case of system failure, and WDs My Passport is a lower cost, and highy effective means to achieving that end. The peace of mind alone is worth the cost. This is a hands-down excellent product.

This is a great buy for casual gamers, especially those who have just enough games but not enough space on the standard console. I use this in combination with a standard PS4. It is very easy to set up for storage and contains enough space (2TB) to keep you happily gaming (and saving) for awhile.

I tried other makes before being advised by a knowledgeable friend to forget about the others and just get a WD. Lo and behold. I plugged this beautiful baby into my phone which immediately recognized it (unlike the others) and asked if I wanted to configure it. I concurred and ... bingo. No instructions and computer connection needed. My only complaint is that it does not appear to have a safe means of ejecting it after use. I called WD about this and was informed that the discrepancy came about because the unit wasnt really designed for use on anything but a computer and that to safely eject I should shut off the phone before disconnecting. No biggie. Easy peasy. Its been a love affair from the time i plugged it into my SG S8 and saw that it was a match made in heaven. Its even more fun to plug them both into my laptop and start transferring and copying files from one to another. So cool.

Working IT for decades, I always back up files to Flash/Thumb drives, but use this external drive as a clearing house... Especially while traveling. Laptops are something I go through like paper towels. Mainly, because I dont have the luxury of waiting for them to cool down before throwing them into its case. So, I Save As files onto the My Passport ONLY. Then transfer them (when I have time) onto a digital storage device. FYI, if the name wasnt already taken... they should have called it Timex (takes a licking and keeps on ticking)... Well, a hard drive ticking really isnt a good thing, but you get what I mean.

Buen producto , aunque recomiendo comprar un disco sólido es mejor opción este un día me Pego un auto y pensé que había perdidos todo
