WD 1TB Black My Passport Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBYNN0010BBK-WESN

Ive had this external hard drive for about 2 and half months now and everything is fine so far. Its size makes it easy to store and very portable. I use it to backup files for school and to free up memory on my laptop. The only con Ive experience is the software needed to use the hard drive. Unfortunately Im unable to use it at school because it needs a special program in order to function and downloading programs on campus computer isnt permitted. Therefore Im limited to using it on my personal devices.

This was an easy set up. Also set up the auto back up which is nice. I use for work and it is easy to access. I use it to store photos and my only comment is i can not scroll through photo after photo (arrow buttons) when i view photos that are stored on this disk. I have to open and close each one. Somewhat of a pain. I can scroll though photos in folders on the C drive no problem. Does not work with photos stored on this disk. I am using windows 10 file manager/viewer. But i still like it and it solved my storage problem.

The drive is great and works as expected, however you might want to try and find a company with better drivers. Amazon Services is horrible and suddenly loses your packages, and drops off the drives with shady looking drivers in person vehicles....would expect better from a company with that much money to look actually professional.

Seems to work fine, but hard to tell because this product is not intuitive to install or use. The files you need to access online to install the software include a User Manual, which clicking on doesnt open, not even with the full version of Acrobat software that I have. There are absolutely no instructions, except from the community via the manufacturers website, and those are not for lay people, just techies. I even sent an email message through a Contact link to the WD people a few days ago but have heard nothing back. The reason I bought this device, although my old Passport seemed to be in good working order, though over five years old, was for better instructions and a more intuitive user experience. Apparently, none of that has improved with this new model. <sigh>

The first one I got did not work but when I contacted Amazon they sent me another one right away and it is perfect works awesome I just got a bad product which can happen sometimes the first one I got but thanks to Amazon they really helped me out and this is a great product

It was not easily compatible with my MacBook but I was able to finally back up all of my engagement pictures on it. I dont have much storage for my pictures on my computer but this is perfect for it.

Tantos años ya dándole uso me hacen confirmar que fue una gran inversión

So its one cable for data+power. I did not use the supplied software. For the price point I regret not getting the 2GB model but this is still a good choice.

Got this as a gift for my husband because we kept running out of space on our Playstation and it works great! It was really easy to hook up and everything runs great off it. Im interested in taking over to a friends house and seeing if I can play my games that I have stored on it on their machine but have yet to try it. :)

*EDIT* After a little over a year, I had a partition on this drive fail. WD provides no software or first party support of any kind in terms of data recovery. Luckily I know my way around a computer pretty well and was able to recover my data myself, the average user however will probably have to shell out some money in the case that this happens to them. Also while WD is providing me with a new drive as a replacement, I am having to pay for shipping, which I find to be a little ridiculous. This entire process has been a headache and while Ive purchased two new drives to use as backups, I am reluctant to buy from WD again. Taking a star off because of all of this. *ORIGINAL* This hard drive functions perfectly. Its very light weight and has a very small footprint. By default it comes formatted for Windows (NTFS I believe) and reformatting it to work with my MacBook was a bit challenging, but that was more due to macOS than this drive. Needless to say, after formatting, this drive now functions flawlessly and I use it for Time Machine backups regularly. The only downfall Ive found is that it seems like LED in the back wont completely turn off of the drive is connected to power, even if the computer is off. In my case, this was evident due to the fact that I have it connected to a powered USB hub, so even when my computer is off, the drive still receives power. This however is solved by just unplugging the drive when not in use so it really is just a minor issue, if even one at all. I will definitely go with Western Digital for my next external hard drive purchase
