WD 1TB Black My Passport Ultra Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBGPU0010BBK-NESN

I had gotten this hard drive for my Xbox One and was concerned that the setup would be difficult, but it was INSANELY easy. For 2 TB, I am able to have all my games on my hard drive and easy to access using the Kinect. Additionally, the moment I plugged it in the Xbox gave me a prompt to set up the Hard drive which was simply giving it a name, naturally I went with Watson, due to my XBones increased capacity to remember and feel emotion. After that it asks if you want to use it as a default hard drive, and since mine was pretty full I said yes, so now all my games and everything downloads there. No need for additional outlets, takes only a minute to set up. Very satisfied with this purchase. (I would not go higher than 2 TB, because this will slow down the xbox, supposedly)

In August 2016 I replaced an older WD Passport that I had used for several years with this one. While my older Passport was still operating well, I was concerned about its age and decided a new one would provide more protection against possible storage failures. Unfortunately the new Passport began operating erratically one day in January 2017 and then failed completely - not allowing me access to my files. I have no idea why it failed. - and neither does the computer service specialist that I had look at it. I have enough faith in WD that I am purchasing a new Passport (my fourth) today. I just hope it lasts longer than my last one.

Great external hard drive. I bought it mostly to secure important documents in case anything ever happens to my laptop. So far it has done its job just fine. It is small and portable so it conveniently fits in any backpack, satchel, or travel bag. 1TB is more than enough space for basic documents, but Western Digital conveniently sells up to 4TB models for those who need the extra space. This is the older model, and Western Digital has just release the newer model for around the same price range. The newer model supposedly has faster reading/writing times, and it is more aesthetically pleasing with the new design having sharper corners. I would recommend Western Digital to anyone in the market for an External Hard Drive.

As a giant nerd, hard drives of all shapes and sizes and capacities are very important to me. Ive used many drives in the past and all of my Western Digitals seem to last longer than competitors and outperform all expectations. More specifically to this drive. Going on the road for three months I needed a drive that I could trust for all of my sensitive data, as well as various movies and entertainment. The Western Digital Passport was perfect for this. Not only did it have the capacity to store my >TB movie/TV Collection, It also had the resilience to survive a literal cross country trip. This drive bounced around in my bag on buses, airplanes, cars and sometimes just in my back pocket for a solid three months and is still alive and perfectly functional to tell the tale today. The USB 3.0 speeds are pretty awesome as well! The size is perfect. Capacity is great. As always, another great product from WD!

This compact, sturdy little external battery bank is perfect for those times when youre on the go and dont have reliable access to power outlets. It comes with its own carrying bag and includes a cable that does double duty re-charging the bank itself and charging your device. It takes about 3-1/2 hours to fully charge. Once you plug in your device, and turn the bank on, your device will start charging immediately. The adapter is small enough to store in the carrying bag along with the power bank and cable. I can carry it anywhere. This is indeed the best charger you could have for your gadgets. Its multiple compatibility feature comes very handy especially because I charge different devices with different brands, while being light and simple to figure out. You can also put it on your key ring and carry it that way. I really love the fact that it came with a carrying case. I received this product at a discounted price for my hones and unbiased review.

Everything seems to be working out great with this drive. Ive only had it for two days though. I bought this drive for my Xbox One. It was recognized right away and started moving and installing my own game library. It does get slightly hot when it is running that doesnt seem to affect it. The drive greatly improves the performance of games and beats the internal drive right out the park! Black Ops 3 was horrible when it was installed on the internal but now it plays way smoother. NOTE: I am an Xbox preview member, so game performance is affected by the preview updates. Overall, the drive is excellent. Will update as the drive is tested longer. I am also running a Seagate Expansion 1TB portable drive for more storage. It was a gift for Christmas. There doesnt seem to be a noticeable difference between the WD 2TB but Western Digital seems to be more reliable than Seagates line of portable hard drives from multiple site reviews. This is debatable.

There is no reason to not be backing up your data, and there is no reason to not be using the WD My Passport Ultra to do so. Not only is it incredibly simple to use, but it is slick and beautiful as well (especially the new white model). No matter what size you need, they have you covered and have kept the prices as affordable as you will see for such a fantastic item. My favorite feature(s) have to be the data encryption, and the fact that it is so easily portable. Both of those are selling points to me, and they nailed them. My experience: Packaged well and without excess wasted materials. I had to set it up differently to work on my MacBook Pro, than someone with a PC, but it was painless and I was up and running in 10 minutes or less. The drive has worked flawlessly and has brought peace of mind back once again after not having a functioning external hard drive for far too long. Looks great, works perfectly, keeps your data secure, and is easily portable. 5/5 Stars and highly recommended!

I recently found myself faced with the dilemma of having to send my Xbox One in for repair, thankfully while still under warranty. The notion of loosing all my saved games or having to download them all again via the WWW was unpalatable to say the least. So I decided to move all the data I could from the Xbox before shipping it off to Microsoft to this HDD. Glad I did, because my Xbox came back set up as a brand new unit, even though the unit that came back was the same exact unit I sent in. Couldnt be happier with the space, speed and the drive in general. It is completely powered via the Xbox USB port so no need for an external power supply. The Xbox recognized the drive and I just had to format the drive for use with the Xbox before I could start storing data. Im very happy with it and and wouldnt hesitate to make the purchase again, plus I now have the added bonus of 2TB of storage, which I was having to delete things previously from the internal HDD to make room for new games.

Works good so far. My reason for -1 star is I really wish this came with a small push button to turn it on/off (cut usb). This would save on having to yank a usb cable all the time and putting it back in if you dont want the drive always running or on. The drive itself seems fine, I think, I hope. However the cable they provided is flakey as all heck. The standard end (the one that plugs into your computer) is extremely touchy. If the cord or the plug housing itself is bumped... the drive acts like it was ejected. This is pretty annoying with a laptop given the close proximity to the keyboard this plugs into. Its not the computer port, because I tried it in all three ports! And since the cable for this WD Passport is not-standard, I cannot just use any other cable I have that I know fits snug and proper. * Updated * I talked with WD support, and they were gracious to send me a new cable free of charge to fix the issue. And it worked out, and works great now, without jiggle-risk. WD has always had great customer support.

I wanted to replace my old external drive with this smaller one and to take advantage of 3.0 speed. Ive had good luck with WD drives in the past so the brand combined with the price and product reviews made this one my choice. Its a great deal for a lot of external storage. Its completely quiet, has a sleek modern look, and comes pre-formatted as NTFS. The only thing that may prove to be of concern is that there is no vents in the case to dissipate heat so I dont know is overheating may be an issue down the road. During my first full backup to the drive I did not detect that the plastic case was getting over-warm. I am optimistic that heat wont be an issue by reading the other reviews. I am very happy with my purchase so far.
