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

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.

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.

This is my 3rd WD external drive, havent had issues with any of them.

So far so good. I just returned Seagate 2TB drive because was not working as it should while coping a lot of files at one time. It just stop coping after few files and then I had to unplug it and plug it in so I could use it again. With this one 2TB doing the same thing, I have no problem and the speed is good too. It goes up to 110MB/s which is fast. The only thing that I dont like is position of the LED which is located on the plug side of the drive. To me is the back of the drive and not the front like it should.

I bought this to sub in for my other external HD with external power supply. So comparing to that, this one is easier to use - plug the USB and thats it. Storage size and speed is OK. When I bought it, 2TB was huge, and USB 3.0 was super fast. But nowadays there are many newer options with SSD. So in general, for a backup solution, this one is good enough.

Very easy set up, and works very well. Only reason Im not 5 stars is the drive seems slower than I expected. Quality and appearance is really good, but a bit faster would be nice. I use this drive every day, and Im typically using an SSD, so my view of speed may be a bit warped. Ive been using SSD for a long time so my expectations for speed on a portable drive may be somewhat unrealistic. I definitely recommend this drive.

This product has auto backup. That feature does not work if your computer is in sleep mode. WD has not, and will not provide guidance on how to wake the computer (using features like Windows Task Scheduler)--Ive been told that repeatedly in email contacts with WD and by phone. There is an abundance of technical support articles, but this is one WD will not help you with. There are work arounds, but I was surprised at how resistant WD is to helping customers.

This passport is about 1-2 mm smaller than the 2017 version and obviously looks a bit different on the outside. Same quality as the 2017 version. Fits the Lacdo Waterproof Hard EVA case I bought for it quite well. It uses USB 3 and works best with a USB 3 connection. DO NOT USE WITH A USB HUB -- even a USB 3 hub! This drive draws all its power from your computer -- a power level too high for most hubs (learned this the hard way). Direct connection to your computer only, please! Flexible, easy to use. you will like this drive, especially if you travel.

These work great and are reasonably priced. The reason for one star off is because I had to reformat in order to get it to work on a Mac and there was a pretty serious error during the formatting process that ended up costing me a lot of time. It would be nice if they offered a Mac and PC version to choose from. This is my second one and theyve both performed great except for the one hiccup and the size of these is hard to beat.

Its small and silent. Bought this for my PS4. PS4 showed 1.84 terabytes after format but before showed 2.1TB!? The USB cable could be longer or is it just the right length? I dont know but it barely reaches around the back from being plugged into the front USB port on the middle of my slim PS4. Its a small hard drive just a bit larger in size than a pack of cigarettes. I did put my hand on it after it had been running for hours downloading PS4 digital content and this hard drive was warm to the touch. I dont know. So far very happy and surprised by the small size and zero noise.
