    No case. Kind of portable. Capacity is more than enough for the average person. Has not failed yet.

    This is my second My Passport. Its easy, just plug into your computer, and thats it. I have 3 external drives (WD) i from the 90s, 1 from 20006, 1 from Christmas and they all work and have never had any problems. Ive had Maxtor and Seagate drives and had many problems. So I am staying with WD and recommend them to anyone

    First thing I did when I got this was to format it because I dont really care for what came installed out of the box. Capacity is awesome and USB 3.0 helps transfer speeds considerably. Absolutely no complaints. I plan on getting another one very soon. For those curious, I use mine for backing up my movies, TV shows, roms, and other things ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    I needed a small lightweight backup drive for my laptop. I also wanted pre-installed backup software too. The WD drive is small like a mens wallet. It comes with a SATA cable on the drive connection and USB3 to the laptop. The drive is fast transferring. Even though backup software is included, its not the best backup software around as the layout of the backed-up data is not very intuitive as the old Seagate drive software. The WD software will only recognize compatible WD drives and backup only WD drives, but not other brand drives. Good hardware/just ok software.

    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 Hard Drive is a nice piece of equipment. I purchased it for the price. Although many had said theyve had no problems with theirs, I did. At first, I got it to work on one laptop that used Windows 8.1. It wouldnt work on other laptop that used Windows 10. My tech guy had to show me how to assign it a drive letter. But Ive had to do that every time I plugged it in. This is the only reason Im giving it 3 stars... I wanted something much easier to work with.

    This little pocket style drive is about as good as these get. It is simple to use. Plug and Play. Any method for copying or loading files to a hard drive works well. I do have one little thing that bothers me but it may be software/system related. If I am copying a lot of folders that contain many files, the data transfer rate slows down. I have found tat the drive is fastest when transferring large files and very few folders.70 MB/sec avg. transfer speed. I play large 1080P video files straight from this drive without a single issue. For 2 TB of storage for such a low cost, I had to give this drive an overall 5 stars. I have dealt with Western Digital one time on a broken drive under warranty. They treat customers very well and do whatever they can to keep you happy. I phoned them, reported the issue and had a new drive within a few days.

    I purchased a MintBox Mini 2 Pro Linux computer, and the new Mint Linux likes to use the Timeshift app to make snapshots of the main disk for backup purposes. I bought this USB disk to keep snapshots on as well as to store other files. This disk worked great with Linux right out of the box, but Timeshift requires an ext4 disk. So, I used good ol’ gparted to re-format this disk to ext4, and in just a few minutes I had a very very fast USB disk. Works great; recommended.

    I find the design of the WD Passport to be well done. While its basically a rectangle, all of the models are the same width, This leads to ease of stacking. Im currently looking at approx. 20 in various storage sizes. They also come in a variety of colours, which makes organizing your data by types easy (I gave up on that idea because of buying the cheapest colours on sale). The downside is that the drive itself is integrated into the control card. In other words, if the USB connection fails, then you cant just pop the drive out of the enclosure and and put it in another box. While I have yet to face this issue, I can see it become a problem after repeated use as the USB connector develops wiggle room.

My Passport is the trusted, portable storage that perfectly complements your on-the-go lifestyle. Designed to fit in the palm of your hand, there’s plenty of space to store a massive amount of photos, videos, music and documents. Perfectly paired with WD Backup software and password protection, the My Passport drive helps keep your files safe.
