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

I didnt realize how much storage this was, practically, until I started moving stuff over to it. I got it to back up my personal computer and to move things from old laptops over to new laptops and my new computer. I have so many files on this and I still have SO MUCH room, left. Like I understand, theoretically, 1 TB but I had no idea that I had nowhere close to 1 TB of data between the (about) 3 laptops-worth of information Ive put on it so far. Totally worth the investment!

Used this little guy to upgrade the storage on my ps4 slim. The days of juggling which games were downloaded are a thing of the past! It was really easy to set up, and after a couple weeks of heavy use, it’s shown no delays or any form of hiccup. I’ll update this if it fails randomly, but so far this has been one of my best purchases in a while. No regerts.

Unless you are archiving movies and/or other MB consumptive data, a Terabyte is a vast amount of space. To make it portable, and the size of my smartphone is nothing short of astonishing to this old schooler who started off on a Timex Sinclair. Ill use this to store my data during a change of operating systems, selectively restore some, scrub the rest and use for backup from then on.

At first I was very confused because I have a MacBook Air. If you are looking to just download music on the hard drive the process is a little bit different. You have to: - Insert the cord into you computer - Go to Disk Utility - Click My Passport - Go to Erase - Click ExFAT if you want it to be compatible with Mac & PC - Click Done It is literally that simple.

I purchased this WD 1TB Black My Passport HD to use a long with a digital tuner for the purpose of recording antenna TV. It`s a great Hard Drive. My wallet is bigger and thicker then this Hard Drive. You have to see it to believe it. It`s not just for TV use as it states. I have five episodes of Empire on it, to watch when ever I want. How can you beat that. So, for my use of recording TV, it`s fantastic. Size, price, and multi use, I`m happy.

This portable HDD drive worked exactly as we needed it to. Great for backing up a computer or transferring files. I bought a new computer and needed to transfer all my photos and documents from the old to the new, and this served the purpose perfectly. It will also be used to keep another computer backed up. Happy with it stationary storage, but I will be getting an SSD for portable storage because it is more durable and can handle being dropped better than this HDD drive will be able to. An SSD is also three times the cost for the same size, so this old-school drive, though slower, was worth it. And it wasnt slow, per se. I didnt feel like I was waiting around forever for it to finish. Just slower than an SSD would be.

I love it! I use it for my PS4 and the added storage is great! Put 4 large memory games on this thing (The Witcher, Uncharted 4, Batman: Arkham Knight, Final Fantasy 15) and The YouTube app, which surprisingly took up a ton of space on my PS4 this and it didnt even get half way on the memory! This external hard drive is great and was easy to install. Best purchase I have mafe in a long while.

Overall working well now, but did have some challenges on installation. Was able to figure it out myself but initially almost sent it back because it was too frustrating. Im not really sure what the issue was but initially it would just stall while trying to backup. I looked on the internet and apparently some others have this problem. I uninstalled the software and reinstalled it, and now it has worked flawlessly for a month.

I am not doing anything fancy here, just need an external drive to transfer and backup files to. My one requirement is that computers quickly recognize it and they did. Speeds seem solid but I will rely on the techie reviews which all seemed very good. We had about 20,000 photos to transfer and it took about 2 hours to upload via USB 2.0 and less than an hour to download via USB 3.0. It worked well on a new Windows 10 laptop as well as an old Windows 7? laptop. It is smaller and more lightweight than I expected, which is fine by me. It came with the USB cable.

This had lots of storage space to get all my pictures off of camera and phones and get them in 1 place.
