Installation, settings/user preferences, and online registration of the unit was flawless, quick and easy. I have it set to perform a backup of my C: drive every hour, and it does the job in a timely manner on the hour. I have run all the diagnostic tests that the device is equipped with, and all have passed. The extended test that checks the entire 2TB drive took a little over 6 hours to check. I have not had to test the actual backup function yet.
I also have an earlier model of this drive on a different, older computer since 2014, and it has served me well so far.
Over the years, I've continued to upgrade my trusty, old laptop, swapping out memory, converting from spinning platter to SSDs, etc., so when I thought about back-up storage due to the recent rash of ransomware attacks, my first instinct was to invest in a portable SSD, but they're still a little steep in terms of price per gigabyte. Therefore, I looked (somewhat reluctantly) into spinning platters.
I'm glad I did. I got this WD Passport (2TB) for a very reasonable price. OK, there was one hurdle overcome, but what about PERFORMANCE?
Well, I'm glad you asked. Once I got the drivers loaded on to my laptop so that it could interface with the hard drive, I transferred 65GB of files in one transfer and it took only a few minutes. I double-checked once the transfer was done and everything seems to be intact.
Now, you can't treat these as cavalierly as a thumb drive or a pocket SSD, but it seems reasonably well-built and I got a shock-proof carrying case as well. I'm quite content now that I have an encrypted "vault" for my most important files.

The included WD Backup software has been a game-changer for me. It provides a user-friendly interface that allows me to schedule automatic backups of my important files, ensuring that I never lose valuable data.
