Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2017

Style: Standard FinishCapacity: 2TBColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Received this item on time and in excellent condition, thanks to the way the manufacturer packaged it. Use it for my primary backup for new Dell XPS-8910 tower computer using Windows 10 Home edition. It is located on top of the pc and connects to one of the USB 3.0 ports on the front of the pc through about a 10 inch long USB cable that comes with the unit.

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.

Excellent Value and Performance Portable Drive

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2017

Style: Standard FinishCapacity: 2TBColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Great drive. Reasonably priced for a 2TB. I have 3 WD portable drives. They all work well and a couple have lasted several years. The difference between this one and the Ultra is backup software. I don't need it. I needed a good external drive for use with my PS4 and this one works well. But, you'll have to reformat it for FAT or exFAT. PS4 won't recognize NTFS file system. These portable are great. I greatly prefer them to standard external hard drives. There's no need for an external power source. It gets all its power through the USB port. This drive is USB 3.0. The performance is pretty good. Seems to maintain 100 MB/sec read and write speeds and higher depending on the file size. It can drop to close to 50-60 MB/sec for large file transfers. This drive is about as small as it can be and not terribly heavy. It's a great choice if you need some external storage. I trust Western Digital. Based on years of good experience with their products. I do not trust the other brand most typically compared to WD. I have had major problems with their drives.

Lock Your Goodies in this VAULT

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2017

Style: Standard FinishCapacity: 2TBColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about this one.

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.

Good HD's, 4 Stars due to GPT on less than 2Tb disk.

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2018

Style: Standard FinishCapacity: 2TBColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I have used WD's My Passport external HD's for a long time and they have proven to be very reliable and trustworthy in all of their iterations to date. I recommend them highly. As with any magnetic media you do need to take some care with them (they are not baseballs), but the even the original one I got ~5 years ago still works. I have reduced my rating by 1 star because the two most recent drives I received from them used GPT in spite of the fact that it was less than 2 Tb. Given that most non-PC devices still won't interact with GPT (many still require FAT32), and that the other primary reason for installing GPT is for a boot disk or highly partitioned disc (both of which require changing the partitioning) I felt this an important drawback (I am skilled enough it was only an annoyance, but they may lose a sale to both their and my future customers due to this added skill barrier in using the HD's).

It just works

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2018

Style: Standard FinishCapacity: 2TBColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I've had this bad boy for over a year now, and it has worked flawlessly. I've had it on my PS4 mostly, and after I switched to PC at the beginning of this month, the transition was mostly painless. When I plugged it into my pc, it did not show up in the file explorer as a drive. However, it did show up under devices. I assumed this was because the drive had been formatted on my PS4 and so it would not show up on my pc. I searched everywhere on my pc for a way to format it like you would a thumb drive, but nothing would show up. After doing some searching online, I discovered the WD Drive Utility software on their website. After a quick download I was able to format the drive, and now it's usable. Currently, it's acting as my backup for windows.

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.

Reliable and inexpensive storage

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2018

Style: Standard FinishCapacity: 2TBColor: BlackVerified Purchase

This is an excellent mid-tier hard drive. It isn't the fastest drive available, and its exterior case is somewhat cheap-feeling plastic, but it is a high quality and reliable drive. I have had one of these drives plugged in as a 24/7 network drive since August 2017, and it has had zero problems. All the computers in my house back up to it over our local network, so it is constantly being written to and read from, but it has held up really well. If you are looking for a great gigabyte per dollar ratio, but still want something fast enough and reliable, look no further than this WD drive.

I recently purchased the WD My Passport 2TB Portable External Hard Drive in black, and I am absolutely thrilled with its performance and reliability. This little powerhouse has quickly become an essential tool in my digital life, and I can't help but share my positive experience with others.

First and foremost, the design of this external hard drive is sleek and compact, making it highly portable and easy to carry around. The black color adds a touch of elegance and sophistication, making it a stylish companion for both personal and professional use.

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. The backup process is quick and efficient, and I appreciate the peace of mind it offers.

Another standout feature is the built-in 256-bit AES hardware encryption, which adds an extra layer of security to my data. I feel confident that my files are protected from unauthorized access, giving me peace of mind whenever I'm on the go.

One of the things I appreciate most about this external hard drive is its compatibility. It works seamlessly with both Windows and Mac operating systems, making it a versatile solution for users with different devices.
