It's great to see WD come out with a line of portable USB-C hard drives

I would expect the newer, faster USB-C connectivity to be much faster, but I don't have a Mac running

This drive came already formatted for Windows and there is a USB C to USB C cable also included, as well as a keyed adapter to make it a USB C to USB A cable, in case your current computer doesn't have a USB C port

Thankfully Western Digital sees that this port is still not ready for prime time, so they included an adapter to plug to the standard USB-A. Works like a charm

This USB C (backward compatible adapter included) external drive is great for doing backups or taking large amounts of data (movies, photos, etc) with you

Well I never use any backup software

I don't use automatic backup software on my Mac or on the drive, so I can't speak to that, but it's perfect for photographers or other people who need to backup huge amounts of data.

Software is easy to use, even for a novice like myself

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D7Q2Z42/ I do recommend a padded case because the data on the drive is what is

(Other hard drives need to be reformatted for the Mac, this wasn’t the case on this hard drive)I highly recommend this.

The case is attractive, and it comes with a USB-C adaptor which is now plugged into my powered Sabrent dock

so it's worth the cost of some protection

I suppose if one didn't have much capacity needs, it could function as a capable cost-effective backup drive for a desktop, or for a laptop that doesn't travel much.

This is a really good product

Overall this is an excellent product and I would buy from Western Digital again.

Priced at just under $70 for the 1TB version, this external drive offers an excellent value

Overall it is a good value for a nice, quiet, sturdy drive.

I'm a bit OCD).This particular drive looks and feels more sturdy than the previous My Passport Ultra, but I question using a spinning disc drive as portable storage.

All in all, I have no hesitation recommending it for portable storage.

However, the one before it died unaccountably, suddenly, and much too early, taking valuable data with it.

As a former IT professional, I am always advising friends and clients to backup their important data, and not just in the cloud

I love the compact size, speed of operation, reliability of WD products, and even the silver case that coordinates nicely with my iMac

For an external hard drive, the speed is pretty fast, 130MB/s read and

I have found the upload and download speeds to be fantastic and honestly - I couldn’t find any down sides to this portable hard drive

The speed was so-so (slow), as this is a 5,400 rpm drive, and I was only able to test it using USB-A 3.0.If you need a large external portable HDD, this one fits the bill nicely

I create a lot of e-learning for my clients, and I use this to hold super-large video files that would otherwise fill up my laptop.

And if you care for them properly and don't work from them (i.e. pull files from the drive to work with them and then copy the updated files to the drive when you're done.

This makes for very fast file transfers, even of large files

Also all backup software that I've used in the past has cumbersome file restore designs

However a 4TB hard drive is much appreciated because I'm doing my own backup to local drives, not counting on some cloud service

For the same price as a couple of 64GB SSD cards, you can have a 1TB portable drive

My MBP only has 256 GB flash memory, this 2TB portable external drive comes in handy to store my iTunes movie, tv, and music purchases, as well as all the phones taken from several generations of iPhones.

There are less expensive microUSB 4TB drives

It works fine and the price is right for a portable 1tb drive like this

I wouldn't buy any other kind of hard drive but Western Digital.

This My Passport Ultra Silver Portable External Hard Drive is small, lightweight, and holds a whopping 1TB of data.

This is a great external hard drive that's fast and has a lot of external storage (4TB!!)
