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

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

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

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

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

Well I never use any backup software

(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

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.

so it's worth the cost of some protection

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

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

I love the peace of mind of knowing my system is securely backed up

A great simple solution for backup and external storage.

These external drives are the perfect solution for me.

I like the style with the bumps on the corner

I also like the three year warranty

WD's 3-year warranty is great.

The WD My Passport drive feels like a well-engineered device, despite me knowing it's just a case and a drive

WD Passport drives are always reliable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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