I bought this WD passport 1T 1 week ago and have been using it intensively and daily. I've already transferred more than 400GB info as a back-up. Honestly say, I was surprised when I saw the speed of transfer via usb 3. I had tried to plug it into the usb 2 in my comp.

The only thing I can say is that when I hooked up the hard drive to my laptop, it only showed abou 93 GB of info available and not 1TB. I would have appreciated not having less than what I thought I was purchasing. So far everything else seems to be working fine.

Easy to Use

not 1 tb

expected to be able to put items on harddrive to free up computer, dont know if im using it wrong or if it doesnt do it but def back up my macbook pro.

If you want a speedy, compact external drive with an ample warranty and excellent backup software, My Passport Ultra is a good option. The two-tone plastic shell is our only big complaint.

One of the fastest bus-powered hard drives we've tested; Simple; useful backup software that works with non-WD drives and Dropbox; Three-year warranty

Costs a bit more than competing drives at 1TB capacity; Plastic shell doesn't look or feel overly rugged; Seagate Backup Plus drives are more versatile

Does what it needs to, solid, light. Would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the dodgy software provided which is memory hungry. Probably have to uninstall most of it.

I own three WD My Passport drives. I find them to be very reliable and they also run cool. Definitely recommended.
