I recently bought my Passport Essential 500gb External drive and have love how easy it is!! I had a Hitachi 1tb external hard drive, which was good but just too bulky. This WD is so small, about the size of a wallet, and I can easily fit into my pocket or in my laptop bag without any problems. It is also super lightweight. It can be used as a backup or just an external hard drive, and I chose not to install the WD software onto my computer. I use it mainly as an external hard drive which holds a bunch of movies, songs, and photos. Frees up alot of space on my laptop. The best thing I like about it is that it is super fast!! USB 3.0 is amazing, so much faster than 2.0. I can get things transferred at least 4 times faster, which saves me time.

This external hard drive I bought because I needed to back up my files on the hard drive on my labtop.
WD chose the brand because he knew and worked well, plus its size is very comfortable to walk with the
I bought other refurbished products and have had no problems with them, also have lower cost, why I chose this type.
