So far so good. It is quite compact, so easy to carry in my computer bag. Bought this to replace my old backup drive, which was a WD 2 TB My Passport drive. It died suddenly after about 4 years immediately after going through airline carry-on. Good thing I do backups to two drives. (You do that, too, don't you? The other drive I left at home.) My MacBook Air only has USB 2, so I can't make use of the drive's full speed. I can only say it works well on my old 2010 Macbook Air after a simple reformatting using the Mac's built in Disk Utility program. Because my laptop's battery is old and weak, I only use this drive while the laptop is plugged in.

I backed up my entire computer on this little device and feel very comfortable that all my files are in a safe place now in case of crashing sometime in the future. I highly recommend these My Passports as they are easy to use and with a case can be taken anywhere. I also have a 2TB one so feel I'm all set for backup and storage.

As an avid fan of the previous models of the WD My Passport series of external hard drives, I was initially put off by the new aesthetic of the product. With the odd ridges on half of the hard drive and the sharp edges of the plastic shell, I couldn't help but compare it to its more professional-looking, ergonomic predecessor. Looks aside, this hard drive has made some interesting design changes which has solved issues I have had with the older drives. Unlike the older model, this drive has a LED which is much softer on the eyes at night, a must when trying to get sleep. Another major improvement I've quickly noticed is the increased stiffness of the USB connectors, which may suggest higher durability. In addition, I noticed that this revised drive does not fit as easily into drive cases, due to the aforementioned sharp shell edges. The biggest pro I see for this drive (why I bought it) is the significantly lower cost compared to the previous model. This may not hold true indefinitely, but this external hard drive is a great bargain during sales.Read full review

This is the second Passport I have owned. 3TB of data, is kind of unbelievable. The price I paid for it was well below market price. It plugged in and worked perfectly the first time I used it.
