I've been using this drive for a couple months so far and it's been stable, but is a little slower than my Seagate that is plugged into the same computer. However, the price for 3 TB was too good to pass up.

I'm finding these portable drives more convenient than my antiquated NAS. This drive not only helped me out during an episode with my Mac, but is also fast and convenient backup for my Windows. I have two of these drives and find no reason they cant be useful when a 256Gb flash drive wont work

Works for PS4

Bought this external HDD to expand the PS4 drive space. PS4 recognized it automatically and asked to format the drive. After it's formatted, game data is automatically installed on the external drive and will not use the internal storage. I could not tell any difference in performance between internal vs external.

Very good portable Hard Drive and has enough space for storage. But problem is ,if you drop it can say goodbye to all your information. Or you need to spend additional $400-$1500 to recover your data.

This is one of the best portable hard drives made. I have 3 other ones on other devices that have worked wonderfully for years. I would suggest to anyone to go out and get this portable hard drive if you want a device that travels well and holds all of your important documents, etc. Great buy for the money!

I have been using the WD 1 TB model for 3 years without any problems, so now that I needed more storage, I bought the 3 TB version. Nice performance, handy, and the yellow body differentiates it instantly from the 1 TB blue body unit. Comes with a 12" USB 2/3 cable, operates silently and doesn't get much warmer than hand temperature. The provided WD backup software is not so great; I use the free EaseUS Todo distribution instead.

I bought the My Passport 3tb to use as external storage for my Xbox 1 console, and setup was a snap. I did have to force a hard reboot of the system for it to recognize the drive, but once I did that, it formatted it automatically and now works great to store even more games and apps on my console.

I've been very pleased with the My Passport series. I have both the 1 and 2 TB versions and both, after a couple of years of constant use, still perform well. I expect no less from the 3 TB version. Simple to use and reliable. Fast transfer, I was hitting 120 MPS moving files onto this drive.

If you need an external hard drive with an immense storage capacity you can't go wrong with this Western Digital 3 Terabyte drive. WD drives are very dependable so you can count on having no problems as long as you handle the drive carefully (don't drop it on a hard surface).

This external drive works as advertised. I have a few weeks so I don't know how long it will last. I was using Seagate drives but I've had several failures with those. The reviews on the MY Passport drive are very good and so far it is working well. It will take time to see how it holds up.

Bought this unit to have a portable storage device that can hold system images of several desktops/laptops. Unit is small enough to fit in a safe yet with 3 TB of storage more than enough room to do the job. A tad more expensive than some competitors.

I have enjoyed this little external hard drive. It requires no extra downloads when I used it. I also find the spend to be quick. (I moved 10,000 photos in less an an hour.) I love that it does not take out much room in my bag when I go to work outside the house.

Great Little Drive But Takes an Extra Setup on Mac

I purchased this for use as an external drive on a MacBook Air. Since it comes formatted for Windows it will not work directly - but is easy to update. Simply connect and ignore the Windows setup. Go to Disk Utility and reformat for a Mac. From there on it has been great.
