I bought this as a replacement and backup of an older drive. It has great security and the transfer rates are pretty quick. Has a lovely function to import from a select few popular online cloud storage platforms, which has really come in handy as I use these daily for work, now I know it is all...

Passport is the apt name chosen by Western Digital for its range of portable storage devices, not much bigger than the 2.5in notebook drives they contain.

Brought for extra storage on laptop, Just plug in the USB and your off. Comes with backup software installed so you can schedule backup for your most important files in a time that suits you.

As with any HDD it is important that out of the box it is easy to use. I purchased this for my PS4 and have never looked back dumping a huge amount of titles on it with the new firmware update functionality. This has completely added longevity of my original release day PS4. Awesome!

purchased in december 2014 and it's January 2015 now. This hard drive still runs strong! Transfer speeds are around 60-70mb/s and continue to be this way. I use this drive for all my games/media. I wouldn't hesitate to use this as a backup drive but always remember to backup twice.
