This is my 5th Passport throughout the years.Never had any problems with any of my units. They are all in working conditions (2 X 320GB, 500GB, 1TB and now the 2TB). The 2TB is the largest I have owned and it is holding up great. The backup software works just fine and have tested it.
The unit is small and compact, fast (USB 3) and reliable.

    Comments about Western Digital WD My Passport 2TB Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (Black):

    It does what I needed it to do. I store pictures and memos. It has great back-up capacity. I am a casual user, but when I need storage it is there for me. I would strongly recommend this product to anyone looking for powerful storage and backup.
    The price was right for a person on a fixed income. The 2TB capacity is more than enough for my usage. The Western digital My Passport is also the right size for my crowded desk top. It is silent while it does what I need it to do. What more can I say. I bought it and I enjoy it.

      Comments about Western Digital WD My Passport 2TB Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (Black):

      I use my Passport for data, picture and video backup. The software that came with it was very easy to setup and use. Al I had to do was to plug it in and Windows did the install in less than 2 minutes.

      The included back-up software, was easy to install and esay to use. The PC does not slow down at all when I was transfering video files back and forth. I also tested transfering a video file while watching one, I noticed no clipping or digital effects(blocking).

      Although I didn't need tech support, I called them and tested them out. Hope they didn't get mad about it. Support was cheerful and more than willing to spend the time with me to ensure that my problem was taken care of. Usually tech can't wait to hang up on you. I got the unit on sale for a good price, so dollar for dollar, I would recommend the 2 Terabyte Passport without hesitation. Good job Western Digital.

        So far it's working fine. I ordered another one soon afterward.

        Gets up to 40 MB/sec, although I haven't been watching it closely. More than fast enough that I don't care about the speed. At least compared to my much older USB 2.0 drives, that is.

        Until something bigger comes out it's quite a marvel to have 2 TB in a pocketable device.

            Incredible device with lots of storage at a very low price. Very easy to install with great backup software. No problems to report at all. I would buy this again.

                Yes, you can set this up as a Time Machine backup. You may have to reformat the drive using the Disk Utility in System Tools. Only the newest Macs support USB 3.0 speeds though. This will still work, just at 2.0 speeds.
