In the past year I have purchased four of these drives for use at home (three of them from Amazon). This is the PC formatted version destined for use with a SONY Bravia TV as a recording device. SInce most TV's require something formatted as either NTFS or FAT32 (i.e., for a PC), this is ideal. Plug it into a USB port on the TV, follow the manufacturer's instructions to set it up and then a few minutes later - Bingo! My TV now has 2 TB of storage space for HD TV recordings. Based on my usage so far, 2TB of HD content seems to translate into about 1000 hours of TV recordings. It's bus powered so there's no need for an external power supply, and it's quiet so it does not interfere with watching the TV.Would I recommend these drives?

I use this device on Windows 10.I also use two "My Passport portable hard drives" using "Smartware" and understand that this device is powered using WD Discovery and that the two systems may not be compatible. That said, I have had no difficulty whatever in installing and using this new device - and it has not affected the other two.It was pretty easy to install and then use for a full backup. I did find it particularly useful to be able to program it to back up monthly (it allows daily, weekly and monthly backups and variations thereof).I did have a slight problem when trying to password protect but discovered that the WD Security app was not downloaded when I initially installed,

Works like a charm, compact, fast. The software to fully handle the files to backup is not mandatory but also works well.Early to rate durability, but based on my previous experiences with WD I give it 5;Versatility is limited: it pretty much can work with any OS but it has issues to simply switch it between different OSs due to file system compatibility - for instance, the device can work with either windows or mac but one might face issues if to work with both. Still considering ok though because this is conceptual tech limitation beyond what WD can do;Whatever OS or filesystem you choose, it is easy to prepare and use - giving it 4 stars though because those less intimate to IT might be in trouble if in need to set it up for a different OS than the one it was prepared for.

I was using a 4TB WD My Cloud in the past and I was impressed with the performance of it, so, I was looking of upgrading my 1 TB Seagate BackUp Plus because it started going slow and have bad sectors. Plus, I needed something bigger for my data.I knew that WD are stable and reliable but I wasn't expecting this. On an 500gb 5200rpm hdd and i3 computer, it transferred at 150-190 top, and 130 stable, on usb 3.0 - which is very good. On usb 2.0 it averages around 30mbps unfortunately but that's to be expected.Highly satisfied and I would recommend it.

Awesome little drive. Great looks and included is a matching red cable too. Hopefully this one will perform flawlessly as any WD drive I ever had. It is a few mm thicker than the WD Elements 2TB drive I used before this one, but it does not matter. It is pre-formatted for pc and can be used straight out of the box, mac users will have to format it separately, or use an NTFS disk read/write utility.Very happy with this purchase, I will probably substitute the rest of my backup drives with color Passports.

Very fast external drive. Very compact - I have an older WD drive, same capacity (and requires an external power source) which is much larger in size. Copy and move operations are very responsive. The built-in encryption is good for me (but requires Admin privileges to unlock, which may not be suitable for locked-down laptops). Nice colour - its not the blood red shown in the photos but a more pleasing shade.

Personally hate the Lego look. It's also more expensive than the older drive it replaces. The accessories pack(WDBFMT0000NBA-EASN) for the older drive doesn't fit (a rudder band that encases the side, protecting it from falls), but that's due to this drice now being square at the corners.Having said that. It is doing it's job so overall a good drive.

Brilliant little HDD- Using it as an external storage device on a Xbox- Very quiet- Doesn't get too warm- Access times seem very quick- Has been running well fro over 2 months now with no complaints- I'll update if any failures in due course- Great price and would recommend

I struggled hard in deciding which portable hard drive to buy. Sometimes too much choice is a hindrance, when making a decision and there are plenty out there. However, I am delighted with my purchase. This external hard drive is excellent!

Great drive for the money but if you need them encrypted don't buy more than one as the software can't seem to handle two or more. I brought two and had to return one and buy another manufacturer's one.

Solid, chunky casing makes a change from the lighter ones that seem so fragile but on the flip side not one to slip into your pocket. Can't rate performance other than it works well for me.

I have been using it for ages now and I havnt had an issue with it as of yet and hopefully won’t be having any issues. Defo would recommend it gives the PS4 a lot more storage

Amazing hard disk, very thin and light, easy to carry around. Good software inside easy to backup computer for example. Would recommend for sure. Fast speed to transfer data

Very happy with this. Use it as a permanent external hard drive on my MAC. Had to format on my windows laptop first though as struggled to do this on my MAC.

Fresh new design, excellent value for money and some nifty tools included such as security and cloud back up through WD app.
