[0.645 lb] I buy these drives for customers to store files from their home movie tapes. They will work on both PC and MAC so no issues with compatibility. 5

[Plastic] I have always been a Toshi fan and these are reliable as ever. Not fast but I only use these for archiving. I own 2 of these and have not let me down. 5

[0.645 lb] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 4TB drive is compact and just want I needed to back up my old Mac. I plugged it into my new PowerBook, opened disk utility, and had it formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in about a minute. Since I have an old 2011 iMac, I needed to use the older file system. I also ran some speed tests with BMD disk speed test and it did well for a none-SSD (see attached photo). If you need an easy-to-use and portable drive, It is hard to beat WD. 5

[Bus Powered] 1st I got a 1TB Toshiba Canvio drive a little more than a year ago. The appeal was the simplicity. I've had other drives and find it annoying to continue updating the software and syncing, etc. so I wanted a simple drive that acts like a regular folder, and that's what the Canvio model does well. Well, as I did more backups I needed more space so I got this 2 TB drive, which works just as well. 5

[Plastic] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super easy to use, just plug it in and you're ready to go. With 4 TB of storage, I was able to fit my laptop backup and all my photos with plenty of room to spare. My only complaint would be the cable is a bit short, I've accidentally unplugged the hard drive when moving my laptop by accident. 5

[Plastic] No Brainer! On Windows PC - just Plug in and Go! Use and recommend to others for regular daily backups on Windows PCs! I purchase external drives in Varying Colors as an In-House COLOR CODE indicator of the Data Type that is backed up on them. 5

[Plastic] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the My Passport portable storage. I was able to back up all important docs on my computer and get all of my wedding photos on it so I know I will have them forever no matter what happens to my laptop. It was super easy to use and is high quality. The value is priceless knowing I have all my important pictures and docs in one safe place. 5

[4 TB] I have using these drives to backup my image catalog for years. Easy to set up, fast and always reliable, never had a failure yet. Rugged enough to take on the road too. 5
