    "Easy to Use"...after reformatting for MacOS High Sierra 10.13 (*instructions incl.)
    Let me start by saying that I was ready return this hd (or chuck it against the wall) after multiple unsuccessful amateur troubleshooting and reformatting attempts. I'm running MacOS High Sierra 10.13, which is not included on the WD support page. Their instructions sound simple - open Disk Utility, erase, reformat in exFat. If your computer is like mine, it gives you an error message when you attempt to erase and reformat. That's when I was ready to whip it against the wall and call it a day. Reluctantly, I decided to call WD tech support. I spoke to a very nice man from another country who was able to help.**To reformat for MacOS High Sierra 10.13**-Go to support.wdc.com, then scroll down to Software for Mac and click WD Drive Utilities for Mac to download.-Once all is downloaded, open WD Drive Utilities.-Make sure your hd is plugged in, then select it at the top of the page (mine shows an image of My Passport Ultra).-Click "Drive Erase", make sure Format is "HFS+J", select the check box, then Erase Drive.-Your hd should now show up on your desktop ready for files to drop.Now that it's reformatted, it's working as expected.(Photo note: slightest bit of oil on your hands will change the color of your hd...)

    I haven't done any benchmarks on this but it has much faster access speeds over wireless than our very old WD 3.5 inch external drive. It's very a nice, compact design and very quiet. Just plug it in and go. I have it connected to our Netgear router and shared as both a Windows share and Apple Time Machine backup location, which works great so far. Only drawback is the cable length - it's really short so if you want to hook it up permanently and stash it somewhere out of site you might need to invest in a longer one.

    Capacity: 1TBStyle: Standard EnclosureColor: BlackVerified Purchase
    Have had a WD Passport in the past, and needed an additional one so went with the product I trusted. Thought the new build was very sleek. Purchased it, came with wonderfully designed packaging and promptly on time. But, upon plugging it into the computer the hard drive would not launch. Tried multiple product fixes on their site but nothing worked. Googled a lot and ended up finding out my brand new drive must be corrupt. Contacted the company and haven't heard anything back yet.

    Used to love this brand, but now frustrated.

    UPDATE--- Contacted the company and they took me step by step through how to fix this issue. Very helpful and kind, and did without a fuss. Love this company.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great storage device for Windows PC or a Chromebook, BUT...
    Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2019
    Capacity: 1TBStyle: Standard EnclosureColor: BlackVerified Purchase
    I ordered this storage device in the hopes of being able to take all my music and video files from my Windows PC and be able to use them on my Chromebook. The drive WILL work on either, however it WILL NOT enable you to use the files on both a Windows PC and a Chromebook. I can't fault the descriptions on the site. The information was there, I just didn't read it carefully enough before ordering. Here's something else I learned: You won't be able to use the password protection on the device with a Chromebook. Apparently, that is something to expect down the line as I learned with subsequent research. Still, I don't regret getting this drive. The password protection program is a very good one. I now have two of these drives for my Windows PC and I have no regrets. And as for using this drive with the Chromebook, it will work. You MUST reformat the drive with your Chromebook (or a MAC, from what I can see) so it will accept the Chromebook operating system. Then you can use it to play your music or view your video. If you were hoping to use it for any financial or other sensitive information, well you can't use the password function at this time. My solution to this was to continue using a separate storage device for my Chromebook to keep all my video and music files. I just don't put any sensitive information (suck as tax files or other financial records) on this drive because it has no password protection. On my Windows PC, I have full functionality and all my files are on them and I have the drive password protected. And now, I have two storage drives. They are both Western Digital - a company that I trust with a solid reputation. I just use a different storage drive for the Chromebook and I don't have any financial or other sensitive files on it. For now, this is a good solution and I'm happy with my purchase. My hope is down the line I will be able to use the Chromebook with a Western Digital drive AND have the password protection enabled. I consider it a minor inconvenience.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Checking the Disk Drive, Sector by Sector
    Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2018
    Capacity: 1TBStyle: Standard EnclosureColor: BlackVerified Purchase
    I had no trouble installing this disk drive. Also, it is quite fast at backing up my data.
    In reading other product reviews of external disk drives (not just WD), I have noticed a concern about the relatively high failure rate of disk drives in general -- though, according to product reviews and evaluations, Western Digital's drives seem to fare a little better than Seagate's. But to help with this problem, if you purchase a WD, you will notice that the disk comes with some third-party software that allows you to thoroughly check the health of the disk, sector by sector, whenever you like. It can take a few hours, but you can always let it run in the background. It is among the apps called "WD Drive Utilities." By running this app every now and then, you can lessen the possibility of a nasty surprise later.

    This portable HDD drive worked exactly as we needed it to. Great for backing up a computer or transferring files. I bought a new computer and needed to transfer all my photos and documents from the old to the new, and this served the purpose perfectly. It will also be used to keep another computer backed up. Happy with it stationary storage, but I will be getting an SSD for portable storage because it is more durable and can handle being dropped better than this HDD drive will be able to. An SSD is also three times the cost for the same size, so this old-school drive, though slower, was worth it. And it wasn't slow, per se. I didn't feel like I was waiting around forever for it to finish. Just slower than an SSD would be.
