desertcart.com: (Old Model) WD My Passport Ultra 500 GB Portable External USB 3.0 Hard Drive with Auto Backup, Blue : Electronics

Review: greatest and best back up system ever - we purchased these to use as job storage they are very convenient and seem to work better than a flash drive hold everything including drawings for a project and then slip into the file when the project is complete for future reference
Review: Excellent product... - This is a SSD design so it is even smaller than my last portable HD. WD just does a nice job on their Passport brand products. I probably have bought six older models for family and myself. I have never heard a complaint. As a small plus, it comes with WD backup software. Nice....

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ greatest and best back up system ever
*by M***E on January 14, 2014*

we purchased these to use as job storage they are very convenient and seem to work better than a flash drive hold everything including drawings for a project and then slip into the file when the project is complete for future reference

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product...
*by S***Y on January 20, 2015*

This is a SSD design so it is even smaller than my last portable HD. WD just does a nice job on their Passport brand products. I probably have bought six older models for family and myself. I have never heard a complaint. As a small plus, it comes with WD backup software. Nice....

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's fine
*by R***Y on December 4, 2013*

Sometimes it scares me a little as I occasionally have to reboot to get my PC to find the Hard Drive. I have two others that don't seem to be so sensitive, so am hoping this drive isn't going to fail in the future. For now it works fine, is very small, and does what I wanted it to do, i.e., stores data.
