Some points to note about this drive:
1st - If you enable the encryption feature on this drive, for every computer you connect it to you will need Admin privileges to access the drive because the WD drive unlock software need Admin privileges to run & decrypt the drive.
2nd - If the drive is encrypted you won't be able to use it on chrome OS/ your Chromebook because the WD drive unlock software is a windows program which again need Admin privileges to decrypt the drive.
3rd - Half the drive is matte while the other half is gloss, the gloss part picks up finger prints fairly easy so if you don't like a messy looking drive this is not the one for you.
4th - The software allow for you to set a trusted computer so you don't have to enter the password when you connect it, this do not always work, you sometimes have to go through the process of starting the WD drive unlock software and enter you password to unlock the drive when you connect it to a trusted computer.
Despite these few things its a Good drive for the money, I bought the red drive which looks nice & the matching color cable is well built. The included software also allows for the led to be turned off & on. I brought the AmazonBasics Hard Carrying Case for My Passport Essential to carry my drive & it fits perfectly of course I have the 1-TB version which is slimmer than the high capacity drive but should fit them also. I have had no problems using this drive & would recommend this drive once you know what you are getting you self into with is drive. Some of the points I mention would not affect those who do not encrypt the drive.
Then it was able to come up and I was able to run the installation program.
A huge hassle, that could be easily forgiven if the quickstart guide actually told you anything.
So far, despite the hassle of the start up, this product has been great. It runs quietly, though it has a slight vibration hum that you can feel if you put your hand on the table beside it. It's easy to ignore if you just angle it away from where you rest your hands and mouse. The security options are nice, and being able to auto unlock for my main laptop is a big bonus. Overall, I'm extremely pleased!

If you just want something to store everyday stuff on and be able to take it with you, this is a well made great little drive. I always put my trust in WD products.
Just keep in mind this does have little moving parts in it so if you drop it, it not WD fault ya lost all your data.
I have a wayyyy older WD HDD and it still does great. Maybe WD stinks at SSD?
It's a solid hard drive. The read and write speeds are different, the casing is well made, and the color is pleasing. While the design isn't for everyone, I found it to be fine; it's nice to have something that stands out. In fact, if you are purchasing this as a back up hard drive, I'd recommend something that pops out. You don't want to be hunting for your back up when you need it, and the bright color reminds you that you should be backing everything up anyways.
