Is the WD My Passport 2TB good for backing up photos and videos?

Hi everyone,

I’m considering buying a WD My Passport 2TB (75$) external hard drive mainly to back up my personal files. Most of my data consists of photography and cinematography projects, which are a hobby of mine. I also plan to occasionally connect the drive to my laptop to view these files.

I’m not a professional and don’t need anything too advanced, but I’d like something reliable and durable for long-term storage. I’m also curious about the built-in encryption feature and whether it’s useful in practice.

Would this be a good choice for my needs? Are there any reliability concerns or better alternatives in a similar price range? Additionally, would you recommend using a single drive for backup, or should I consider a second backup option?

Thanks in advance for your advice!
