Customer Ratings & Reviews

I needed to turn in some projects for my job, and this helped immensely. I was able to handover everything my boss needed, and not worry about taking out space on my computer.

Trusted Brand - I've been using these for years, and they haven't failed me, yet, although other brands have. I get a new one every so often, just to make sure, since nothing lasts forever, but my stack of old ones going back many long years are all still good. These are the only ones I ever trust to backup my lifetime of photos and important documents.

This product helped save my laptop. I was running out of space and couldn't do anything. I was able to move all none essential files which opened up 40 gb of space. This saved me from buying a new laptop and spending another $1300.00

Use it mostly for videos and edits I make, work and even for hobby projects on the side, been great purchase since. Been trusting and using WD products since Highschool, and that was 7 years and still trusting their products.

Finally filled up the entire drive, and Id say it really does the job it needs to do. No errors, Fast, and works great!

Solid amount of storage I used for my media folder (music/movies) to have more free space on my main computer. Was easy to use and the portability/ability to interchange between computers allows me to listen to my music even at my office job.

Bought this to expand my PS5 storage, Instead of using the SSD drive I’ll use this for the PS4 games which they don’t need the SSD that the PS5 games need, so far the hard drive it’s being working flawless, totally recomendable.

Largest hard portable hard drive I could find that didn’t need its own power supply from the maker of the safest drives. I’d never use anything other than Western Digital. I just wish I could get these in 10Tb or larger. I put a strip of Velcro on the bottom so I could mount it in my MacBook case, my MacBook will hold 4 on the screen before the weight gets to much. Would like to see USB-C only cords though with an adapter for USB-A instead of vice versa, but one can obtain cheap cords elsewhere.

Best Buy had plenty of hard drives to choose from. This WD external hard drive was a bargain for the storage capacity and has been reliable so far!

Nice product, works well and performance is good. I had to reformat for Mac use to AFPS but not a big deal

An updated version with more storage space, this backup device is my second purchase. WD has done a great job by now providing a refined 3rd party software that easily backs up any computer and provides an easy way to pick and choose files, folders or complete multi-drive restoration.

I bought this drive to store my DVD and CD collection. I have had no problems with it, and am able to plug it into my TV and watch movies from it.

I love Western Digital My Passport 5tb External Hard Drives. I have purchased several. Always easy to plug in and start adding files. Just don’t ever delete the files that come on it. My nephew has done that before and couldn’t get his to respond. They are great. I highly recommend to everyone!

I got this for my new XBox Series X. It was a piece of cake; just plug it into the USB on the back and follow the standard procedure for formatting. (NOTE!) You cannot use this as the installation drive for XBox Series X-specific games. You’ll know which ones fit this criterion because it has an X | S logo on the tile on the game list. You can install and play XBox One and XBox 360 games directly from the drive, and you can move XBox X | S games to it for storage when you need more room on the internal memory. Just keep in mind that you will have to move the X | S game back before playing.

I love WD products! The Passport is so convenient for travel. Any projects or files that I’m working on, I move over to the Passport, pop it in my travel bag with my laptop and I’m on my way. Once I’m at my destination, I’m able to jump back into work without skipping a beat.

This is a gem. It took lot less time than I was told it might to transfer 300,000+ photos (almost 2TB) from my internal HD to this external one. Not only did it open up space on the 2TB drive, but it now allowa me to access the photos on two separate computers by using the modern version of an old A/B switch. Picture shows A/B switch with Passposrt, printer USB flashdrive and camera card attached to two computers.

Great durable product and plenty of space , I currently use it for my unreal engine projects on my PC and haven’t had any problems, this is a great external memory drive for big projects

5 TB for $120 is a great value. Im trying to back up a lifetime (so far) of pix and videos so I can copy and give to family members

I bought 7 of these for work after a data problem. They work fine and are plenty fast. They hold the full spec of data. Of the 7 two just plain quit after 6 months. Two more failed after a minor surface shock. I work professionally in IT and when I say minor surface shock, I mean just that. The minor shock killed two of the drives. There is no pulling the drive out and attempting any data recovery. It is not an adapter but a proprietary interface board.

Compact, durable, easy to connect, and did I mention portable. Why risk not having the information you need. Take it with you! Worked quite well even running through a 4 port USB connector.
