I would recommend this to a friendBig enough
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What more to say about it Other then it was a great price for a 1TB hard drive. Did not need to format it at all. was going to get a second one for the XBOX one
I would recommend this to a friendGreat hard drive storage
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars Is because this would be my third hard drive purchase. I have need to backup items daily and it is only meant to perform so many backups before it corrupts. It lasts about two years and then you need a new one.
I would recommend this to a friendWaste of Money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this external drive to back-up my desktop files. It worked perfectly the first couple of times, then the app began displaying an error message stating that I did not have permission to access the drive/files I was trying to back up. I tried everything I could to resolve, including opening the app as an administrator and searching for solutions online. Nothing worked. This has basically become junk, and I will have to buy another external hard drive. It will definitely not be a WD.

I would recommend this to a friendDon't buy this for a Backup Drive - it won't work!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I asked for help buying a backup drive for my laptop and the WD My Passport was recommended to me. I bought it, but I can't use it as a backup drive because it is incompatible with Windows 11. W11 sees it as a portable drive, not a fixed drive and therefore won't use it for backup. I'm totally frustrated!!
