Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this to free up room on my Dish network box. It works very well. It has plenty of room. I have the Dish box that will tape 16 shows at the same time and they work well together. Because the power source come from Dish box I do have to unplug the hard drive from the box every now and then to let it cool.

I love the compact size. The built in backup software seemed to be doing its job. Like most other items today, the documentation is sparse and the online version isn’t that much better.

Thanks to the windows update, my laptop was caught in an endless boot loop. Although it's older it still works very well, and it needed to be fixed. Got the external drive as part of the repair, it was overdue, but happy I've got it now

I have so much music but my computer does not have enough space. I have enough space now with this hard drive and I have used a small fraction of it

I got this for my bf to put his games on to leave more space on his XBOX 1 and he is really happy with it. its so portable and i may end up buying one for myself in the future.

It's pretty simple. You plug the USB from the hard drive to the computer, the computer immediately recognizes the hard drive and you can start transferring data.

When it becomes necessary to backup your home computer or your laptop computer or your tablet, the My Passport External Hard Drive is not only economic but extremely easy to use!

We regularly backup our PC's using this unit. It's great to know that we can reload all our files and music w]easily if we lose one of our PC'c or lose the content.

Works as advertised. Small and easily portable. USB 3.0 connection for faster data transfer. It's nice that it doesn't need a separate power source like some backup drives.

Have one and love it....this ones for my brother. He's out of room for storage on his phone and the passport is just the thing to which he can save all his pictures on!

I had to clean up my laptop so I needed something to get my photos off it. The passport was just the thing I needed. It is so simple! Just plug in and import your pictures.. that's it.

I've always had success with Western Digital products, and this drive is no exception. It works well, looks good, and was reasonably priced for the amount of storage it offers.

I've had 3 others of these and have never had any issues. I back up my computer, video & music files as well as use it all the time for downloaded movies, esp when we travel.

This external was purchased for use in a media build to handle any number of video files. To date it has done everything I have asked of it. I will be, no doubt, picking up at least 2 more

WD is always my choice when buying a portable hard drive. I have had a good history with them, and this one is no exception. I would recommend this drive to anyone.

I really didn't use it myself, thankfully the geek squad exists! They knew what they were doing and used this product to back up my computer before they worked on it.

Product is light and portable. It's powered by the USB port unlike my previous external hard drive, and software makes it easy to set up back up schedules or to do so manually.

This is my second backup device and it works very well. Very small footprint and is pretty fast. No problems. It does what I want it to do for a very reasonable price.

This was a great buy for the price. Very easy to set up even though I had never done this before. Never used backup before. The amount of space on this drive will last me a lifetime.

The WD - My Passport 1TB External works perfectly. It is simple to install and has a ton of space to save to. if you have old pictures and videos to save, this is the ticket.
