Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wanted to get a new one that would have enough room for all my photos and I turned to WD because I've had their products before and never had any problems. It's compact, easy to use and the yellow color (always my favorite!) made it extra special!

For the price you just can't beat it. Performs well and is easy to use.

Bought two for backup of my computers. Small, compact, easy to trnaport

We actually have two passports - so one can stay connected to each computer and back up automatically on the schedule we create. Saved our data when one of the computers crashed and give peace of mind for a very reasonable price.

I for the price you can't go wrong...fast and durable.. easy to use.

A lot of storage capacity. Easy to use. Small enough to bring around.

I bought this external hard drive because I was transferring all my information (documents, photos, scans ...) from an old PC to a new Desktop computer. I needed a safe and secure storage unit to house all of this information as I did not want to transfer them onto the new computer. It was easy to transfer all items from the PC to the external hard drive; Western Digital has a fantastic security system that you customize to your needs. I have since connected the hard drive to the new desktop computer and again found it easy to access my information as needed. I feel confident having my personal information stored offline knowing it is safe from viruses and allows more space on the new computer. An excellent value for the price. I would recommend this device to friends and family.

Simple to use with any computer, works great, and reasonable price.

Setup was easy. Worked great with my MacBook. Would purchase again.

Excellent, small size, great price, fir 1tb. Great for work or home

The portable drive is compact with all the necessary memory needed

So far so good...the hard drive is small, light and easy to use.

Needed a faster portable hard drive with usb 3.0 data speeds. Usb 2.0 no longer was an option because of big files. The hard drive is easy to use. I use it for my xbox one s and ps4 for files only. Xbox and PS need to format the drive in order to store games. PS4 still uses the FAT32 format and does not read NTFS. XBOX supports NFTS but does not allow you to partition part of the drive. You have to format the whole drive which sucks. PS4 is probably the same with formatting the whole drive but have not tried since i don't want to use FAT32.

Small compact unit. Great for mobile storage. Take it with you.

Easy to set up and use. Handy size and good data storage amount.

Really easy to use. It's also slim so it can be stored anywhere.

I needed to make a system image of my Windows 10 operating system. I read different reviews of external hard drives and ended up purchasing this WD My Passport 1TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive in blue. I never made a system image before and there were no instructions with the hard drive in the box, although there was WD contact information on a sheet in the box if one needed to contact them for help. I went on line to "How To Revive Your Windows 10 Installation With System Image Recovery" by techrepublic and they had a detailed procedure with pictures explaining how to create a system image in Windows 10 to an external hard drive and then how to recover a system image from an external hard drive to an internal hard drive through the built in Windows 10 software. I used their information to create a system image and then transfer that system image to an internal hard drive. This WD 1TB external hard drive worked great. I had no issues at all with creating the system image and then taking the system image from the external hard drive and importing it to an internal hard drive. I am very happy with the performance of this WD 1TB external hard drive. I didn't know for sure if the system image would clone the hard drive exactly; that is bring over all my favorites, my programs, my E-mails, and data. I can now tell you that the system image is an exact copy of the hard drive. Nothing is left behind. This WD 1TB external hard drive and Windows 10 work great together.

Nicely priced for one thousand gigabytes. It’s also compact.

Works very well with my HP Computer, easy setup and install.

It is very easy to use. It works great. Plenty of storage.
