Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you dont mind the bright color and just want large storage for a great price, this external HD is perfect. Easy to use, compact, lightweight, and is reasonably priced.

This external drive is very affordable, offers tons of storage space, and is extremely easy to use. With the USB 3.0 connection, file transfer is very fast. Great purchase, highly recommend.

My Passport is small, easy to transport, and has plenty of storage for files I don't want to store on my laptop's hard drive.

This "WD-My Passport 2TB External USB 3.0" is a great external hard drive, very compact and great for transferring large files and freeing up space from you Desk Top or other to an external drive that can be immediately accessed. In my case I transferred large video and scenery files to this device and ultimately freed-up over 22 GB of space on my hard drive. Its a great drive for downloading pictures and videos from your cell phone or computer to this device where you can keep important pics and videos! Easy to install and comes with AUTO-Back-Up Software to keep your documents safe and secure. you have my VOTE! on this.

I'm an audio engineer, and I use this as my storage for all the projects I am currently working on. I record audio directly to this drive, and occasionally edit video as well. So far I haven't had any hiccups, and the drive is able to keep up with all my demands. I run projects recording plenty of live musicians at the same time: from entire close-mic'd drum kits, to small orchestras, and this drive is my primary recording drive. Hardware encryption works like a charm, and I have it enabled, without experiencing any noticeable performance penalties, which is great. Overall, it is a robust, slim, portable hard-drive which keeps up with my demands as an audio engineer.

Works great! Very impressed by the potential transfer speed of 6 GBPS, though real world results are always lower. Even on a mid range laptop however I was achieving 200-300 MBPS on average. When plugged into my phone transfer speed shot up to 1.2 GBPS so that was great as well. Love the storage and the price is right for such a large portable storage. The one drawback is the fractured and at times redundant WD drive software(s). There are multiple programs to install and manage your drive. it would be much easier to include everything in one program. They are moving in that direction with the new EdgeRover software- that's a must try if you have multiple storage modes and means and things are... less than perfectly organized.

I purchased the WD My Passport 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The first thing that caught my attention was the sleek design and vibrant color, making it not only functional, but also stylish. Setting up the hard drive was a breeze; it was plug-and-play with my laptop, and I was able to transfer files within minutes. The 2TB storage capacity is perfect for storing all my important documents, photos, and videos without worrying about running out of space. It provides fast data transfer speeds, which is essential for my work. I appreciate the security features such as password protection and hardware encryption, providing peace of mind knowing that my data is safe and secure. This is a must when it comes to data protection. Overall, I highly recommend the WD My Passport 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive to anyone in need of reliable and portable storage. It's a great investment that meets all my storage needs with style and efficiency.

I have used several of the WD My Passport drives both as portable storage/backups and as expansions for gaming consoles. The drives have worked well and are quiet and fast. I purchased this drive as a gift for my 3 nieces to use on their Xbox for storage expansion. The drive connected effortlessly and was setup for Xbox use in minutes. Works well and they are all 3 very happy having space to store their games. I have found the 4TB & 5TB versions to be reliable and fast and expect the same from the 2TB version. The drive is quiet even under read/write load and operates very fast when connected to USB 3 and works well on Usb 1/2 ports as well. It is also as vibration free as possible. When starting up you can barely feel the vibration when touching the drive and it certainly is not noticeable through your desk. The only visible indication that the drive is powered is a small LED which is bright enough to be useful but not so much that it is a distraction. To maintain the reliability, especially if this is a travel drive, I highly suggest getting a padded case to store it in. I have used both a padded case and the original packaging from the manufacturer for transport and both have protected the drive very well. This drive is a great purchase when it is on sale and not a bad purchase at regular price.

This is my second WD scan disk and it is the perfect size and the right amount of storage.

We live in a high fire danger area and this device is perfect for backing up our home computer and then storing in the bank safety deposit box. It's slim design and large capacity are perfect for data, music and video files and the 2TB size provides a lot of storage space for the cost. Setup and use are extremely easy. Highly recommend.

This has expanded my pc gaming ability. I have a lot of games on my pc and within the first year it was already full. I found this in store when I didn’t even know I was looking for it and it was the literal Best Buy. It’s nowhere near full and it’s working like a charm. I was able to clear up space on my pc and ease of balancing what I want on this so it may travel with me.

WD - My Passport 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Red This external drive is more compact than my others. It packed in easy for traveling and I like the red color so I can see it in the division of my carrier. It works quickly. Nice to have 2TB.

works great. this is my second one. i bought this to replace the first because it kept randomly disconnecting but it did last 5 or 6 years even with me using it to download steam games. after i got it, the new one was doing the same. realized the issue was the usb port, not the hard drive. so now i have two of these and they both work great!. im using the old one exclusively for games and the new one for my files and photos now. It outlasted my laptop by at least a year (I got the first one before I got this computer)

It was easy to set up, appears to be working as it should, is not bulky and the price was reasonable. I have a similar model purchased a few years ago and it's also still doing fine.

Exactly as described. I replaced an older hard drive. The small, lightweight Passport is convenient to carry, and ease of use allows me to download pics and files more often. I appreciate the ability to store less data on my primary laptop. I would have given 5 stars but I found the same item for a lower price on walmart's site. BB refused to match the price.

Great storage for the price! Easy to use. Just plug and play. Wonderful way to store all of our pictures.

Easy to use fast and reliable. Lot of storage capacity.

I'm digitizing a huge library of videos and music and using these drives to store the files. This has been a long term project and the WD Passport drives... I've purchased eight... have been outstanding. I'm very happy with their reliability and speed, and they have become smaller over the years making storing them easy.

Needed more memory for my PS4 since I was having to erase a lot of downloaded games. This 2TB hard drive was a great deal and easy to plug in and use for my PS4. Now I can have a lot of my downloaded games ready to play. I do recommend this hard drive.

Small, compact, yet a great USB drive. Ready to work straight out of the box, easy to connect and fast transfer rate.
