Customer Ratings & Reviews

What's NOT to say about Western Digital storage devices. As a company, they've been there from the start of digital media storage and they maintain their reliability. Easy installation and use. Hard to find a comparable replacement in either price or performance.

Since I am teaching from home this semester (at least) I wanted to back up the items on my university computer and on my own personal laptop to have quick access to things and to prevent any catastrophic loss. It took very little time to set up the hard drive. It is very intuitive to use and copied the files quickly.

Great device. Very compact. Distinguishable by its color which permits easy identification of data versus that retained on other hard drives. Super easy installation and use.

It still amazes me that a small package like this can handle 2 TB having grown up with old mechanical behemoths. This one works fine. It is not super fast transfer but it is fine for me to use as backup files or clones of operating system.

Western Digital make an outstanding drive in a small form factor. The drive was surprising for a good amount of storage in a small footprint. The USB 3.0 keeps the transfer speed at a reasonable rate. I chose to partition the drive into two partitions allowing me to segregate different data sets allowing separation of information.

Product as per my expectation , best pakacking on time

I got this to add more space for gaming on my computer and this has helped tremendously. It’s nice being able to just store almost all of my games on this one drive and still being able to access them so easily like it doesn’t exist. Very easy plug-and-play.

This was great for backing up data on a computer that I will be getting rid of. Easy to use and there was plenty of space on it for my needs!

Easy to use and confident it backs up data as needed, Highly recommend!

I have used Western Digital products for years and always find them dependable. This WD 2TB Portable Hard Drive is no exception. Packs a lot of data for such a small device--only about 3" x 4"! I store tens of thousands of photo images with no problem. All in all a great product!

I picked this up at the store, took it home, and plugged it into my Windows 10 laptop. I copied about 300 GB worth of data to store as a backup. Transfer rates on my system averaged a little over 100MB/s. Initially, speeds bounced between 88 to 104MB/s. By the end of the transfer, speeds were up to 119MB/s. I'm very happy! I didn't need to do anything more than plug it in and go. This was a replacement for an old backup hard drive. It's noticeably smaller (about half as thick) than the old USB 2.0 500GB drive it replaced. The whole process was easy. There was nothing I needed to do other than to plug it in and go.

This is much easier to use than I thought although I spent a lot on time on You Tube looking for some guidance that the sales clerk didn't or couldn't provide. Copying my files went lightening fast and copying them into my new laptop was just as easy and fast. I was shocked at how easy it was.

Works for what i needed it for, to store data from an old hard drive.

I'm a wedding photographer and I use these hard drives as my working drive to edit on. This is probably my 10th one and I've never had any issues at all and will continue to buy them forever! I recommend a case if you travel with it.

I cant believe it took me so long to get a portable hard drive. i had so many flash drives I finally smartened up and consolidated. Great price easy to use. i love the password protection on it as well. i haven't found a portable hard drive with both the password and the storage for this price. awesome!

Very fast and small and compact hard drive very fast on transferring files and loading up on my video game console on the Xbox One

Works great easy to use compact size easily connect to devices

Simply put, the WD - My Passport 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive (the red one) is a life saver. It's fast for video editing and looks great on the desk, on the go, or anywhere you might need an external hard drive.

This external hard drive has worked great for me. It is easy to use and has handled my storage needs. In addition, the staff was very helpful in determining my needs and in selecting which product was best for me. I would recommend this item to anyone needing an external hard drive.

Excellent for storing scanned photos. Connected an old Toshiba with Epson Scanner. Tons of room should hold hundreds of photos. Was plug and play and worked first time no hassle.
