    Stopped working already, well failed just about a month after purchase. I/O error and drive not initialized all of a sudden, nor will it. Of course it was college students weeks of work locked up on there.

    I bought this about 2 weeks ago and it is no longer working. Do not buy it since it’s trash. I should have researched online and there are a lot of issues with WD passport which you can look up on YouTube. Never buying WD products again!!!!!

    Bad experience. Stopped working and had hardware issues within a few months of use. Very disappointed. There was no way to do a hard reset either. Rotten.

    Bought a brand new unit and it was defective right out of the box. First thing I did after I opened the item was plugged it straight into my PS4, and it said it was unable to format the device because there was corrupted data on it. How?

    Missing an instillation guide and is no longer supported by Western Digital. Unable to activate — what a waste of money! Too bad I waited so long to install it. Lost my money on something that won’t work.

    Bought this for additional storage and did not need it until today. It doesn't work, and I missed the return window. Thought I could rely on WD products...

    Have no idea if component works. Geek Squad made me purchase an external drive and then informed were not capable of repairing laptop...which was purchased at BB. Recommend I go somewhere else. Not a problem!!!

    The first one didn't work so I exchanged it. the 2nd didn't work either. Neither had any instructions. I asked a guy to come out and finally was able to get it to operate but he charged ~$100. What a bummer!

    Thought I could back up my data but after 10 months it's clicking and hanging up. Won't be long until it completely quits! Western Digital used to be a good name but those days are over.

    I would give it negative stars if possible. It's so bad that I'll never buy another Western Digital product ever again.
