Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love it! Small & portable and just perfect for what I am doing with it. Plenty of room to back up all your important files. My other backup drives are to full to copy my very large music file that can't be replaced so this Hd is perfect!

Excellent quality and I love the color and ease of use. Good price for the amount of storage as well.

I think it is finally great to get an External USB Hardrive.It removes my feeling of insecurity about my data stored onmy computer.

This has been my good to back up dive for video and photography editing. It works right out the box and has not crashed since I got it.. Great product for the price

The item was as described, with a reasonable price tag and has a lot of storage

It works well. I like the color. I will recommend this item

Love this drive. Works as it should, is mac friendly and has been dropped many times and is still working strong.

So far it works well for saving my school projects on and other stuff. Easy to install.

I’m happy with this portable HDD. I got it with 2Tb which is plenty of room to backup my data.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

So glad I purchased this little device! Much smaller in size than I imagined. Very easy to set up and access on demand. It will hold MUCH MUCH more than I will ever use - but that's OK. Took a lot off the cloud - so quickly and easily!! Very pleased with this purchase - as I usually am when I buy from Best Buy !!

It's great for storing all those files you don't need to often but don't want to delete. Plenty space, great price. Just be careful not to drop it or shake it to much, files can get corrupted. But with normal use it's pretty good and It should last for a good while.

Great price! Very easy to use. Perfect for storing documents and pictures and very reliable. Have two of them and will get couple more.

I recently purchased the WD My Passport 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive in Red and so far, I'm really happy with my purchase. One of the main pros of this hard drive is that it allows me to keep my data safe by storing it off of my computer. With 2TB of space, I have plenty of room for all of my photos, files, and data. It's also great that the hard drive doesn't need its own power supply, which makes it even more portable. So far, I haven't encountered any cons with this hard drive. It's been a reliable and convenient way to store and access my data on the go.

As with anyone who travels or just likes to take photos; I back up my photos in at least 3 places. I have cloud backup, smaller devices for travel, but since I am "old school" I do not put all my eggs in one basket. I use portable and dependable passports for my photos and videos. This was my latest purchase and I used it to back up over 20 years of photos and videos from a computer that needed to be replaced. Many of the photos have been displayed at local art shows and sold as cards and I find this product to be easy to work with.

Most inexpensive option for getting terabytes of storage in a small form factor. I bought this for data storage with a new Mac Mini I configured as a home server for music and photos. The Mini had a small internal SSD so I went with this to get plenty of data storage. My Itunes and iphoto media reside in it. I really like the USB 3 port because it matches the USB3 on the mini and gets me maximum bandwidth for fast access. So easy to set up. Just format with Disk Utility, then instant up and running. No special drivers required! Very happy, would easily buy again.
