Customer Ratings & Reviews

“Great quality, easy to use, and worth the price!”

What can I say. WD has an excellent reputation. I have several WD external drives to backup my data and, knock on wood, they keep on truckin'. I use them as redundant backups.

I really liked the drive itself. It has a huge capacity for a very low price. However, the bundled software was not as good as the older version I bought several years ago. WD Backup used to offer much greater control of what to backup and where to back it up. It allowed the user to closely track the progress of the backup. WD Drive Utilities is more limited as well. It tests the drive, but provides little information about what it found.

I bought this in-store and went home to back up precious videos and photos. Out of the box it connected immediately and I was able to move my collection from 3 other sources right away with no lag or errors. Works for me, but I am not super demanding. I can access it any time and have no problems with video playback.

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.

I love the feel of this and the fact that it is lightweight.

Good brand no cheap parts used and will buy another

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.

Great quality my soon is using for a PlayStation 4

Got it for my PS4. Works great! So far no issues for me.

It's dependable and reliable........................

Holds a lot of storage was a good price I think for over a terabyte but kind of difficult to navigate using and backing things up. I bought it to back both of my iPhone up to it so I can delete things off of my phones and I have storage still in my phones in iCloud but I have had a lot of trouble doing so apparently you need a computer with enough space and I do not have one so I haven’t been able to back anything up yet it is very frustrating so if anybody has any advice or knows how to help without charging over $200 for one phone I would love to learn how to get that done so I can trade my home phone in. Because of this I was unable to back my phones up and do the trade and I lost out on a lot of money off of my bill which has a single mom whose son just passed away is a little stressful but we need communication with the outside world and the Internet because we do not have a computer. I will probably have to end up buying a new or used one just so I can back up my phone and pictures before the storage is full and I am almost there already.

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.

This has been great for storing pictures and backing up things. Color also helps because then I can see it in my drawer.

My hard-drive w/ a lot of info was starting to malfunction. This one is good for now.

Great product. Works as expected. Actually bought 2.

I have used MY Passport external hard drives for years, and never had an issue with them. Used to move my photos from the computer to the HD to store photos. Easy to use.

So far, fast and reliable. Does exactly what I need. I use it for data backup. No problems connecting windows 7 sp1 or windows 10. For whatever reason the red one was a little more expensive but it was the last one in store and I needed the drive that day so I bought it.

This little passport does the job. I have had many external hard disks and I have had really good experiences with these small compact units. For some reason I have no issues with USB powered drives. I use it to store data as a secondary backup and carry with me when I travel.

You can set this up really fast to back up files. When it backs up it is really unobtrusive. It notifies you when it starts and when it has successfully finished. If it did not send the notice you would not have known it did its work. No directions in the box but it turned out none were needed.
