Customer Ratings & Reviews

Cheap and horrible product. I am so upset that I wasted my money on this product. Didn't stay connected to my PS4, which constantly had to repair it. I tried to wipe it on my PC and it is telling me it's a bad disk. Do Not waste your money on this. Buy a different brand and spend a little more money.

I have not been able to get ut to back up on my computer. Need assistance

Absolutely a waste of time. Is it Apple though? Or the absurdity of these companies scamming you into buying their products at already sky high prices and then slamming you with MORE charges to even use the darn product? Needed this hard drive in a pinch. Couldn’t use this HD after jumping through their hoop of purchasing the driver for the updated Mac software because then it wasn’t even compatible. Unreal.

I will only give this a negative review because I bought it for my playstation 4. Horrible. Wasted hours and weeks of my life downloading games and for it all to be wiped clean the moment I started to play one. I bought this item twice and the same thing happened again. Please don't buy this for your gaming consoles.

Not much of a fan. When I wanted to remove from device ...it won't leave.

Stopped working in 1 month Makes weird sound and doesn't not show. I don't think it is fixable, i will try to return it to bestbuy or manufacturer I think external ssd or internal ssd with external adapter is the way to go, i dobt recommended buying mechanical hard drive anymore even if cheap.

I was told this would be easy. Wrong. I opened the package and the print on the information sheet was so tiny I could barely read it with a 10X magnifying glass. I called the company and spoke to someone who said you don't need instructions, it starts right up and tells you what to do. Wrong. So far I have accomplished nothing and will be looking for something that actually works.

Item stopped working after a month,stay away if you plan on using for anything else other than file mangement.

I hate these drives - I have bought a couple and they are difficult to get to since with my Mac so I returned

I have a Macbook Pro and it kept freezing when I was transferring my photos and files into Hard drive. I had to type in a password every time I opened the device. Usually that would be great but for when using at work it becomes a drag to type in password.

Most Frustrating device I ever purchased. There are no instructions for operation. The Manual is on line but provides no insight in operation. It seems to be intended for 24/7 usage i.e. not for the occasional backups. Retrieval of files is impossible. Files downloaded for saving are in mystical format that is not what you need. For my purpose, Seagate is a better option.

Quality of construction is not as good as earlier units

Wish I could give zero stars. This is the third WD hard drive I've purchased and 2 out of the 3 are not working properly. I spent over half hour with WD support yesterday which didn't resolve the problem and I'm now on hold for over an hour and still haven't reached a tech.

Every time I create files on one computer and save them on my Passport, upon connecting it to a different computer to access the files there are corrupt records. I purchased the drive on July 31st 2020, so it is only a little over three months old and is transported in a padded bag, the first month and a half I had no issues but now it's an everyday occurrence. I Do Not Recommend!

Couldn’t get it configured correctly with my Mac. I could not access anything, so I had to exchange it for another one.

I had the worst time with this external hard drive. The computer would not recognize it half the time, I ended up having to do workarounds, youtube how to get it to work, then it lost about 50 graphic files I had transferred over. I can't get that data back at this point. This is a terrible product with KNOWN issues. I wish I had read the reviews on google FIRST. Don't waste your time and money.

Bought the USB-C to HDMI Adapter that was recommended by the store attendant and it was not the right one at all. I figured it might not be the correct adapter as the person I spoke to just said, "Here, it's this one" without really listening to my information about the monitor and laptop I am using it with. Have to make another trip back to Best Buy to return it.

It seemed to work great. However less than a year and it already crashed on my. It's only halfway full. I use it as an archive for family photos after 9 months it stopped working. Luckily I have all those photos backed up elsewhere but it's frustrating and scary I almost lost all those. I'll never buy another WD device.

Not so easy to use. My last passport was simple, this one not so much

No worries about the product. We STILL await BB to credit us for changing this transaction from a debit card to cash.
