    I brought it home and put lots of valuable data on it and it tore up the next day. There was no way to get to the data. This is just my experience. I’m sure it’s a fine product but the one I got was not.

    Bought it for the ps4 worked good for about two weeks. Started needing repairs once in a while. A month out and it constantly needs repairs and reformats. Turned off the automatic sleep setting on the hardrive using a pc, still has issues. Probably works great as a normal pc external hard drive.

    Purchased two of these. I put my steam games on them so I could transfer the game from my main computer and my laptop. With in a week, I lost my entire library of games and my saved game data.

    this carp product will annoy you. In week two it failed to open. I freaked out big time, because I had a lot of information stored in it. Then for magical reason, it worked again. Now it seem to work, but I can no longer trust this crap and had to buy store again from cloud.

    I was able to add several GB of data from old computer stored it back in its box, but when connected to new computer it worked for an hour before the computer would stop recognizing it. Must not be a good design.

    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.

    Do not buy this product, had for 2 weeks before it crashed and I lost everything; schoolwork, photos, and videos, everything I had on it. DO NOT BUY! WD can not recover you're data and you have to pay again for a possible used one for replacement to your new one!

    was unable to connect the unit online it would update. Failed after many attempts including with Western Digital so ended up throwing the MY Passport External Drive into the garbage.

    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.

    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!!!!!

    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.

    although the product itself is good, the set up and auto back up features are almost non-existent. Support on the WD website is a joke. Had I know how poor the set up would be, i would not have purchased it.

    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...
