Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

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!

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

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

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

Some things to get clear with this product: Quality: This external hard drive has a very high quality feel, the case is well designed and the read/write speeds are consistent in benchmarks. Ease of use: I have to give this portable hard drive a 3 out of 5 because for some reason even after I plugged it into my pc, it didn’t even tell me that I had to format it even though all the disk space was unallocated, maybe I got a bad unit or something but if someone who didn’t know how to format a drive got this, they’d probably have a hard time figuring out what to do with this product. Other than that it should just be a simple plug and play item. Value: even though it’s not stated directly on the box, this is a 2TB SSD that’s inclosed in the housing and in fact not an HDD which is good news, usually you find 2TB SSDs to be hundreds of dollars because they are so fast but this one was about $90 and was a great deal, if you are running low on space this is a great option to consider.

Still running regardless of the bad habĺts (spouse kept it plugged in to the cpu from all the bootup & shutdown / plug and replugged while transfer for the past 4 years of usage). Still working with no degraded write/read speed for these 3 years. Was skeptical to purchase due to these type of models but so far working great. Imagine leaving this in your trunk of your vehicle for a few years and decided to use it to back a family picture & video thats 348gb. Still did it job and transfer Pictures & Video with ease ( only took less than 1hr compared to other models ). So far i am satisfied.

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.

Both Western digital and Seagate make excellent hard drives. Can't go wrong for sturdiness and reliability. Being a programmer 30 years ago, and running my own national website, I have been using these since they first came out, Dropped them half a dozen times and like Timex watches... well this one is no exception. I back up all my data on them. You can buy this with confidence. If you wan't faster transfer, get a SSD.

I went back and changed my four stars to five. My first impulse was because there were no set-up instructions provided. But there are set-up options presented once the drive is put to use. It took awhile before I was confident I had figured it out and it was working properly. Upon reflection, I am sure I have a valuable and very handy drive which is functioning perfectly.

So many people I deal with, who have online businesses use this same portable hard drive , which validates how good and reliable this product is. This is my third upgrade of this particular external drive. I really like its durability and reliability.

Works fine for storing older Xbox games will not allow a Series S or X to read current gen games. Works fine for older games

I bought this as a gift for a co-worker for his using it for backing up laptop. So far, he's pleased with it. WD has really good drives and they've been around for years and I trust them whole-heartedly. I myself have all WD hard drives for backup and storage.

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.

This unit was for storage of downloaded movies that were to be consolidated from several different areas. The unit was familiar because I already had several and this new one performed very well for what I intended. I am very pleased with its performance.

Reliable and tough. Works well with my Dell laptop.

Excellent Drive. I find WD drives work better than Seagate drives. I have numerous WD drives and NONE have failed. I also like the red color to aid used for graphic backup.
