Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this to have encrypted backups. Works pretty well. Western Digital never disappoints.

I use this to store my assignments for class since my Microsoft surface pro3 practically has no memory

Connected quickly. This is about the third or fourth external drive I’ve owned. We will see if it lasts as some don’t losing all my data. I recommend owning two, and making them mirrors. Hoping this one will not be an issue.

I only purchase WD external hard drives. They are very user friendly and keep all of our files for our personal and work safe.

I have been using the Passport brand external hard drives for a number of years. A nice compact drive and easy to use.

Very strong made and fast transferring speed for all computers' connections.

It is a great item! Will recommend it! Bought it at the Best Buy Store in Denver. Nice and friendly people there.

This external backup is wonderful; my old pc's hard drive went bad and having this one is great.

Haven’t ever had issues with a WD drive failing prematurely. Nice looking in blue, too. Stands out from boring black.

I don't know much about this because it was ordered for my grandson. He is extremely happy with it

I have been using it for a while and it works great. The price is bit fluctuating, so watch for the low price.

I've bought a number of these over the years in different sizes, but the Passport is one of the best small form factor, quick and easy externals for any type of backup you may need without an external power source.

I bought this to use as backup for my Xbox and It works GREAT!Nice smooth setup, very quick backing up. It's Great!!

Very good quality external hard drive with easy to use back up software. 3.0 so fairly fast data transfer speed as well.

I primarily use this for backing up song sessions and photos and it’s great! Transfers information really fast actually.

All other external hard drives I've have managed to wake up from sleep and a reboot. This one has had perpetual problems and often needed to be unplugged and plugged in again, and sometimes even for the computer to be rebooted to get the system to read it. WD support said I should not keep it plugged in all the time. Not very helpful! The many other drives I've had before and since work the way they should and are able to wake up every time. This was a burden to bear till I bought a new one the next year. The only plus was that it didn't lose any data.

The unit served the purpose for which I needed it. Best But has a VERY limited selection so this was the best available.

Does what it’s supposed to. I had trouble connecting the o line portion where you can back up online and retrieve that info without plugging in the passport but that’s not really a feature I needed. Great value.

I have always been partial to Seagate, but these drives have some very good speeds and work great as timemachines.

Great product. Very glad I purchased it for backing up info.
