Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this a few uears ago. Very easy to operate , great storage capacity, nice and sleak design. Worth the money .

I've used a lot of external drives over the years, and this is by far the fastest to I've owned to date! I was able to transfer all my pictures (over 3tb) to this hard drive and edit, find duplicates and do general clean up with no lag! I really couldn't tell the difference between it and an internal drive! I haven't needed the encryption features yet, but I did explore them and the interface is easy and intuitive.

I feared about not backing up my data on a regular basis. On a Geek Squad visit, the tech advised that my backups could be scheduled to occur automatically by the purchase of this external portable hard drive. It's been scheduled to backup, but thankfully, I haven't had to use that function yet.

This drive is fantastic for larger files or backing up another computer.

This 4GB Western Digital portable hard drive makes an excellent travel companion or if desk space is at a premium. The USB 3 connection is plenty fast for transferring files to and from your computer. It makes an excellent backup solution and provides encryption as well if you need/want it. Western Digital has an excellent history and I have no issues with trusting my critical files to this drive.

It's super simple to use. Transfers videos, videogames and images easily and quickly. Password encryption means I have some peace of mind if it were to go missing. The only negative I can find is the cable that goes in the hard drive is from prior to micro USB so if I lost the cable I'd have to buy a new one. I received this product in part for my review.

This product has been great to work with, and stores all the data I need!

Fast and data saving storage box that is easy to use with a sleek design and very size compatible.

Outstanding product and just what I needed! And service install was excellent.

WD drives are always my go-to harddrives. This one can be used as any ordinary external HDD, but this one is geared more for being used as a backup drive, which is works well for. When you plug in the drive, it has executables for Mac and Windows to install "WD Discovery". This is what allows you to enable the encryption, and backup from your cloud services. You can also install the other WD utility apps. They all seem to work well, and is a great way to keep your data safe. You should always save your most important data in multiple locations, including "onsite" and "offisite". This drive will help you accomplish that.

Outstanding product for storage of pictures and large documents

works great. took me a bit to figure out the cloud service, but once I got signed it everything was easy! I use this to back up files for my job!

Love the color, allows me to identify which external hard drive is which.

Works very well as external storage for Xbox Series X

Tends to be a bit slow when starting up but functions well otherwise.

Perfect Just what I wanted Bruce installed . And I received excellent service.

Was cool but slow and outdated good for small stuff

Good portable hard drive but not what we needed for

I bought WD passport of this model in 2020. I just used two times for pictures storage. Recently I found it was not recognized by computer. Checked with BestBuy, the BestBuy young girl was really nice and tried her best to solve the problem. But finally failed to get it recovered. She asked me to contact manufacture as BestBuy is only a seller and isn't responsible for any product problem. I lost all my files in my Passport, really a disaster for my job and my family!!! Never recommend this product!

Purchase was a gift. Haven't heard any complaints!
