    I had all of my documents on my old computer loaded onto this external drive as there are many I don’t need anymore. It would be too time consuming to delete on my old computer and my old computer was not working properly.

    Failed to import files from OneDrive

    On first use the device stopped importing files from OneDrive before completion. Then messaged No USB. Impossible to start up where device left off, so import begins all over resulting in duplicate files. On next try device turned off and gave Java script problem message. WD Tech Support was no help. Agent did not know device could import from OneDrive. Kept asking what software I was using and did not realize software is on the device. Suggested solution was to manually copy files from OneDrive, paste to MyPassport, then delete duplicates. This would take significant time, and what’s the point of having the device if it can’t import and files have to be copied and pasted. Returned to BestBuy.

    Cheap yet unreliable. Good for temporary storage, but if you're storing files for the long term, these are very easy to fail.

    Good speeds, good looks, and a slim form factor all under $100 - what else do you need? I hooked this up to my Xbox One S, formatted it, and it was good to go. 1 Month in and it's working just fine.

    Good, powerful and fun color. I had to move a lot of storage into this thing and was fast and responsive. I give 4 out of 5 stars only because the design is a little outdated.

    I haven't even had it two years and it failed. It's never been dropped, so i'm not sure what the issue is, but all of a sudden.It can't be recognized by any computer.So all my photos are gone unless I pay big money for recovery service.

      Hi SusanW, We're sorry to hear that the drive did not meet your expectations. That's certainly not the experience we aim for. We understand how frustrating that can be. If your product is still under warranty, we would like the chance to make it right. Please reach out to our support team by opening a ticket at (https://support-en.wd.com/app/askweb) so we can look into it and explore a possible replacement (if needed) or a solution for you.
