Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the ample storage, ease of use, and reliability of the My Passport 4TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive. Many appreciate its compact size and the fast transfer speeds offered by the USB 3.0 connection, while some find the included software less than ideal and have noted minor design preferences. The price-to-performance ratio also receives positive feedback.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    I was told that I could format the Windows Passport to a Mac format. It has issues when I try to eject it. If I have been working on a file, and later try to eject it, it tells me a file or program (that I know is closed) is still using something on the drive. I have about 4 WD MY BOOKS and none of them do this to me. I have formatted them in the past as well for my Mac. At the end of the day, I'm typically loyal to WD products.

    I still haven't been able to load info onto it, as I'm waiting for a transfer cord, but I like the privacy of being able to password everything. Note: you need to go online to download the instructions. They don't come with.

    I recently bought the external hard drive. There are things that I didn’t want on our server but wanted to have access at my fingertips. This works perfect and is password protected. I highly recommend this product.

    Great. This is my 3rd hard drive from WD. Very good in usage & excellent after sale services from WD regarding warranty. But these new version Hard Drives from WD are not supporting smart TVs, where as old versions used to work seamlessly.

    I went planning to get a smaller drive. When I saw this one for $100 I couldn't resist. WD is a reputable brand for hard drives. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this again, even though it is way more space than I need right now.

    Ive had several WD over the years, almost all of them still working. This drive continues that tradition. It's a little bit bigger than the drives under 4Tb. Not that I set out to do a drop test, but first thing out of the box it fell about 3 feet. Still worked and still does. The speed seems pretty good, as fast as many of my other drives, but then again the device is limited by my laptop that is at least 4 years old.
