Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like the size, the ease of use, the cost, and the capacity.

Great back up drive, easy to use. Plenty of storage.

This is a group product, it’s easy to use, it’s plug and play. I recommend this to anyone who needs to pick up their photos. The files or any documents has enough storage and so easy my mother could use it.

A nice product. I originally bought one of these last year because I needed a good amount of storage, but small enough to Velcro to the back of a laptop lid. Just a few years ago 5TB would have been a WD hard drive sitting on the shelf. The tech has really improved (and in a couple years will be even smaller). Anyway, this is my second of these portable drives, and works quickly and efficiently, just like the first.

Perfect for my needs. Can password lock my data. Easy to use and just the right size. The default password is always the last 8 digits of the Serial number in the device. Took me a while to figure out but hope this will help others.

Easy set-up with no issues we've experienced so far. Using it on the PS5 for the direly needed extra space. Really happy with it.

The overall design and capability of the product is good, but does get hot relatively easily when plugged in, even if active use isn’t occurring. An app on any device this is used on does hinder the overall experience, but not so much that it drops my rating down any further. Good and reliable!

Lots of storage for a great price. Easy to set up and use. Perfect size to throw in laptop bag or backpack.

I've bought several of these over the years and have always found them reliable, plug and play, easy to store, and good value of memory for the money.

I’ve always preferred Western Digital when shopping for external or internal memory. The quality of the product for the price is unmatched. Easy to setup and use, even for those that are not very familiar with hard drives. I also have a couple of SSD drives from Western Digital that work great too, just with much less memory. The 5 TB’s should provide more than enough memory for the average user and yet even packed with all that memory it is still easy to transport and use with other devices. I would definitely recommend this product.

I've never owned one these before, but I bought this because friend recommended it. So far it has done exactly what it's meant to do. I put all my programs, videos and large files on here (many gigabyte) and there is still waaaay too much space on here and it's so compact. When I seen it from unpacking it, it was very small from what I had pictured. My friend has had his for more than a decade and it works like new, or so he tells me. But this is the brand he recommended and we'll see in 10 years.

Large capacity good size portable easy to use quality9

Great for temporary storage of files. I use this one as an external for my PS4

I had low expectations as nothing seems as good as it is advertised to be. I was mistaken. This little powerhouse of an external drive is amazing. It’s a little smaller length wise than my iPhone X but unbelievable in its performance. I got the 5 TB drive and I was able to completely free up tons of space from my laptop by placing almost everything on the drive. The lil WD Passport is compact, and works like a workhorse. Backups can be done daily or whenever you schedule them. Folks this one is a winner.

I bought this hard drive to copy files over as my older 2TB WD drive was getting full (after several years). I use the drives to store pictures mainly as I am an amateur photographer. Transferring files was a breeze. The drive is portable and the best feature is it's USB powered so no additional power cable.

Small in size but holds a lot of data. Great for the price I paid. I take everywhere to share my thousands of photos.

Easy to use and excited to have this much space to use on a hard drive.

With the amount of info I store these days I find it easy to store and categorize my content and use on different computers with these little gems. I have 5 different units now and love em. I have given these out as presents and always got good remarks about them after they were used.

This thing ended up being A MUCH BETTER BUY THAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT! It was the EASIEST thing to install and setup, just plug in and format!!! Now I have tons of games in my off-line library, AND IT ACTUALLY MADE MY PSVR WORK FOR FIRST TIME! Ive had PSVR for 2-3yra now but it never worked because my PlayStation 4 is a first generation and is full of memory so VR would always crash during initial set up now it made it through set up in is absolutely incredible I wish I had got this sooner!?

True WD reliability. I've been using this 5TB portable hard drive to back up all my files before upgrading my Windows 10 gaming desktop to Windows 11. The backup worked flawlessly. No issues. I'm pleased with this external hard drive.
