Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like the WD My Passport portable storage. I have two of them now. My preference has been to keep files and photos in local storage devices as opposed to saving them online.

I have about a half-dozen WD Passport drives that I use to back-up my collection of laptops. These drives are very high quality - I have not had a single failure for any of my WD external drives. They are fast enough to do what I use them for - mostly as offline storage, backups, etc. - and I always feel confident that the files are safe. My oldest WD Passport must be over 20 years old and still going. Simply outstanding quality.

What an improvement over the disk technology. This replaced a 1T disk backup. It took very little time to move the 1T to the 5T now I have plenty of storage and the backup program works again - much faster.

It is so useful and easy to navigate. It really helped me a lot with having extra storage for my files, photos and videos.

Excellent and reliable hard drive. This is the second time that I have purchased this portable hard drive.

Light and portable enough for traveling making my media available anywhere and anytime. Read and write speed is pretty good considering for the price.

Easy to use. Just plug and play. Large storage space

Very compact and easy to transport Great capacitive. All combined with WD warranty and reliability. Great price

Great price, easy to use, a powerhouse in a small case.

Great back up storage! very reliable, small, fast and super silent.

I purchased this because my last external drive malfunctioned and I could no longer access my files. I was able to restore a good majority of the files. I connected it to my macbook pro and formatted it to store files as well as be used for Time Machine. So far, so good. If you don't know about formatting, you might want to go ahead and get an external drive that is pre-formatted for macs to save you the extra steps.

PLENTY OF SPACE and at a good cost. This brand never disappoints!

I've been a WD user for years, and my 1TB was nearly full, so I went hunting for more storage space and found this 5TB one. I had it shipped to me but it got damaged in the mail and kept throwing up malfunction notices on the computer. Took the damaged one to Best Buy directly and they changed it out for a new one with no muss or fuss. The new one functions beautifully, and is only a few millimeters thicker than my 1TB external.

Works great. Holds big files because it's a big drive.

It's been about a month and so far I like it. Priced right, pretty compact, lots of space and decent speed.

excellent off line portable storage. Very fast data transfer! Easy to setup and access. Highly recommend as a portable backup solution!

easy to connect and has plenty of storage for working

Slim and compact 5TB Hard Drive for a nice price. Plenty of room to backup files off my laptop.

Perfect size for my cluttered desk with plenty of storage!

WD Passport External Hard Drives are lifesavers if you keep a library's worth of digital media. Whether films, magazine articles, or e-books, you won't have to rent space at those storage centers if you have a few of these. The WD Passports hold less information than the WD My Book, but the Passports are smaller and easier to handle. The 5 TB Passport shown here can easily hold about 500 Hi-Def films.
