Customer Ratings & Reviews

Needed some serious storage device to back Up Thousands or Memories (Photos & Videos) off of my phone. Device is quick to respond and Easy to use with 5Tb to consolidate ALL my stuff in One Place. Decent Price for a Solid feeling storage device. Simply Plug & Use!

I've own several WD My Passport drives and have found them to be truly "plug and play", not only with my Windows laptop, but with my Macs as well. This drive is no exception. I was able to take a full backup of the data files on the Windows laptop, move the drive across to the Mac Mini, and access every single directory and file with no issue. Could not have been easier. I plan on ordering another similar drive to plug in to my wireless router as a network backup drive.

Excellent portable Hard Drive! Small size with extremely large capacity. Very good price, on sale at Best Buy! Plug and Play. Very easy Set Up. Transfer of photos or documents is seemless. I would definitely recommend this product as a backup drive!

The storage is very nice and transfer speeds are decent. It is pretty cheap as well. I always use WD My Passport and the only reason I need new ones is when I run out of space every few years, these have been very reliable for me in the past.

I have enjoyed this compact drive. It has storage space but doesn't take up too much while providing a good throughput. Affordable, portable and easy to use. I wish it did not require a proprietary cable, but then it would probably not have the throughput.

Hesrt little external drives used for simple backups and drive images in case I lose an SSD. Quiet and simple design makes it simple to use. Haven't had it long enough to determine reliability. Just be sure and use a USB 3 or higher port!

Bought this for my daughter for school as a back up to store all her files and big apps and it has helped with the performance of the computer taking the load off the main hard drive. She likes it because it is easy to use and it's portable.

Needed added storage space for my music, videos, etc on a light weight, portable storage to use with my laptops. This fit the bill; especially when comparing cost, physical and data storage size with other similar units.

Great little unit. Comes as a Windows ready device, but made it a Mac OSX ready backup drive in minutes. Voila! My first WD backup drive was being replaced after 12 years of daily backups. Replaced because of age and basically because I needed more backup space.

Had to upgrade my memory banks for the PlayStation 4 and this thing has come in clutch. Was able to download every game I've ever purchased and still have loads of space left. Highly recommend!

Recently I ran into the familiar problem of not enough storage on 3 computers, so I bought the Passport 5TB. Without doubt, this is the best investment I have made in many years of buying computers and accessories. The contains of 3 computers are now securely stored on the Passport, and it has plenty of storage space yet. Easy to use. Just plug it in and use as you would any flash drive or external USB connection. I have an old Passport that still works but is just too small, so I have retired it. Everything is stored in OneDrive on Windows 10, in iCloud, but more useful for me and for convenience is the 5TB External USB 3.0 portable hard drive. Thanks for quality!

I needed a nice-sized hard drive to store photography and videography files. It works on my mac with no problem and it isn't too big to carry around. No issues so far.

I really like the size and convenience of this drive. I does not require a separate power source. The fact that it holds 5TB I can put pictures from the last 30 years on it and have room to spare.

I've owned many WD Passport drives (keep filling them up). Never had a problem with any; this one seems no different. Literally plug & play, the capacity is great, and the portability is an added bonus. Would definitely buy again.

Works great and is easy to use. Tons of storage space.

Great storage capacity for such a small footprint and very reasonably priced little hard drive

I have been buying WD external drives for years. I have never had a problem. Always make sure to eject it properly. I do and I think that is why I have never had an issue.

Great product is huge, and dose exactly as i need it to do. I just wish it was a more universal cord.

A trusted brand for external storage. I've been using a 500GB HDD for many years and it was time to upgrade so I decided to go with this 5TB HDD. I copied all the contents of my old drive to this new one and only use this drive as my main backup. I like its compact size and that it fits in the same storage case that I was using so I didn't need to purchase a new case. The only thing I don't like is the proprietary USB cable, my old one was a micro USB, these should all just be the standard USB-C without having to pay extra for that feature.

Got this for my son’s gaming PC, he loves how much space he now has to add games. Plus it also sped up his PC. It is nice a small making it easy to place on top or behind his PC. Easy to set up.
