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.

After losing data on competitor's External hard drives, I have several Western Digital's for personal and work use. The unit is mac/pc compatible, and easy to partition as I prepare to transition to a newest Imac. Portable sized, with ample space for various files yet reasonably priced. This model Passport is a good value and good product!

It's just a reliable storage device. I store all of my game captures and videos on it. I haven't had any issues with WD hard drives in the past and this is no different. You can also use it for backups too or whatever you want really.

A great item. Works without a problem. Provides a safe, secure and reliable storage location for our material. Large capacity at a fantastic price. Will be picking up a few more for our program.

This is my first external hard drive and I really love it. All of my important documents and work from school are safely stored away. The process to get it connected and read the instructions is really simple, and you decide what is stored in it without everything being backed up every time.

Easy to use and fast setup. Happy with the performance so far. Lots of memory storage capacity.

Affordable, portable, and reliable. Good gb per dollar ratio

Fits in my habd but is a few terrabites too cool great price too thanks to bestbuy and i can free up my pc of photos

So far so good after using for about 1+ months. The device was an easy plug in and connect to the windows 7 backup for storing my files (don’t like using File History).

Once I found a store employee all was ok although they did not know much about the product.

The My Passport WD 5 TB External USB 3.0 portable hard drive was purchased from Best Buy with an additional 2-year warranty. I purchase the additional Best Buy warranty for drives for peace of mind. However, this is my second WD 5TB external "My Passport" hard drive. I have found the first one so reliable that I've dedicated it as my transfer drive between my PCs and new Apple Mac Mini. I reformatted the drive from NTFS to exFAT so it is readable by both MAC computers and PCs. This new drive was reformatted into Apple's APFS platform so information on it can be backed up using Apple's Time Machine software. I store my 1 TB Lightroom catalog of 25,000 images on it because it is so reliable. This is a great drive that is reliable.

It is super easy to use and very compact. I would highly recommend it.

This is the highest capacity HDD that can be powered by USB without the need for an AC adapter. It works okay for holding Chia plots. I prefer the Best Buy exclusive Easystore over this because the Easystore tends to be cheaper. However, the Passport can sometimes be had for a nice price.

External hard drive definitely exceeded my expectations for ease of use and storage space. I will definitely purchase another when needed

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

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

This was the best priced large (4TB) external storage device. I was already using a 2TB WD Passport for the last 2 years, so now I've got 6TB in total. This is so much easier than having to replace internal drive devices.

Perfect. Great item. Enough storage . Works great from my MAC.

Sony finally updated the PS5, and now lets you transfer PS5 games to an external HDD, so I had to go purchase a big but affordable external HDD. This drive was easy to install has 5tb and doesn't need to be powered by an AC adapter.

Easy to use. Great size for home backups. Reliable.
