    WD - My Passport 5 TB External 3.0 Portable Hard Drive is another excellent product for storing all your important information - in one convenient location! I've always used My Passports for both work and home use - and now with 5TB of space, I can combine all of my files to one hard drive. I trust their products to keep my data safe, and this particular drive will be used for just photos. I highly recommend any of their products if you want to know your important information will be protected!

    This 5tb WD My Passport hard drive is the best portable HD you will find for the price. Western Digital is the only brand I ever use and the My Passport series is extremely reliable. I have their HDs going back to 2009 and they are still all running strong.

    Faster Write but Slower Read Speeds than WD Black

    Portable, fast, secure storage. Read speeds slower than WD Black but Write speeds are faster. Perfect for pc or Mac storage, not as good for video game external storage. Would high recommend this produce. Can’t wait to purchase more on Black Friday.

    What can I say? This little device does everything you'd want. It holds an amazing 5TB of your stuff for a low price that would have been unheard of just a few years ago. It's totally quiet and fast.

    Western Digital is our brand of choice. Reliable and fast. The 5TB allows for storing all our digital photos and old photos and slides we've scanned or converted to digital. The price was great and on sale helped more.

    Does what I expected it to do. Not much more can be asked. Be warned though, you loose about half a GB of data storage due to conversions of units.

    I use this to store my files from teaching and other educational things so I have more room on my computer. It is very easy to set up and use. Plus, it gives me peace of mind if I have very large files to transfer.

    Great hard drive!!! One of the largest portable hard drives available without the need to plug into a power source. I was able to transfer over 4 TB of data from one HD to this one overnight. I highly recommend this hard drive.

    I initially got this to create a system image in case a driver issue, virus, Windows bug, or something else ever happened (ironically, got an error 3 days after purchasing and this saved me a bunch of time). I also use it to store in-game clips that I am too lazy to edit. It is perfect for my use case as I don't need those clips in my storage 24/7 and primarily having it disconnected with a system image on it is ideal (e.g. a ransomware attack could wipe it).

    Bought this to expand the memory on my PS5, works just fine, bought at a great price, sadly you can only attach 1 external drive at a time or i would have bought another, cause i filled it up already! Lol great buy!

    Tremendous storage capability for a reasonable price. Plug and play, so extremely simple to set up and use. I lost data to a computer crash some years ago, so now I backup everything to portable drives for data protection.

    Easy to setup - easy to use. Literally plug, and play. I'm using it at an offsite storage, and it's doing great. I also used it to backup my PC, and move data to my laptop.
