Customer Ratings & Reviews

Five stars for external design (can be slipped into the breast pocket of a jacket), connections (a short USB 3.0 cord is provided but no need for a separate power supply), and immediate use (if Windows, it's just plug and play). Minus two stars for failure to include promised "quick install guide" (only the user agreement is in the packaging), the failure of WD's support site to provide download for instructions, the incompatibility of this drive with Bitlocker (I wanted to use Windows Pro's security to be consistent with my other external drives, but it won't work with this drive), and glitches when installing the WD utilities (had to force the install when it claimed it couldn't find its own EXE files). That said, it's a very handy little device. I wound up using the WD encryption utility and then tried it on a different computer that didn't have the WD utilities. Plugging it in automatically triggered a request to launch the unlock utility and it worked just fine on the new PC. Recommended if you aren't planning on using Bitlocker for drive encryption.

I really appreciate how small the drive is and it can still store so much information and the transfer speed is so fast!

Great for backup storage. Small and compact but great storage.

I love how small it is and that it holds so much..

Product works as expected. Easy to install. Plug and play at its best.

Purchased this item to replace a 2TB backup that was full. Works great with my Apple Mini. Easy to install.

Great device and does not require an extra outlet. Hard drives have came a long way.

Work very good for ps4 and ps5 to save the game and the console more free space, low cost thanks bestbuy

This is a very reliable drive. Works easily and efficiently.

good quality 5tb hdd, it has nice grip design on top. easy to carry and use. it used both usb and type c

I love the product. I'm an avid gamer and need more space for storage due to larger game files. I would recommend this external drive for Xbox series and PS5 game systems. Not a bad price for HDD and more storage space versus 2 TB SSD.

Works like it should. Using as a second drive with a powered hub since the PC couldn’t power two usb drives. No problens.

Fantastic External Hard drive. 5 TB will give us plenty of storage space for years to come. Nice unit!!! 5☆

This external has a great amount of storage and runs fairly quickly all for a pretty decent price point.

Great option for backup, extra storage, and portability. WD Passport is quality equipment I can trust.

Easy to use, works great. Good value, good price for 5 tb.

Meets the needs I need! I can always count on these guys for the next external drives on the market.

Super easy to set up and get going. Offers plenty of space for a great price point!

This is my second purchase of a portable hard drive by passport. I love how small and compact and easy to use it is!

Good amount of storage for a portable, easy to use. Happy so far!
