Customer Ratings & Reviews

Having had good luck with smaller Passport drives in the past, I bought two of them when a 4 TB Western drive died in my computer. They are easy to use and can be stored separately from the computer and other materials in my home office.

Work Great! Installed easily, is a very large backup reserve.

I like the size and weight of this. Not too heavy. I was able to plug in to my laptop and it recognized the device instantly. Copying and pasting files over was super fast. I have tried with various laptops and so far each of them worked great with this. Great product.

I've bought a few of these over the last few years for my laptop and they work great and are the most reliable hard drives I've used.

This hard drive is one of the most reliable hard drives I’ve ever had, and that is saying a lot because I’ve had a lot of external hard drives. It saves files fast and transfers even faster. I feel more confident knowing that my electronic mementos are secure on this hard drive.

exceptional amount of storage, compact for easy transport sleek design. I have bought 3 of these and wouldnt buy a different brand

Great device. Fast backup and access for my new laptop. Keep only applications on the laptop SSD and all data on this drive. Can then swap over to my high end desktop when needed for running simulations.

Bought for external storage for work related laptop. Easy to find on computer and tons of room.

A good storage amount, works great and easy to use.

This hard drive is a no-brainer! It is simple and easy to integrate with a laptop or any other device supporting USB hard drives. Plug and play, all the way. It has an appealing look and design and it is fast - as fast as you can pump data across that USB! Great value, great device!

This little drive runs like a champ and is so worth the money. I might grab another one just to have a back up I can carry with me.

Overall I have been pleasantly surprised by the value of this hard drive! It has been used to store video projects and I have not had a single issue with it at all! it's a great hard drive for any project that takes up a lot of space!

I have bought many of these WD external drives and I have never had one fail... They are extremely dependable !!

Worth every penny. I save storage space on my computer. I don’t have to worry about lost files on my Mac or Windows devices. I can take my stored work anywhere without carrying my laptop. This is my second purchase.

Simple and still working after 2-3years of vigorous use.

So far so good! I’ve needed space on my computer for a while now and this has been a wonderful improvement for my storage capabilities.

Great drive with tons of space. I bought this drive to backup and move huge video files from one computer to another. Works great. The USB 3.0 is fast and the how can complain about 5TB of space. I would definitely purchase this drive again.

Thanks for this small but giant product helps me a lot

Needed extra storage space to store scanned copies of estimates. WD is always fast and reliable!

Great drive, great price. I understand that of the portable USB drives, a) WD is more reliable than Seagate, and b) the Passport is the most reliable of WD's portable drives. So far, short time, I'm happy. I do use a powered USB hub when attaching this.
