Customer Ratings & Reviews

This drive works good. Needed something to store videos. I have 2 more passport external drives but filled them up. This is my first 5 TB drive. I wish the transfer rate was faster, but it works well.

It's great! Plenty of storage to hold all my client files.

This is a great high-capacity, low-cost backup drive. The included software is all I need to perform system backups. An external drive is essential for system security, and I highly recommend this one.

Take it out of the box and plug it in. It’s that easy. It is user friendly and so far so good. I transferred over 100,000 photos the first week I had it.

Using this as a back-up drive. Very easy to use - just plugged it in and transferred files, no issues at all.

This drive is a really nice size for the large capacity. Transfer speeds are fast, and it doesn't require external power (like my last WD external drive of this size). Very happy with my purchase.

It's as small as my hand, portable, and quite easy to put data on for storage. No complaints here. Great product.

Great storage capacity. The largest I could find. Highly recommend it. Speed is excellent.

Excellent product and excellent service! I have bought several WD external hard drive up to now. This one has the largest capacity, and it works very well.

Great quality drive. Haven't had any issues or any worries with my data. Highly recommend

Easy to set up and support is great if you have questions.

I had purchased 3 of the 4tb from the prior generation this seems to be up to par yet had an extra terabyte. The HDD seems to perform just like it's predecessor, only time will tell if it can last as long.

love this External hard drive. I use it to upload all my videos so that I don't take up space on my PC.

Bought this passport to keep storage capacity on my desktop clear. I had a bit of a problem at first and thought that I would need to return it as it was not working, I finally figured it out and it works well for what I am using it for. Lots of storage capacity for the money.

I think I'm sticking with Western Digital for these mechanical hard drives. I just use them for back up but I've had 2 Seagate drives fail in the past month, whereas my WDs just keep on chugging along.

Scanning old photos and needing a great place to store them? This is perfect! My mom has tons of pictures from 80+years and now we can preserve the memories for generations to come!

WD has always been my to-go hard drive. Always dependable and reliable and I expect the same from this purchase. My favorite feature is the ability to password protect my data compared to most others.

This hard drive is great in all categories, lots of space for movies and pictures. I currently have my movie collection in it and using this as a media server on my computer using the plex app. Very satisfied.

Easy setup, fast data transfer and even the packaging makes for a good case.

We recently had all of our old video's digitized. With the size of the files and with not wanting to take up all of the space on home computer this was the best choice for us. Works great and fast.
