Customer Ratings & Reviews

A trusted brand for external storage. I've been using a 500GB HDD for many years and it was time to upgrade so I decided to go with this 5TB HDD. I copied all the contents of my old drive to this new one and only use this drive as my main backup. I like its compact size and that it fits in the same storage case that I was using so I didn't need to purchase a new case. The only thing I don't like is the proprietary USB cable, my old one was a micro USB, these should all just be the standard USB-C without having to pay extra for that feature.

External hard drive - I use this to store all of my photos in my files so that nothing is saved on my computer and it works perfect for me

Light and portable enough for traveling making my media available anywhere and anytime. Read and write speed is pretty good considering for the price.

This is a perfect HDD portable hard drive for storing multiple movies and large files. I actually have five of them now. I am convinced that the WD my passport is superior to the Seagate portable hdd.

excellent off line portable storage. Very fast data transfer! Easy to setup and access. Highly recommend as a portable backup solution!

Huge amount of storage. Does the job. Easy connect and use. Nice portable size. Great for the price.

Replaced by 1TB Seagate Portable Hard Drive with this 5TB Western Digital and not only is the extra space amazing for the price but the speeds are so much better too! I thought I was going to keep my 1TB Seagate as a backup but ended up giving it to my brother and buying another 1TB WD version of this model as my backup instead

Purchased as a backup for a compilation of other backups. It's a decent price for 5TB, at least it was on sale anyway. Nothing I can really say about speeds as I'm not really using it on the regular, just for massive backups which are already going to take a long time to process (an overnight job for hundreds of thousands of files). This is probably my 4th WD My Passport, and so far all have functioned great and lasted a while. They feel pretty sturdy and don't slide around on the desk. I'll probably pick up 1 or 2 more for secondary backups.

Love this. I have a small business that requires me to store a huge amount of high quality pictures. This external hard drive is very easy to use. I am able to break everything down into categories so that I can find what I need quickly. Best part is that if my computer crashes I won't lose my stuff. My computer also runs a lot faster without all those pictures taking up space.

This works perfect as a external back up. 5TB is a lot of space and not easy to fill up anytime soon. I only wish they put the blinking light on the other end from the cable connection so you can hide the cable and only see the light. Easy to use, plug it in and looky there, a new drive letter in your pc or mac! (However, don't put it in your shirt external breast pocket else it may suffer the same fate as many cell phones have.)

Very satisfied with this drive. This thing is affordable and it's got a ton of space and is very easy to slip in my backpack for trips where I'll need to backup a lot of footage.

This is a great little unit. I use it for external storage for my Chromebook. I also have a Western Digital 4 TB EasyStore drive and 10 TB EasyStore drive, which I have been using for over a year. There is 1 drawback for Chromebook users. Even though this a a "Works with Chromebook" certified item, password protection & encryption ONLY work with Windows...they will not work with Chrome OS. Other than that, I'm very satisfied with it and its portability and speed.

Great product, fast processor for backing up photos & videos A+++++

Purchased to use as backup for my laptop files. Size, price, quality and ease of use were boxes on my checklist and this product checked all my boxes. I would recommend.

Really easy to set up and use on the go. Definitely a great deal and good reliability.

Exactly what I needed! Small, lightweight and convenient to use

Works great and is easy to use. Tons of storage space.

I have several of the external hard drives and have never had any issues.

My Passport 5TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black ~ small, compact, and 5 TBs! Great external hard drive for the price
