Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very compact and easy to transport Great capacitive. All combined with WD warranty and reliability. Great price

True WD reliability. I've been using this 5TB portable hard drive to back up all my files before upgrading my Windows 10 gaming desktop to Windows 11. The backup worked flawlessly. No issues. I'm pleased with this external hard drive.

Great for temporary storage of files. I use this one as an external for my PS4

Great price, easy to use, a powerhouse in a small case.

Great back up storage! very reliable, small, fast and super silent.

I purchased this because my last external drive malfunctioned and I could no longer access my files. I was able to restore a good majority of the files. I connected it to my macbook pro and formatted it to store files as well as be used for Time Machine. So far, so good. If you don't know about formatting, you might want to go ahead and get an external drive that is pre-formatted for macs to save you the extra steps.

What an improvement over the disk technology. This replaced a 1T disk backup. It took very little time to move the 1T to the 5T now I have plenty of storage and the backup program works again - much faster.

I like the WD My Passport portable storage. I have two of them now. My preference has been to keep files and photos in local storage devices as opposed to saving them online.

I've been a WD user for years, and my 1TB was nearly full, so I went hunting for more storage space and found this 5TB one. I had it shipped to me but it got damaged in the mail and kept throwing up malfunction notices on the computer. Took the damaged one to Best Buy directly and they changed it out for a new one with no muss or fuss. The new one functions beautifully, and is only a few millimeters thicker than my 1TB external.

Easy to use and excited to have this much space to use on a hard drive.

It's been about a month and so far I like it. Priced right, pretty compact, lots of space and decent speed.

Slim and compact 5TB Hard Drive for a nice price. Plenty of room to backup files off my laptop.

This is a great backup drive for the Mac. I had an issue with a different brand portable drive that was originally a PC formatted drive that I reformatted for Mac. I choose this drive because it had good reviews and was pre-formatted for Mac. The drive is large enough for what I needed and was a fairly small enclosure. I really liked the USB-C connection. My Mac has USB 2.0 and 3.0, it worked great with my computer.

compact and easy to use. good amount of storage. attractive and travels well.

WD Passport External Hard Drives are lifesavers if you keep a library's worth of digital media. Whether films, magazine articles, or e-books, you won't have to rent space at those storage centers if you have a few of these. The WD Passports hold less information than the WD My Book, but the Passports are smaller and easier to handle. The 5 TB Passport shown here can easily hold about 500 Hi-Def films.

Perfect size for my cluttered desk with plenty of storage!

Works great. Holds big files because it's a big drive.

This is best thing since sliced bread. It is small and easy to carry. I can put all my information on it and have it with me all the time. I should have purchased this a long time ago. I needed to store some old files on it and it worked perfectly. The salesman was over whelmed with customers but took the time to help me and explain the different items. He knew his job!

Excellent and reliable hard drive. This is the second time that I have purchased this portable hard drive.

I do a lot of editing, so I need a vast amount of storage. This 5TB got the job done for my latest project. Plenty of extra room left over for the next edit down the road. My only complaint is that it does see a noticeable slowdown when half of its storage was used. However, since its not an SSD that's to be expected. For the price, definitely worth the buy.
