Customer Ratings & Reviews

easy to use, install, configure, carry on, I like it

Pretty small and really good for carrying though if you plan on using it for a PS4-5 I'd suggest not moving them too much. I use it for carrying around so I have to use the original plastic container as a case for it.

External hard drive definitely exceeded my expectations for ease of use and storage space. I will definitely purchase another when needed

So far so good after using for about 1+ months. The device was an easy plug in and connect to the windows 7 backup for storing my files (don’t like using File History).

A great item. Works without a problem. Provides a safe, secure and reliable storage location for our material. Large capacity at a fantastic price. Will be picking up a few more for our program.

its good, 5- star rating, bought from Bestbuy store..

good works well, still in good condition months later

This little gem did the trick. It's slim profile requires extra attention so you don't lose it. I found the performance to be outstanding and the encryption feature never hurts. Best Buy had a great sale and I was able to get it at a great deal. You should replace your bulky shoe box with this deck of cards.

It's just a reliable storage device. I store all of my game captures and videos on it. I haven't had any issues with WD hard drives in the past and this is no different. You can also use it for backups too or whatever you want really.

Easy install, small footprint, great storage device for the price.

Thes drives are great for backing up pictures and other types of files. I have used these for years and are always a goto when someone asks me what to use for their personal storage.

So I was in the market for a new hard drive. Now a days, seems like I need a new 5tb every month. I had to grab this one up while I saw it on sale. I have other WD hard drives, and none of them have failed me yet (knock on wood). Very satisfied with my purchase, does exactly what I need it to do. Which is to hold and store my videos that I do for different clients.

Plug and play, simple and easy . Quick drive for my everyday files .

I specifically bought this USB drive for my xbox and have to say that this does the job really well. This drive is not only cheaper than the ones specifically designed for Xbox, but has a much better read/write, not to mention much cheaper and more space.

Good hard drive for the price. I was looking for low cost storage so wasn’t really concerned with speed.

Light portable hard drive, easy use and storage, good price.

Large storage to back up my entire computer in one placw

The My Passport WD 5 TB External USB 3.0 portable hard drive was purchased from Best Buy with an additional 2-year warranty. I purchase the additional Best Buy warranty for drives for peace of mind. However, this is my second WD 5TB external "My Passport" hard drive. I have found the first one so reliable that I've dedicated it as my transfer drive between my PCs and new Apple Mac Mini. I reformatted the drive from NTFS to exFAT so it is readable by both MAC computers and PCs. This new drive was reformatted into Apple's APFS platform so information on it can be backed up using Apple's Time Machine software. I store my 1 TB Lightroom catalog of 25,000 images on it because it is so reliable. This is a great drive that is reliable.

My husband purchased a new laptop, so we purchased a new Passport external drive to go with it. My husband is a physicist. Consequently, he downloads whole books full of information and equations. He also downloads videos to watch when the internet goes out. My Passport works perfectly well to store the downloads while having them ready to use when needed.

Got myself and daughter each one of these. Backed everything up and still have room.
