Customer Ratings & Reviews

The storage is very nice and transfer speeds are decent. It is pretty cheap as well. I always use WD My Passport and the only reason I need new ones is when I run out of space every few years, these have been very reliable for me in the past.

Excellent portable Hard Drive! Small size with extremely large capacity. Very good price, on sale at Best Buy! Plug and Play. Very easy Set Up. Transfer of photos or documents is seemless. I would definitely recommend this product as a backup drive!

Hesrt little external drives used for simple backups and drive images in case I lose an SSD. Quiet and simple design makes it simple to use. Haven't had it long enough to determine reliability. Just be sure and use a USB 3 or higher port!

Needed some serious storage device to back Up Thousands or Memories (Photos & Videos) off of my phone. Device is quick to respond and Easy to use with 5Tb to consolidate ALL my stuff in One Place. Decent Price for a Solid feeling storage device. Simply Plug & Use!

I have enjoyed this compact drive. It has storage space but doesn't take up too much while providing a good throughput. Affordable, portable and easy to use. I wish it did not require a proprietary cable, but then it would probably not have the throughput.

Bought this for my daughter for school as a back up to store all her files and big apps and it has helped with the performance of the computer taking the load off the main hard drive. She likes it because it is easy to use and it's portable.

Needed added storage space for my music, videos, etc on a light weight, portable storage to use with my laptops. This fit the bill; especially when comparing cost, physical and data storage size with other similar units.

I needed a nice-sized hard drive to store photography and videography files. It works on my mac with no problem and it isn't too big to carry around. No issues so far.

Great little unit. Comes as a Windows ready device, but made it a Mac OSX ready backup drive in minutes. Voila! My first WD backup drive was being replaced after 12 years of daily backups. Replaced because of age and basically because I needed more backup space.

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.

Had to upgrade my memory banks for the PlayStation 4 and this thing has come in clutch. Was able to download every game I've ever purchased and still have loads of space left. Highly recommend!

I really like the size and convenience of this drive. I does not require a separate power source. The fact that it holds 5TB I can put pictures from the last 30 years on it and have room to spare.

Recently I ran into the familiar problem of not enough storage on 3 computers, so I bought the Passport 5TB. Without doubt, this is the best investment I have made in many years of buying computers and accessories. The contains of 3 computers are now securely stored on the Passport, and it has plenty of storage space yet. Easy to use. Just plug it in and use as you would any flash drive or external USB connection. I have an old Passport that still works but is just too small, so I have retired it. Everything is stored in OneDrive on Windows 10, in iCloud, but more useful for me and for convenience is the 5TB External USB 3.0 portable hard drive. Thanks for quality!

This is a group product, it’s easy to use, it’s plug and play. I recommend this to anyone who needs to pick up their photos. The files or any documents has enough storage and so easy my mother could use it.

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.

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

I've owned many WD Passport drives (keep filling them up). Never had a problem with any; this one seems no different. Literally plug & play, the capacity is great, and the portability is an added bonus. Would definitely buy again.

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.)

Not sure I will ever fill this up! Easy to use. Good quality product.

Fantastic External Hard drive. 5 TB will give us plenty of storage space for years to come. Nice unit!!! 5☆
