High capacity portable hard drive, works well, and good quality

I have several of these drives that i have used for backing things up and they have all continued to work great with no issues. I haven't loved the cost of them going up exponentially but it does the job. I have not used it outside of just my home to test if it is rugged or not but for a home office and backing files up, it has been good.

Affordable external drive that allows me to store and back up my photographs. The size and durability allow for me to keep it handy while traveling.

I've had one of these for a number of years, and I just bought another to dedicate to storing tutorials and pictures. The device does some with a disc for installing software, but that isn't necessary to use the drive and load tons of data for safe keeping. The price is good, and My Passport seems to work a little more reliably than any other storage system I've had in the past. Add to that its compact size and its really hard to beat. I'm not sure that there is a better option for home use.

I purchased this same brand but a smaller TB size and it took me 2 years to fill up with shirt designs....this one shipped fast and is still a perfect size to throw in my purse to travel with!

These are great drives. I have 2 or 3 of them, and I got one for my mother. They've all been stable, no loss of data. One is the external drive for my PS5, and it's held up just fine. Can't ask for more than that, especially at the price point.

I use this to increase the storage for my PS4. It was totally plug and play. Up and running in under a minute. I haven't experienced any lag when playing games downloaded to this. Excellent product. Getting another for my laptop

After reading other reviews, I chose this to replace my older (and much larger) WD 3TB drive that seemed to be lagging. This drive was easy to set up and partition into 3TB backup/1TB storage. So far it’s performing extremely well.

It's lightweight and very portable. Plenty of room for my photography.

I was overall satisfied, but if you are playing on a laptop and not going to be playing video games (or whatever you do) on a solid tabletop I would definitely worry about the cord or to be more careful with it. I think if your looking for a good terabyte though it is very good by the way I use this terabyte for downloading video games and I have not yet to have noticed it taking long to load (I’ve had it for about 6-7 months) so as I know with some terabytes do. So yes very good and definitely recommend.

Over the past decade, I've been partial to WD products whenever I needed external storage and/or back-up for my computer, particularly their My Passport external drives, because of their ergonomic design, ease of use, and product reliability. Therefore, when I needed another external hard drive recently, I bought this 4TB drive without hesitation. I've been extremely pleased with the performance of this drive and it is very easy to use as always. As a bonus, the blue top plate with the diagonal groves looks attractive and provides a positive grip when handling the drive. This was on sale at Best Buy when I bought it, making it an even sweeter deal.

I have three of the Passport externals and really like them. I love the small size. They come in a variety of capacities. They are the best value in my opinion for an affordable external storage method.

Lots of storage at a good price. Easy to set up. Works well. I am glad I bought this one. It is a convenient size as well.

Very small considering the storage size. I like this external as it does not need to be connected to Power separately, just a USB and you are set. High capacity, small size for a good price.

A solid compact large capacity storage solution built by a reliable name in the hard drive industry. Speed is no where near solid state drives but its shames them in capacity. I have always been a fan of western Digital drive and will continue to use them. they are shock resistant (believe me I know, I'm pretty clumsy) and I rarely have any bad sectors on their drive even after years of use. Probably should have bought the 5GB drive for a few dollars more but 4GB is more than enough capacity for my needs at this time and I saved a few bucks. You can't go wrong with Western Digital drives!

Good value. 4TB is a lot of storage space. Easy to use. Plugged in the USB and the drive was recognized immediately.

It works fine and was reasonably priced. Easy to use - plug it in and you’re good to go.

This product is very easy to use; It holds a lot of data and is small enough to move from room to room comfortable. I also love the color.

The WD-My Passport 4TB External Drive was purchased to hold mostly my pictures and documents that were clogging up my desk computer. It works as expected and at a good price point. I like that it had color choices, because I like to color code things! It is just the right size: compact, but not so small that it would get lost easily. Best Buy is easy to order from and shipping is fast.

I am pleasantly surprised with my little portable hard Drive. It's very convenient to carry it with me. It works great!
