Customer Ratings & Reviews

My daughter had a last-minute emergency where she needed more disk space, and this was the perfect fit. The solid state drive allows for faster data retrieval, and the physical size is perfect for both use and travel. The price was perfect for the size as well.

I lost all my documents and pictures when I could no longer charge my old laptop. I kept taking it for granted and putting it off, but never backed them up to an external device. Now that I’ve replaced my old laptop, I wanted to ensure I had a vault for my pictures and documents. I was able to recover some pictures from Facebook, texts, and emails, but I had to spend a lot of time searching through ones I wanted to keep. This product gives me more than enough space, is compact, and easy to use.

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

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.

Large amount of storage and portable that I can transfer/use files on other computers without worry - can have EVERYTHING on this including business and personal items. I can also access if necessary from anyone who has a computer handy. Color was "just what Best Buy had on the shelf" when I needed it.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Holds alot of my dads work files that he needs. Connects great with my computer and is very easy to work.

Great product, light weight& very quiet .4 T storage is a great size for a small portable HD . I love it, and can store all my music files and can be access very quickly.

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.

My old portable hard drive broke, so I bought this one. This portable hard drive is easy to use and has more space than my previous one. I like that it is slim, and not bulky.

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

Fast, compact drive. Works great. Only complaint is that it doesn't come with a USB-C adapter, but it says that in the description.

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!
