Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ease of operation and set up. Thin and light as an external portable hard drive should be.

I needed a new backup drive. This one works great, has a lot of storage space for the price

Easy to use, fast and convenient. More than enough storage for my needs and a good price.

Bought 3 of them on sale. Easy to use, look good, and well made. What more could you want?

Although external hard drives are not that exciting, this one is easy to use and reliable.

It is hard to believe the size of the product for the amount of storage. I am an older user, and I remember when a terabyte required a lot of room for substantial hardware. This is the size of a makeup compact (almost). Unbelieveable. Priced very modest. Great product.

Use the drive to back up my photos. Lots of room and very portable; I like the idea I can take it with me and back up my photos in the field. It is my personal "cloud".

this item is so easy to use , plug and play. large hard drive and quiet. highly recommend

I purchased this item with our HP Envy and I'm happy with it. Compact and easy to use.

I have always relied on the passport hard disk. It's really fast and it's easy to use in both Mac and Windows environment. It's very compact and handy, easy to carry.

Bought this primarily to use as an Xbox One hard drive. Best Buy sells this cheaper than the newer USB 3.0 exclusive model that WD came out with this year. If you look at the tech specs and read/write speeds between the two there is no difference so there is really no need to buy the new version for more money. This drive is literally the equivalent of the new model. I find that it is fast and responsive and the Xbox One picked it up immediately and formatted it (don't fall victim to paying extra money for the "special" Xbox Seagate drives. The Xbox One can auto detect and format this in seconds). I do believe this is slightly faster on loading screens than the on-board Xbox One hard drive but the difference is somewhat negligible. This is a cheap option to increase storage space if like me you have the older 500GB Xbox One. I haven't tested this on a PC so I cannot speak to that.

Simple easy to use. Worked easily with my MAC and PC as a way to transfer a lot of data.

My back up plan for music involves putting over 3T of music (on an internal HD) on separate back up drives. Clouds take too long. If a single drive crashes, you lost it all. With 3 or 4 separate drives, like these little things, You only would lose 25 to 33%. Get it? Stored at a separate location.When on sale, as they often are, it's just a little more in cost. The WD Passport Ultra is fast and small.

I needed a hard drive with the right amount of storage, and I got it at a great price!

In today's world, where our devices are full of pictures, video clips, music, etc., the only practical way to backup our data is on an external drive. CD's and DVD's don't come close to having the capacity to save our growing collections of data (and PLEASE don't tell me you don't bother to backup your data!!). These drives are convenient and easy to use, they can be found in large enough sizes to handle nearly every need, and the prices are reasonable (and they go on sale fairly regularly). I have multiple external drives devoted to different purposes. They are great for backups, additional storage, and even a good way to share large amounts of data between devices. All of my external drives are the WD My Passport series of drives. They have been very dependable and affordable. If you are considering purchasing an external drive, I encourage you to consider the WD brand of products.

The WD Passport is so easy to use. I do not have geek abilities and so needed something easy. I plugged into my granddaughters laptop and downloaded all of her photos from her photography business and cleaned up her laptop so she could continue to use it. I have bought a couple more to use on my own computer and give to a friend to clean her computer of all her photos and videos. Works like a charm.

I use this drive for photos so I don't use up space on my PC. The drive is small but works well. It was very easy to install..just plug it in and pc recognizes it.

I can backup all of my files and pictures and make this hard drive my primary storage device this will allow me to save space on my computer. This hard drive also allows me to store both PC and Mac files. The best thing was that it was extremely affordable

Great backup program, and the drive size handles everything. Easy to setup and use.

I love it!!! It's easy to use. It works exactly how it's supposed to and very easy.
