Customer Ratings & Reviews

I foolishly had not backed up some critical files on my really old desktop which, of course, finally failed. This portable hard drive saved the day and made it possible to retrieve and transfer my files. Now, I also have something that I can use to take files from my desktop and use wherever I go.

I really love that it is light weight and small for the amount of data is stores. Whenever I go away I take my computer and have at least one Passport Ultra Portable Hard Drives with me.

I was looking for a storage drive which is excellent and for a good price. I was able to find this one.. :)

I use this to store media for in home streaming. The speeds and storage size are sufficient for me. It is small, and only requires USB power, which are big pluses if you are on the go.

Everybody who owns a computer needs to have one of these. I have 2 now, one for my personal files and one for my office files. Highly portable and easy to take with you should you need itl

My son does a lot of photography work and needed extra storage space to keep backups of his pics/videos. Even though he uses a Mac, it was no problem to reformat the drive for use with iOS.

WD never lets me down. I like how it is very slim and gets the job done by saving all my data. Plus, the sleek and slim design make sit not noticeable. I love this and I will get it again

Salesman was great very helpful.. Appliance I bought will work great for my needs....overall good expericnce

Just what I needed and works great, my laptop recognizes it immediately and transfers over files very quickly. No complaints and it is very easy to carry around due to its small size.

I use this for an external hard drive for added materials as well as a place to store a backup for my 2 in 1 Surface 3. It has been a great addition and works as easy as WD says it will.

My computer was loaded down with over 600 gb of videos, the 1 tb passport is just what I needed. The usb 3.0 is very fast with my laptop and compatible with my older desktop usb 2.0.

Works well for storing some of my older data. Was able to free up tons of extra space on my primary drive. Was fast, easy to setup and tons cheaper than adding another internal drive.

Excellent build quality, fast upload/download speeds and with a decent price this external drive is a 4/5.

Basic, straightforward extra removable storage. I didn't use any of the included software -- basically, I just needed extra file storage and this is a no-nonsense way to get extra space.

Nice backup device for my laptop. The enclosed software automatically backs up the files to my laptop without me having to do anything. It runs automatically in the background. Very slick

I had no problems installing this hard drive and the backup runs seamlessly in the background. I have checked periodically to make sure it's backing up properly and so far it is perfect.

I usually download my photographs to dual external hard drives. I was going on a trip to Europe and this hard drive is small with a large capacity. Ease of use was also a consideration.

It's quite, USB3 makes it very fast and a lot of storage for the money. I used it to clean up my laptop drive. I can take files form one computer to another and have my files backed up.

I usedd this to transfer data to repair computer that got damaged by forced Windows 10 download debacle (thanks!). It is a fine storage device and serves the purpose at agreat price.

Western Digital external hard drives (desktop or portable) are much more reliable and resilient than other external hard drives, and this price was a good one. Easy to order and pick up.
