Customer Ratings & Reviews

my third WD portable hard drive. I like it. fast read and writing speed and low noise.

Never used it. Purchased as a gift, not needed. Younger son has one and loves it.

I'm really happy with this product as it delivers great quality at a very low cost

This is a decent performing (for a 2 1/2 inch USB hard drive) USB drive.

Haven't had any issues so far. Have only used a couple of times.

Easy to use and great upload and download speeds. Would recommend.

Good product for backing up of all files and documents.

Does what I expected it to do, no problems to date.

Love this drive. I wish it was chrome plated though.

Love the product. Kinda hate how big it is thoigh.

I have another smaller WD drive but bought the 3T drive to backup all my files with plenty of room to spare. Setup can be a little confusing if you read everything through, but learned from the smaller drive and things went easily. I had it set up for two backups a week, Sun and Thurs. Then a backup failed. In checking the drive, my computer isn't seeing it as an available drive. The light is on solid, no blinking. I now have to get in touch with WD and see what I can do with it, whether they will replace it or if it can be repaired.

This is an older model. Should be priced less than 100 dollars. I would buy the newer model

Purchased in hopes to backup family photos but...the hard drive was corrupt and to no avail would not connect to my pc or for the matter any pc. Sadly I did not make the deadline for return with Best Buy by missing the timeline by one day. Reached to the manufacturer who stated they have warranty but would not give me the time of day at all. Stating I must have damaged the product. And to go to the website for steps I could take to make my pc acknowledge it. Mind you I gracefully took it out of its box and placed it on my desk (knowing how touchy hard drives could be when I researched them and it never left that spot). Plus the steps they wanted me to take are not for the average joe...they are more for coders or IT specialist. So all in all I purchased a high dollar paper weight. . .yay me.

I do not recommend this product for backup purposes IF the unit is to be connected to a computer or other sources. The hard drive spins at 7200rpm constantly and will surely wear out prematurely. A better choice is the WD 3 1/2 inch with a green hard drive found in which spins only on demand-will last a long long long time..

Having a hard time understanding how to use and look at my pictures

Very Good Product and got for the better deal.....

would not format for mac use which I've done many times no problem with other drives. but it did allow me to check the drive and run first aid so 2 stars for that. Returning it, no doubt.

This is my 3rd WD - My Passport.It is easy to set up and stores lots of data. Very compact to make it portable.

Dont waste your time with this item. It crashed on me after just two months. Went back to Best BUy and they wouldnt do athing. Lost all my data

Wow this thing is much smaller than I expected. Kinda the size of a smart phone. Not like my previous bible-sized and shaped backup drives. Great price and works great so far (knock on wood.) I bought a case for it as well and it fits great! Highly recommend both the drive and get the case to protect it when transporting too.
