Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this for extra storage and back up for my ultra book. I couldn’t be happier. This is fast and runs cool. It’s also very small. Outstanding build quality and looks. Love it

My WD passport external HD is just what I need to backup my photos and document files, and it has a downloadable application that can be set to update on a scheduled cycle. After all of the work and time invested in creating and documenting, My passport gives me added protection, lots of storage, and peace of mind.

Great portable HD. Solid bang-for-your-buck. Quick setup.

I’ve bought well over 50 of these and they’re the best! So reliable and consistent. Love that Best Buy has them and they’re easy to grab day of if I need to!

Really like the large 4TB size external drive for storing and protecting my important records and family pictures. The WD drive also includes some free excellent software for things like setting up password protection for the drive, etc. Very well made drive and comes with all the necessary information and the cable for getting up and running quickly. It works perfectly in my Windows 10 ASUS computer.

Easy to use. Plenty of room for backups. Small and light-weight.

Excellent product, looks nice too, small and compact. Priced better than SSD. You only need HD for data and movies, you would benefit more from SSD if storing programs.

Great product! Easy to use, fast, plenty of storage capacity. Very good price, too!

This external hard drive is great! I got it on sale for a decent price and it has lasted me forever, it’s very easy to set up

Full discloser, it's been several years since I researched external hard drives. When I found this product I had to ask an employee if it truly is this much storage in such a small transportable case. Once at home I was able to easily set it up with a couple partitions with time machine also set up so our MacBook Air. We now had 16x more storage space (4T) for photos, videos, backups, etc.

I had to put 16 days of video on this. I film 250 gigabytes a days. Worked quick and easy, file transfer was a snap. Product feels very sturdy and like it is built to last. Not a single problem with it.

Bought this for my wife for backup, easy to use and plenty of space for backup now and expansion for future

Lots of storage per dollar. I like that it's USB 3.0. Good for laptop backups. On a lark, I tried running an audio editor on a file residing on this device, and it didn't go well. No surprise there. I also tried using it to store and stream back off-the-air TV with an HD HomeRun and it works fine, to my delight.

4 TB of storage at this price is a great price for any disk. This storage disk is a little nicer than average imo. Compact, quiet, fast with type C connection. I'd buy it again.

Very easy to use and transfer documents too. Small enough to travel with and doesn't take up a lot of space in your bag and on your workspace.

I needed more room for photos and videos. Western Digital is one of the biggest names in HDs and this doesn't disappoint. Very compact design and a pretty good price. Though it is a little bit more, this version (the Ultra) comes with a USB-C cable (and a USB adapter). The transfer rate is extremely fast with USB-C so definitely worth the few extra bucks.

Great product, no issues yet and runs quick enough for storage

Great product works well with music server. Would recomend to anyone for any purpose have older one on laptop for extea capacity

Great HDD for storing a variety of data. I would have preferred an SSD but ended up buying this due to its excellent price. You can't beat the price vs benefit with this product

I can't speak to its longevity, since I only use these to archive data and then it gets locked away. But the size, capacity, and price are great. And not needing an external power supply is one of the main benefits in my opinion.
