Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently picked up an external hard drive from Best Buy, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my workflow. Setup was instant — just plug it in and you’re good to go. I’ve been using it for everything from video projects to photo storage, and the transfer speeds are super fast, even with large files. It’s compact enough to travel with but still feels durable and well-built. I especially appreciate the peace of mind knowing my files are backed up and secure. Whether you’re a content creator, student, or just someone who needs extra space, this drive is a solid investment. Highly recommend for anyone who values speed, reliability, and simplicity!

Passport external hard drives always work great with easy access and quick uploads. They are the only brand I have purchased and used for years. Highly recommend.

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

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.

Very fast compared to the Seagate I replaced this with. 4T of space and backing up files in a snap priceless. I didn't do an analysis of how fast it was copying files all I know is it took less than 30 seconds to copy an entire folder of stuff I needed to backup.

I can store at lot information, ease to use and convenient to store information.

Love the storage upload speed and large file storage capabilities. Great storage device Very compact size and very Easy to use … Thanks

I needed a lot of space with all the video and pictures I create. I saw this 4TB and had to try it. So far it has been a very good hard drive to me, compact, and fits easy in my backpack side pocket. Load and upload speeds are fantastic too.

I purchased this hard drive for my wife to match her keyboard. I was very pleased with the value that I received for this product. In addition, the password protection and data encryption were also deciding factors for my purchase. My wife hasn't used it yet, but she has plenty of space once she does. I would be more than happy to purchase another one if she needs it down the road. I was so pleased with my purchase that I purchased a different hard drive for myself later in the day. I'll be doing that review shortly. As always, the curbside pickup experience was excellent. On a side note, I do not remember hard drives being this small. This is typical in today's society. Everything is getting more compact. I do like the small size of the hard drive as it takes up very little space.

Great capacity, fast, easy to set up and backup PC's. No issue with connecting. This model is also metal and looks good and very portable. Many brands and options out there but this one worked great for us.

Super fast and easily portable usb external drive with tons of space. I am using this to expand my surface storage and leave it docked and have had no issues at all. It's fast and quiet, plus I am a fan of WD

Small, fast and large capacity. I love it. Comes with connection USB-C cord.

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.

Purchased about a month ago, and find that it is a fast, reliable and easy to use device. I like that it has interchangeable plugs for usb and usb-c. Would highly recommend.

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

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.

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.

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

It's big and fast. Easy to program and navigate. Runs quiet and cool.

Nice and compact backup device. Easy to use, simple operation, and relative fast transfer speed
