Great product for the price. Acronis software for back up was unexpectedly good. Nice user interface. Several options for backup and other tools for maintenance. Very satisfied with this purchase. I needed a new external hard drive to replace my Toshiba. So far I’m very please with this Western Digital product.

This HDD is fast. I tried to copy/past 5.4GB archive file from my LenovoThinkPad e550 (16GB RAM DDR3 / Intel core i7 5500 CPU @ 2.40 GH X 2 / HDD 1TB ext4 file system) to this WD 5TB My Passport HDD. Process needed 1 minute & 9 seconds. The same process needed 14 seconds when I repeat it with Sansung SSD SATA3 2.5 inch 870 EVO connected to my laptop externally via Orico SATA3 external enclosure. In both cases I connected externally located disk to built-in USB 3.0 port of my Lenovo. I think it is excellent speed for HDD with data transfer speed of 5Gib/sec to complete copy/past of 5.4GB file over 1 minute & 9 seconds. Combining this with it’s size (5TB) it’s price (109$) is cheep !

I put all my cherished file on it, and now I want to get them out, it never works. They’re stuck on it. It makes me so sad. I just wanted to save my files from a computer to another….now I am doomed to imagine them on a poor little box. All my memories.

I needed to back-up and copy all of my karaoke CD+G’s, presently I own 200+ and over 3,500 songs. More storage space than I’ll ever need to use. Excellent product. Compact size put Super Storage.

WD 5TB My Passport for Mac USB 3.0 External Hard Drive. Easy install. Handles my 2 and 3Gb photo files quickly, along with other file transfers. It allows to use my thunderbolt port and speed to my advantage. Nothing is really fast enough for me but its a reasonable start at a reasonable cost with reliability.

Purchased this for my wife and she loves it. Easy to use and plenty of storage space. She needed a hard drive to be able to back up her Youtube videos. would definitely recommend. As always great price and fast shipping from B&H.

Its a good drive if you are not looking for performance. I bought the drive specifically for mailing it with data and speed was not a big concern for me so I am happy. I certainly would not recommend it as photo storage or any other media storage with regular access.

We used this drive to capture video from multiple tape formats. The drive was formatted properly out of the box and performed perfectly.

I have several of these now for my family – they work great for Mac Time Machine backups, and last a long time (I’ve never had one fail over all the years, 5+). Nice looking, light, portable, and fast. Cost effective solutions that ensure everyone keeps their backups up-to-date.

Excellent Quality, I prefer WD vs Seagate. Use to back-up numerous photos. Good Price. Quick delivery.
Mellie Cruickshank (verified owner) –
I just use a few of these to back up my RAW footage from a recent production. I haven’t used them as working drives. The size is great! …even with the ‘Nomad Rugged Hard Case’. They fit nicely in an offsite safe. Large storage!

Use this for Time Machine Backup, formatted as APFS.
