Easy to use, small , yet holds 5 GB of files. Great for an additional extra drive. Plug and play.

I have several My Passport external hard drives and never had any problems with them. I feel they are very reliable. I love the red as well.

I purchased this on December 15 to later to return but my folders keep on disappearing and i have to plug it back in. Change setting on my mac so nothing sleeps, changed cords installed Imac Big Sur, same issue. If I could return it I would. Terrible

Easy to use, reasonably priced. Considered an SSD but this drive meets my needs for backup with considerably less cost

Had an extended trip to Australia and purchased this to backup my laptop hard drive. Performed wonderfully and made the trip and shooting much more joyful. Had a bad experience recently with another manufacturer but the Western Digitals keep going without a hitch.

Received three of these to use as a backup drive for three SSD I have. One stopped working after only 2 months. Glad they were only backups.

I ordered 3 of these external hard drives to do a rotation back up for my computer. Of the 3 only one worked. This is not due to any fault of B&H. They came sealed from the manufacturer. I am a little worried about the drives themselves 2 out of 3 failed drives, that would not even show up on the computer when plugged in. B&H was wonderful. They refunded my money and gave me a paid mail for return. I couldn’t wait for a reorder as I needed them right away. B&H was very helpful and had me off the phone in a short period of time.

too slow for use as an editing drive, but works fine for archive.

Had a WD My Book that I was using for a Time Machine Backup. It had taken a couple of tumbles and I felt it was time to replace it. This is a lot smaller than the My Book. Decent transfer rate for the price. Would buy again

It completely died one month after buying it. WD does have a warranty but good luck trying to navigate their website. It took me hours to get to someone (and then a lot of mansplaining until the customer support guy had to admit that the drive was dead) and finally I got him to accept the return. It then took 4 months for them to send me a new one! Honestly not worth the hassle. I’ll be buying from another company from now on. Wonder how long the replacement is going to last?

This is about my tenth passport drive- I keep adding more over time as the capacity increases. Bus powered makes them perfect for backing up newly downloaded photos from a laptop while on location
Maynard Hansen (verified owner) –
Got it for external storage for my PS5. Small with lots of space at a great price, plus dealing with B&H it came fast and even more important I got to save the tax with my Payboo card!

-1st one was working fine. Formatted it to get rid of the 100% USELESS data mining software on it. So far so good. -2nd says Read Only/Write Protected. What?! The useless software says I HAVE TO install a 3rd party software on it! Riiiight! Some wasted time on Win/WD forums later turns out it should be error checked first, and you can remove the attribute in DISKPART after. Win10 says the drive has errors. Needs repair. This is NOT a new thing. Seen reports from 2017. What WD have done to fix the problem and ensure their customers can use their products? Nothing. They mass produce it and hope some will work. Now off to drive an hour so I can send this paperweight back and wait till the next is here and hope it works. Make sure you buy it weeks before you need it.
