I had two of these drives fail, each less than 2 months after being put into service. Both were running smoothly, then after a restart of my system both produced the click of death and wouldn’t mount or present any available file system to be copied off or troubleshot. The drives were always on a desk, no drops of any kind, nor did they leave the house, ever. Maybe I got part of a bad run of production but I won’t use these again for any reason. Thank you B&H for your help with returning these!!

I have been purchasing the WD Passport drives for many years as external backup drives. They have never failed to work, even when I’ve pulled out out of the safe after 5 years of storage.

It’s not the fastest you can buy but a great value for the cost with lots of storage space.

The large capacity on the 5TB Passport is a win for image storage. There are some issues when the device is left connected to computer (in sleep mode) overnight. It seems to prefer being dismounted, before resuming work the next day. I was happy with it over all and bought another one.

It seems fine – my first external backup drive! Small, easy, and a great price.

I ordered for my son a WD 2TB My Passport USB 3.2 Gen 1 External Hard Drive (2019, Sky). I received it, he is using it and he is very happy with it. I have ordered many items from B&H and I have never been disappointed. Finding and ordering products from B&H is easy and delivery is quick. B&H is a great store.

I got this to be able to save a copy of my most important images offsite. It is great for this application. It seems smaller than my 1T WD Passports. It appears to be reliable (I always do a full scan and a full erase before using a new disk and it passed that OK). The speed is pretty good for a small rotational disk. The performance is adequate for archival backups. I wouldn’t use this for a working disk on my computer. I was so impressed I ordered another one.

Works great – moved terabytes of information to the 5TB

The drive is highly functional. However, it is very slow in response. Good drive to store large quantities of items that do not need to be accessed very quickly.

WD 5TB My Passport USB 3.2 Gen 1 External Hard Drive (2019, Black) Works perfectly for TimeMachine back up on MacMini -late 2014 OS10. Reformatted drive before using. Good price for just a little bit more memory.

They have come a long way with external hard drives. Just arrived so maybe too early to know if I’ll run into any issues down the line but I am very happy I have a way to store a large amount of photos and music off my mac without messing with TimeMachine. Easy to use right out of the box. Great service from B and H as always.
