This 5TB drive was purchased to replace a WD 2TB portal USB drive, which built-in encryption. The included USB Type-C to regular USB adapter is perfect, as it allows me to connect to my laptop using USB Type-C and my desktop using the converter/adapter. I use it both for storing files and for performing a full image backup of my desktop PC and Laptop. Great product!

Was afraid my new computer would not recognize my old external HD (has lots of old family pictures) so slaved old computer and old external HD to the new Passport Ultra and copied the photos, etc. over. Feel much more secure now about the family pix.

I love these, they are lite, they hold a ton of pictures, you can take them with you when you’re out. I cant say enough good things about these drives. I have a couple of them and never any issues. I use one for my main library catalog in lightroom, and another for the backup.

I’m using this drive for a back-up drive. I just got it from B&H and so far so good. The only thing is for such a small drive its a little noisy. Almost 3x’s the noise of my portable G-tech drive. But for the money what can you expect.

It is a small, high-speed, rugged disk and the adapter works very well for usb connectors. Ideal for Mac users. Es un disco pequeo, de alta velocidad, resistente y el adaptador funciona muy bien para conectores usb. Ideal para usuarios Mac.

My marketing system uses 34 computers. To keep our systems working properly we store and save essential files. These detached hard drive are a life saver. I’ve got four of them now, and they make my life easier. They have saved my butt many times. They make it easy to move files, from one machine to another.————-

Using this to back up video during location production. Heavier than I expected. Non deluxe enclosure, but who cares? Nice to have color coordinated pares for original and back-up.

Purchased a 2tb to go along with my 1tb I bought over a year ago – Perfect travel drive. Keeps everything backed up just fine.

I buy one of these each year to back up my photofiles–cumulatively–and each year I purchase twice the storage capacity for the same price as the year before. Can’t beat that!!!

I bought this hard drive to work as my time machine for my iMac. The drive is fast, pretty, small, and works almost perfectly. The one issue I have is that it will randomly disconnect when it is plugged straight into my iMac. This interrupts my backup and makes me worry about the integrity of the drive. After reading several reviews, forums, and other complaints I realized that this is a problem with how much power the drive is sucking from the computer. Apparently, the drive uses too much power when it is backing up large amounts of data. Since it is USB powered and there is a limit to how much power USB can provide the drive will shut down and disconnect. I read that many people have called WD to get a Y cable to connect to 2 USB ports. However, I found out that using a powered USB hub makes the drive work perfectly and not disconnect. Before, I could barely get my iMac to backup without the drive disconnecting. Now it never disconnects. WD knows about this issue but they refused to admit it unless you call them and ask for a Y cable. For that I have to only give them 4 stars.

Works great. Large capacity at a great price. Purchased to replace a crashed drive that was mostly backed up…I am thinking of getting another to insure ongoing, simultaneous backup.

Use this for my Xbox One. It just works great. Now I have 3TB of storage overall. The color even matches my Forza 6 blue bundle. USB powered…awesome. Sits behind the xbox. Can’t even see it. Hooking it up was crazy easy.

WD hard drives are the only drives that have never crashed on me, they start up quickly, and are always a value. A simple and rugged choice for backing up your work or using it to store files you will be working on.
