This is my 5th WD External HD. I have not had any issues with any of them. Knock on wood. The last one I bought was the Element series. The Passport seems to have a better build quality to it.

In a blink of an eye it was at my door. My new WD 3TB My Passport Ultra had sleek packaging and easy directions to set up. All I did was reformat it for my apple which was a snap. Although I have not yet used it my children have been and say its the best, in my house we call it Blue. Thanks guys!

Works great for pc backups and file transfers. Lots of space to fit every digital thing you own.

I use it to backup short film footage. It’s small and was cheap. I think it was good value, but only time will tell. The chord connection does not seem to be to sturdy.

I use this hard drive to back up files and it works very efficiently. It’s easy to set up and it’s small size makes it easy to transport as well as not taking up much space on my table. It’s well built, not flimsy and transports easily. There is nothing about this product that I would consider a drawback and would highly recommend it.

This hard drive is a good buy for the money. It works well, has a nice design and is very small. I am satisfied with this drive for what it’s being used for, but there is one issue I have with it.The main problem I have with this hard drive is the time it takes to become ready when it comes out of sleep or stand-by mode. Given this is a bus powered hard drive, it enters sleep mode after minutes of inactivity. I have a smiliar drive, the Western Digital Elements 1TB drive, and whenever it enters sleep mode it only takes 4-6 seconds to become ready. With this drive, WD Passport Ultra, it takes anywhere from 15-20 seconds. This issue is problematic for me since I need quick access to my files. It is not a serious issue, but it can get frustrating over time.Other than that problem, the drive performs nicely. The transfer speed via USB 3.0 is good (anywhere from 40-80MBps) and its size is great.

As usual from B&H the drive arrive quickly and works perfectly. As well if not better then advertised. I’ve been using it continually since it arrived and it hasn’t missed beat.

This is a good value portable external drive that has a lots of storage space. I’m happy with it’s performance, and I own now about 5 WD ex drives and 4 of those are these portables that are USB 3.0 and simple and easy to use. I have 2 that are specifically for a Mac (just means there’s software that comes with it for Mac security and utilities) and all of them have worked well. That’s why, I went with WD Passport again. I use this drive with a Macbook Air mainly and have it partitioned into 3 drives. One for photo library for Lightroom and another for videos & projects and the last, largest partition for all the stuff I always wanted to have with me all on one drive. My backup drives are not on this HD. I haven’t had any problems so far – but I don’t do heavy video work with this ‘light’ setup – obviously – but it works well. I’m not sure how this drive is actually divided inside the case – I’m guessing there are 2 x 2TB drives inside the enclosure. For that reason, I divided the drive into partitions in those multiples. I would like to see – if possible – for these small portable drives to have two USB 3.0 connections for pass-through connectivity so I could daisy-chain a few of drives. That would be ideal. I have to use a hub for that. My rating is 4 1/2 stars – for value, reliability and storage space and no required additional AC power. Build quality for case is plastic, not fast internal drives, just one connectivity, USB 3.0 so I take off a 1/2 star.
Lulu Leffler (verified owner) –
Fast, easy to set up and use, and compact. Would give it 5 stars if you could do a system image backup, but not able with the software provided.

I have owned several WD Passport portable hard drives, and they continue to get faster and hold more data within the same size chassis. I would highly recommend this hard drive to any and all computer users. Perfect for data transfer, backup, or extending the storage on your system.

Good product from B&H. They get five stars for Great customer service. The drive is sturdy and didn’t require reformatting for my MacBook Air.

Works perfectly. Small. Have others, never a problem
Guy Schultz (verified owner) –
Solid unit works fine. Wish it was a bit smaller in size to make it more portable and less heavy. Otherwise, it is very good.
Raegan Steuber (verified owner) –
Works fine. Not as fast as I originally anticipated but seems reliable.
