not too much noise, and running smoothly

Used for backup for iMac using OSX 10.9. Quick install. Placed Passport on aluminum stand, which appears to act as a heat sink. Runs cool and quiet. So far so good!

Just got it but I have another just like it and they work great
Garry Rowe (verified owner) –
I’ve had it for a few weeks, no issues or complaints, great price for what you get

Nice compact size & it just works right out of the box. My only concern is 5TB enough for what I bought it for, which is ripping ~2500 CDs to FLAC.
Javonte Haley (verified owner) –
Works as described for all file types.

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!!

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

This is a good drive for the money and has served me well in backing up all of my data.
Vivien Hammes (verified owner) –
I was looking for such an external hard drive for my video and photo editing. It is just what I need and I think it has a good quality/price ratio. It is light enough and small enough to be transported.
Edwina Gulgowski (verified owner) –
Portable easy to use and high capacity.
Delia Shields (verified owner) –
I purchased 2 of these drives. One of them simply stopped connecting to my computer within a couple months for no apparent reason. The second one became corrupted after about 6 months. If you value your data, don’t buy this drive.

I have been purchasing WD external hard drives for over 6 years now, and they have been great so far. It is lightweight and a bit smaller than the previous WD external hard drive for Mac. Instead of having two cables, for USB and USB-C, there is only one cable and it has a USB to USB-C adapter. This saves space from having an extra cable. Captured in the photos attached.

I like this. Have not used it much yet. But I hate the proprietary plug on the HDD itself. Make sure you do not lose this cable or you will have to order specifically for this one. You cannot replace this with any cable from any computer shop.

Simple. Easy to use. Comes with encryption and password software. One cord for both connectivity and power. Small and portable. Somewhat misrperesented as the total memory available is closer to 3.6 TB and not the full 4TB as advertised.

I’ve been buying these WD Passport drives from B & H for years & this one is the best so far. I’m amazed by the speed compared to the others, it’s so much faster. This new version is also a bit smaller in physical size & easier to carry. Great drive. Very happy.

During this past year I have purchased 6 of these drives, as I have previously found them to function properly. Of those 6, only 2 have functioned properly. Of the last 2 purchased, one crashed the computer immediately when I tried to download images. The second one appeared to function properly for 4 days of image downloads, and on the 5th day none of the files could be seen or accessed. I was on a wilderness trip to remote Alaska to photograph Grizzly bears and was now without any means to download my images. Now that I am back home, I hope those images on the second drive can be recovered. It seems these external hard drives are now being poorly made and without adequate quality control. My recommendation is DO NOT BUY the WD Passport.

Plug into macbook pro and you’re ready!

Using this to back up image files. Very small footprint on my desk. About size of deck of cards but thinner. Only using the USB 2.0 with it but that is fast enough for what I do. Had it only couple weeks and is working fine. Was plug and play with my Imac. Probably get a few more in near future.

I heard great things about WD hard drives and had an older 1TB version that has lasted 5 years without any issues. I’ve only had this hard drive for a couple months but so far, I haven’t had any issues with it either.
