I really like this HD. I use it for back up for my photography. I like the size because it easily fits into my small fire proof safe. It’s not super fast, but fad enough for backup purposes. So far it’s been very reliable. As usual BH had great prices and fast delivery.

Well, I needed an external HDD and I wanted one with a good TB to dollar value. Well, B&H had this on sale under $100 and I couldn’t resist. First of all, it is very portable for the storage size and the USB 3.2 connection made file transfers quick. It was already formatted for NTFS so no issues with my Windows 10 laptop. However, if you have a Mac, you will need to format it for FAT32. The drive is actually quiet. I haven’t had any issues with WD HDDs so I am confident of its durability. I can’t say the same with Seagate external HDDs. This is a good way to archive files. Just remember to remove it correctly from your machine and don’t mistreat it. For the price, it was well worth buying.

Look no further if your looking for a dependable, portable, non expensive alternative of acquiring more space for your laptop on the go! Lightweight, fast & easy as 1,2,3 to step up! it practically sets up after you connect it via usb. A true pleasure to have found such an item with a dependable brand (Western Digital).

Great product for the price. Acronis software for back up was unexpectedly good. Nice user interface. Several options for backup and other tools for maintenance. Very satisfied with this purchase. I needed a new external hard drive to replace my Toshiba. So far I’m very please with this Western Digital product.

It’s fast and it’s portable. It makes a lot of clicking, which is expected for a non-SSD. I use it to backup my Mac.

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.

This external drive is exactly as advertised. It came quickly and very easy to set up and use. I returned one that did not work on my Mac and it was very easy to return and get my refund. B&H is a very good company to order from.

I bought this to use as a redundant data backup. The USB 3.0 transfer speed is great and is a great value at only $80 for 1 TB. I also made use of the password protection for the drive which works immediately upon the drive being plugged in.

Started transferring files right out of the box. It’s smaller than other external hard drives that I’ve had and the USB 3.0 is FAST!
William Tromp (verified owner) –
I need to have storage when I’m on set, and this drive provides that. Easy enough to bring a laptop with me, and plug the guy in for a quick footage dump. 4TB might have been a lot, but it’s better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

These Western Digital hard drives work really well. My hard drive came with a faulty cable however I reached out to B&H Customer Service and they quickly sent me a replacement cable at no charge. I would buy the same hard drive again.

This HDD is fast. I tried to copy/past 5.4GB archive file from my LenovoThinkPad e550 (16GB RAM DDR3 / Intel core i7 5500 CPU @ 2.40 GH X 2 / HDD 1TB ext4 file system) to this WD 5TB My Passport HDD. Process needed 1 minute & 9 seconds. The same process needed 14 seconds when I repeat it with Sansung SSD SATA3 2.5 inch 870 EVO connected to my laptop externally via Orico SATA3 external enclosure. In both cases I connected externally located disk to built-in USB 3.0 port of my Lenovo. I think it is excellent speed for HDD with data transfer speed of 5Gib/sec to complete copy/past of 5.4GB file over 1 minute & 9 seconds. Combining this with it’s size (5TB) it’s price (109$) is cheep !

I figured I would try the white colored WD on for size, and it fits! I love being able to color code the WD drives so I can easily identify which one I have used for certain files. I love that I can plug this in, and it works flawless just like all my other WD drives! The drive is really fast, even when copying from another WD drive! It is small in size and fits in my pocket whenever I need to get up and go. Thank you for offering this great product! Downside…I am tempted to get one of every color!

I use this as one of the backups for my photos.

This failed almost just two months of usage. Absolute no drop or any of the sort. It’s just stopped reading. I had high expectations of WD but was disappointed, just like others that failed too. Either I’m not lucky or WD is just pure garbage now. Sigh!! Time to find another option.
