I have used WD disks for years and this new passport works well, as have other WD products. I have only had these for a few days, but have backed up a number of large directories and the speed, using USB 3 is quick as was expected.

EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO BACK UP MY VIDEOS ETC.

It completely died one month after buying it. WD does have a warranty but good luck trying to navigate their website. It took me hours to get to someone (and then a lot of mansplaining until the customer support guy had to admit that the drive was dead) and finally I got him to accept the return. It then took 4 months for them to send me a new one! Honestly not worth the hassle. I’ll be buying from another company from now on. Wonder how long the replacement is going to last?

So this drive is actually pretty good and the price was excellent at B&H when I purchased with the laptop I bought. The problem with this little guy, (and I do mean little) is its cord is so short that it keeps getting yanked out of the port. I have a laptop tray and the drive sits beside the laptop directly on the tray; every time I picked up the tray, the drive slid off the tray, came unplugged and crashed to the floor. The first time it happened I said I would be careful not to do that again; until it happened again! The second time it fell, it made noise but thankfully it still worked. It did not survive the 3rd drop. For that reason I give it 3 stars and a warning. However, I did like the drive so much that I repurchased it and use velcro strips to eliminate any more accidents.

Nice build quality, WD did an amazing job in the design. I use this all the time to back up my Photos and Videos. It was a little smaller than I thought it would be, but this makes it very good for storing media on my little Camera shelf. And I love the color!! All around it is a pretty good harddrive. Good job WD!!!!!! Love the Drive.

I bought this item to backup all my photos and videos while travelling. After each day photo session, I transfer photos and videos from my SDHC card to my MacBook Air. I discard bad shots and do some adjustments for the good ones and store them in Aperture. After that first clean up, I export the working copies to My Passport (original size).That way I keep all the time 3 versions: originals on SDHC cards, good ones after the first sort on MacBook Air (in Aperture) and exported copies on My Passport.I keep My Passport with me all the time. If my laptop is stolen, I’m safe.

Started malfunctioning after a couple months of light use. 2 weddings (800 or less RAW files) and 3 small photo sessions (100 or less RAW files) backed up and it started either not taking files at all or going painfully slow accepting about 2 files in 1 hour before it just stopped. SECOND Wester Digital Hard drive to malfunction on me within a couple of months. I will NOT buy WD ever again.

Well made. Designed for Mac Time Machine Use. What a breeze this was. All I did is hook it up to the USB port and click start. The rest was done. And, it came with a USB to HD cord that was very handy

Its a snap to set up. As a backup attached to my wifi router, it can be accessed by several computers; and it takes up so little space. No noise! I am using it mostly to backup large picture files as they accumulate, while in the process of converting hundreds of old slides to digital. It replaces two old desktop drives that were dying and very noisy. So far there are no complaints.

As spected and on time

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.
