I have a first gen Xbox one, got it shortly after release. I guess over the course of the last few years, while I was preoccupied on rocket league, games went the way of 100 gb file size. With the stock hard drive that limits me to a handful of games. Lame. So I bought this, 2TB drive to plug into the USB port on my Xbox. After easily formatting the drive through the Xbox settings I was downloading games and playing them off of the external drive without a hiccup. I can easily store tens of games on this drive and significantly expand my library. No issues whatsoever with the product. Would recommend.

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.

My new computer has an internal 256GB SSD drive and that does not have enough space to hold all the Photos I take of Seniors, weddings, landscape, etc.. So, I looked and found this 5TB drive to have the space I need for my photo storage. Works great and does not require external power. Also, the small size makes it great to carry in my laptop bag.

-1st one was working fine. Formatted it to get rid of the 100% USELESS data mining software on it. So far so good. -2nd says Read Only/Write Protected. What?! The useless software says I HAVE TO install a 3rd party software on it! Riiiight! Some wasted time on Win/WD forums later turns out it should be error checked first, and you can remove the attribute in DISKPART after. Win10 says the drive has errors. Needs repair. This is NOT a new thing. Seen reports from 2017. What WD have done to fix the problem and ensure their customers can use their products? Nothing. They mass produce it and hope some will work. Now off to drive an hour so I can send this paperweight back and wait till the next is here and hope it works. Make sure you buy it weeks before you need it.

My original 1TB hard drive for my Mac Mini Time Machine stopped working and I needed to replace it. Before I purchased this WD hard drive I had tried another model purchased at a local store that I had to return because it needed to be re-formatted for Mac and it did not work with my system. This WD Passport was a delight; small like an iPhone, just plug it in, install the soft ware, and ready to go. I am checking it from time to time and it’s recording everything automatically like it should. No problem so far, and I love it.

Compact little external drive. This drive needs power so don’t share an unpowered hub with other drives. Drive made a clicking noise until I plugged into its own USB port after I read clicking is a common problem when drives share an unpowered hub.

Very good price for 5tb external hard drive. Already formatted for Mac.It is so convenient to use. Also like the connector for dual port.It has both of USB 2 and C in one.A very good idea especially for limited numbers of port in the computer. I like it.

I use this hard drive to back up music and photo files, to keep my laptop from being cluttered. This product works like a charm. Compact and lightweight, which is a definite plus for my frequent travels.

I got a Toshiba hard drive off of Amazon and it works well, but it is not very fast. I got this product at B&H and it is so much faster. The design is futuristic and stands out more than any other object on my desk. That’s why I gave it 5 stars. Thank you B&H, and thank you WD My Passport.

I bought this in order to have a reliable, compact backup for my MacBook Pro Retina, which only has a 256g flash drive. That’s not enough but will have to do. I’m not spending the extra for 512 or larger, so I’ll learn to stop saving so many files. Or I’ll simply store them here on the 1TB drive. I may also investigate backing it up on the cloud, but I’ve had difficulties with internet connections and speed. I’d rather have my files at hand and back up files in the cloud.

This is my second hard disk of this model. Bought the second just weeks after the first one based on the slim profile and good performance on my MacBook Pro.

My purpose for this was to function as a Time Machine on a new Macintosh. It is small, quiet, powered by the PC and stays out of the way. Does its job well. It includes its own software on it for some sort of purpose, but I didn’t even bother to look at it: why would I when I already have Time Machine? 🙂

Easy installation. Perfect for what I needed it for – to back up all professional pictures I take and keep them separate from my personal files. I like the small size, especially compared to my other 500 gb WD external hard drive that I have had for several years.

Purchased this for use as an offsite backup. Copy speed is not that fast but it is enough for the task.
