good quality

I bought this since I needed to clone my 2TB M.2 drive & this was cheaper compared to 2TB SSDs (both SATA & M.2 formats). Unfortunately, Clonezilla stated that this drive has less number of sectors compared to my 2TB M.2 SSD. I'm just now using it to backup some documents on my PC.

I bought the 5TB one and it giving me 4.85 TB on most computers. Quite robust but is not being read by my new 4k Videocon TV. Have to transfer films to usb pendrives that are read by the TV. I store a lot of media on it and it sees rough use and does its job well. Suggest storing in a dedicated HDD hard case. On the whole a dependable product which should see around 2-3 years moderate to extensive use. Love the item - use it every day !!!

Very good

I decided to wait almost 11 months before writing this review, hoping to give the product a fair chance. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a complete disaster. After just a few months of use, the drive started slowing down significantly. It would write at normal speeds for a short while, then drop to nearly zero, making even basic file transfers frustrating. Eventually, I encountered the dreaded "can't read from source file or disk" error, and the drive became unusable. I ran tests using chkdsk and CrystalDiskInfo, which revealed bad sectors and a high pending sector count, meaning the drive was physically degrading and couldn't be trusted with my data anymore. This drive is simply unreliable, especially considering that I have three other 5TB drives (bought over 3 years ago), all of which are still working perfectly. In contrast, this WD Passport has been an abysmal experience. My advice: Do NOT be tempted by discounted tech products. This drive broke down in a matter of months, and it's simply not worth the risk. Be careful and ALWAYS buy from the original store to ensure quality and reliability. Save yourself the trouble, and avoid this drive altogether.

I have several external drive and I have some WD drives that are ten years old and still working like new. Extremely reliable and well made product. It’s a drive that I would recommend to anyone. It’s very portable and you can bring it with you anywhere. It doesn’t heat up, the support from the WD team is amazing if you have questions or concerns. The cost could be a bit lower but I guess it’s worth paying more for a reliable product.

I have many WD Ultra hard disks & this is my first 5T version. As usual, no problem when connected to my 4T BeeStation as a backup disk. Great product.

Super 👍👍 work well

Pros: + I been buying a few of the WD 4TB external USB 3.0 hard drives + Reliable, ~80mb-100mb read/writes + Plug and play, auto detected + Price, WD put a this product in a really sweet price point making it somewhat affordable for the size + Available colors, there are so many colors to choose from vs other brands/vendors Cons: - It can get expensive off sale - Older models have slower transfer rates, slightly and higher failure rates. 1/10 failed prematurely. - LED light facing the plug side which are usually the opposite side when you want to know if there's any activity.
