Western Digital 5TB WD My Passport, Portable External Hard Drive HDD, Black - WDBPKJ0050BBK-WESN

I love my Western Digital My Passport 6 TB backup drive w/ 256-bit AES hardware encryption! This is the second Passport drive I have had (the previous one was 5 TB). They were both very easy to set up and very fast when connected via a USB-3 port to my Dell Latitude 7450 computer. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat!

I lost all of my pictures and videos one time because my hard drive crashed. As a result now I have a backup and I backup my backup. I also don't like cloud services, I am old school and just keep an external hard drive in my safety deposit box. This one is perfect and 5TB will take a long time to fill up.

Besides not including the “hyper speed usb-c to usb 2.0” adapter, no issues so far actually . Huge packaging not sure why but it seems like it's still a “Newer” model . Honestly if I had the choice I'd go with the “plus” wd 5TB but this one is compatible with the hyper speed adapter that's IF you already have one . The color matches my ps5 I got for my birthday so really it's nice I compare it side by side visually to the “plus” wd 5TB model %26 seems the same . I'd have to test the speeds but it's plug and play basically . It reads on my ps5 so it's good enough for me . Anyways only issue I had it did not state that it didn't have that hyper speed adapter and I'm guessing either they just have different names but it's still good enough besides not describing fully the product I got this because the “plus” model was out of stock everywhere. I'm happy for the price I got it for . Sorry I don't have more pics atm cos I'm replacing my other external and using this on my ps5. Matches the color and looks cooler and besides that I'd get this if I coudlnt get the “plus” model both 5 TB. I'm a die hard gamer so I'm set

I've owned several of this over the years. A couple died after a few years of use. I just find it strange that Walmart has these in stock for about 45 dollars more yet it's been out of stock at Sam's for months. Curioser, curioser.

I have a Raspberry Pi running OSMC (and other services) that I use as a portable media center. My new 6TB Passport provides a lot of portable media storage for that rig. I've only had it a few months so far but it's working great.

I use computer for Excel Word processing PowerPoint, Stock, Trading, and various other personal home records. It's been far faster than my previous computer and I'm quite happy with it. The graphics are far superior and the minute increase in the screen has made a big difference. I highly recommend this machine to anybody who wants to use it. The speed is exceptional.

The operation of this external hard drive is generally good. However, it is not downward compatible with older USB connections even though it was inferred otherwise. Also, I was surprised that is is an old school spinning drive and not a solid state drive.

Product came with damaged case and there were scuffs on the item and manual had a dirt mark. Works otherwise

First off his was sold by a 3rd party. WD has, right on the front of there packsge, a 3 Year Warranty". After I receiving, i went inline and tried to register so to make the warranty effective but WD site said the warranty would expire in just 6 MONTHS and not 3 years. I took it back to Walmart and they said they, themselves could not issue me the refund so now i am waiting on the 3rd party seller to respond and send me a full refund. Very disappointing, very deceiving. Not real happy with the whole ordeal but a lesson learned. Think twice before buying 3rd party items on the Walmart.com website :(

Like others have said, this drive is not very fast. The big problem with it is that it is heavy. I used this to back up VERY important data, and since I manage International business, sometimes I can be on the road for weeks at a time. Therefore, I live or die by my hard drive. This thing fell off a chair to the floor, maybe 18 inches and died. It is only a few months old! What a disappointment, and I lost months of work. I know IT people...3 back-ups on two different types of media. Easier said than done.
