Very disappointed lost all my data.
I was going through files on my WD passport 5TB and it stopped showing up on my computer suddenly and I cannot access my files. I tried troubleshooting it multiple times with no success. Light turns on and it won't read. I have an ancient WD elements HDD that's still going strong but this just suddenly stopped working. Judging from other reviews relatively new units suddenly cease to be recognized. Sucks that it's out of warranty and I spent so much money on a HDD for it to go out less than two years. I simply cannot recommend this product.

Great portable storage option
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re like me, you usually run out of storage space on your electronics. WDs My passport is a game changer. Not only was I able to free up space on my computer, but I was able to easily transfer larger files from my computer to a friends. I’ve read others reviews before trying this product myself and I can vouch for the positive ones. I’ll also add that nothing is perfect and there will be issues time to time, but it sounds like the company is more than willing to help out in those situations.
My only complaint is the packaging is not the best and could be improved as the box was a little ripped up when I received it through the mail.

Passport Right Size for Safety Deposit Box
I have over 28,000 files I like to back up to my hard drive daily and I use 3 4tb Passport external hard drives to back up quarterly. I keep these 3 drives after recording all backup data, in a safety deposit box in my bank. I have the standard small box. The 3 drives fit snuggly and perfectly standing on a side edge back to back and to the very back end of the box. PERFECT FIT! These files represent over 30 years of photos, videos, and data sheets accumulated over the years. I've replaced my computer 3 times over that period and this data is safe and off sight for emergencies.

Disappointed
Brand new 4T My Passport plugged into my PC, when Im trying to start the automatic back up from the App, displays the message, that computer does not "see" the drive. Yet, I was able to save some files on this drive by simply copying them into this drive. And the manual is nowhere to be found. Very disappointing.

Downloaded data into it and then it crashed!
I downloaded up to 600 GB in it painstakingly and suddenly it crashed and I lost all that data. It doesn't even show up as a drive in any computer I tried ever since. The light is on but nothing is to be found!

Not for Mac
I have sent this Hard Drive back twice under warrantee, I am going to use it as a paperweight and I just figure that either the volume is made for a PC. I used Disk Utility and I cannot mount it. It failed after a week, the last one had clicking sounds and was a bit better at gaining within 2 weeks.

Absolute crap
This product failed on me. Multiple times it didn't eject properly. Then suddenly, it wouldn't mount! I have lost all my data on something that was meant to be a back up of that data. Never buy this product, ever! Does not deserve one star!
