Review: Compact, Fast and Perfect for Everyday Backups - This WD external hard drive is small, lightweight and very easy to use. It works straight out of the box with plug and play on Windows, and it only takes a quick reformat to use with Mac. The 1TB storage is plenty for photos, videos, documents and backups. Transfer speeds are fast with USB 3.0, and files copy smoothly without any issues. It feels well made and reliable, and it fits easily in a pocket or bag for travel. Overall, this is a great option if you want simple, portable and dependable storage at a very reasonable price. I would definitely recommend it.
Review: Reliable and quiet - I've had a fair few of these drives over the years and I've never had a 2.5" WD Passport drive fail. Even my ancient 250GB WD Passport drives still work. The longer I live, the more storage I seem to need. I used to think the "Ultra" drives were faster than the USB3 drives, but on my PC, there doesn't seem to be much in it if anything, speed-wise. This 5TB drive is quiet, has a decent turn of speed, though not blisteringly fast, and I expect it to give many years of reliable service. Supplied with a short USB A (3) USB B (3) lead, it's simply plug and play and Windows recognises it and allows you to use it. It comes supplied with some WD software, but I just popped that in a folder unused, as the WD Passport drives always work fine out of the box. My drive was made in Thailand, and looking at a few of them, most of my WD Passport drives were made in Thailand (even the really old 250GB ones), though I have one which was made in Malaysia. Oddly enough, the Malaysian drive is my only WD Passport I've got that's a little bit noisy as it vibrates slightly in use. It works fine, but I'm guessing if I do ever get an external 2.5" drive fail on me, it'll be that one. All the others I have are quiet. Whatever you need external storage for, the WD Passport drives are excellent, and when you upgrade your PC, you don't need to faff about transferring all your data over if you use these drives. Highly recommended!
