Died after less than TWO months !!
Abysmal hardware. This was died on me 6 weeks after purchase. It experienced no falls, no brownouts or any other kind of damage. Then to get an RMA, you have to pay to have it shipped to Malaysia even though its under warranty. Western digital has dropped the ball, and I will never purchase another external drive from them again.
Where's Waldo?

WD drives are pretty good
This is a great drive but the real review will be in 5 years from now will it still work. This why I can only give it 4 stars. Wester Digital drives in general are pretty good.

Works, but with a quirk
It came with both USB C and USB AB connectors which was nice.
Copies data back and forth nice a quickly.
However, it won't let me change the look of the file icons on it.

Great Dependable Backup Device
This is actually our third, but different color. We had to do handle backup on existing computer and found them dependable and high speed while highly compact. So when I new computer entered the family we knew just where to go for a new backup device.

4.5 stars, love it
So far so good! It's much smaller than I anticipated, but I honestly didn't look at dimensions as much as I was looking at what it could do for me. Set up was simple and quick; transfers are quick and painless; it's VERY portable. My biggest complaint is that it does not consistently eject properly, I quit everything on my computer and it *still* said there was an appli...

Hello Tomas2,
We're sorry to hear about your user experience with the My Passport External Portable Hard Drive and appreciate your time for providing this review. There can a few causes due to which the drive has stopped working. Such causes include the faulty USB port of the drive or the computer, faulty USB cable of the drive or the drive itself may not be getting enough power to spin up and register on the computer to show up. Unsafe ejection of the drive during any read or write operation can also result in the corruption of the drive's partition.
Best practice is to run diagnostics with WD Drive Utilities when a drive does not perform as expected or is behaving abnormally. We recommend avoiding USB hubs for external hard drives and therefore connect the drive directly to a USB 3.0 port on the computer. We have placed a few helpful links below providing more information for your convenience.

"Windows or macOS Cannot Find My Drive":

If the test is unfortunately inconclusive and you just purchased the drive then you should be able to return it to the place of purchase. However, if you are past their return policy, you can create an RMA through WD and replace the drive under warranty if necessary.

Reliable, Fast and Easy to setup
Love the Speed, easy setup, and I really love the size of it. Was a little pricey, but it is an SSD.
