Good product but if you can invest double, go for SSD

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.

This extrnal drive is fast and can be Transported easily

WD is very good products. using the same HDD already many years. and ibreally love it. Never had problems so far with WD. Just do not drop it 🙈in total u will get around 4.6 TB ,nowadays it's not that much. PS.Waiting when Ssd get cheaper !!!

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 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 !!!

Always liked this WD products. This one seemed to be a very good compact Harddisk. Not too much weight too. Overall a very good Harddisk👍🏻😊
