About this product
The Western Digital My Passport gives you a generous 5TB of portable storage that's small enough to slip into your pocket yet robust enough to keep your entire digital life safe. Whether you're backing up years of family photos, storing your music collection, or keeping important documents secure, this sleek black drive combines practicality with peace of mind. It works with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, so you can connect it to virtually any computer and start transferring files straight away.
What sets the My Passport apart is the included WD Backup software and built-in 256-bit AES hardware encryption with password protection, set up easily through WD Discovery software to create your own personalised password.

does the job
its not easy talking about an inanimate item its done nothing hurtful to me. it just plugs in to USB and as usual you get less than the memory size because of Base4 calculations. other than that WD always do the job and they are pretty stable compared to others on the market, thats why i buy WD

Excellent Portable Hard Drive
I recently purchased a Western Digital My Passport 5TB Portable Hard Drive. This is my second WD HDD. I find them to be very reliable and well designed. Memory has soared in prices recently but I don't think you will find any 5TB Portable Hard Drive at as good a price as this.

Exactly what I needed :)
I bought this as I needed large storage capacity for pictures and other documents from 2 of my old computers. I have decided to retire those and start fresh with a new one. This 5TB WD was exactly what I needed and now everything is in one place, easy to access. Huge capacity, very good price, happy me !!
