WD 5TB My Passport Portable External Hard Drive, Black - WDBPKJ0050BBK-WESN

good quality

The Western Digital My Passport 5TB (Black, USB 3.2) is an excellent portable storage solution. Its 5TB capacity and fast USB 3.2 interface make transferring large files quick and easy. The sleek, compact design is durable and travel-friendly. Setting it up is simple with plug-and-play functionality for both Windows and Mac. Included software offers automatic backups and password protection, adding extra security. With reliable performance and a 3-year warranty, this drive is perfect for anyone needing high-capacity storage in a compact, user-friendly package. Highly recommended!

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.

Very good

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.

working perfectly from 12 months

Good

Bewährte Technik, einfach bedienbar, zuverlässig. Diese externe Festplatte von Western Digital braucht eigentlich keine langatmigen Rezensionen mehr. Sie macht, was sie soll, und das ohne Beanstandungen. Klasse!

Todo correcto. Cumple mis requisitos.

I have several external drive and I have some WD drives that are ten years old and still working like new. Extremely reliable and well made product. It’s a drive that I would recommend to anyone. It’s very portable and you can bring it with you anywhere. It doesn’t heat up, the support from the WD team is amazing if you have questions or concerns. The cost could be a bit lower but I guess it’s worth paying more for a reliable product.

I have many WD Ultra hard disks & this is my first 5T version. As usual, no problem when connected to my 4T BeeStation as a backup disk. Great product.

Ich liebe dieses kleine Teil. Passt in jede Hosentasche. Reagiert nach dem anstecken super schnell. Un zwei TB nur für Photos hat auch was
