There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Reads and writes very fast and it's completely quiet. I purchased the optional Data Recovery plan just in case. I LOVE THE WHITE COLOR!!!
The drive did work fine, however, as a new storage option (as opposed to backing up what I had in the cloud) for about six weeks -- long enough for me to put a lot of data on it. Then it started disconnecting whenever it was even slightly moved or tilted. (The cable was still in place in both ports, but the connection started to come and go while I was using the drive.) Not good for a drive that's supposed to be portable and somewhat sturdy. Customer service at WD initially tried to blame my computer's ports because a "quick scan" diagnostic found nothing wrong within the external drive. However, I insisted on trying a full-scan option, and of course the drive disconnected during the course of that scan. That caused the diagnostic to declare that the drive had bad sectors, and that activated my warranty. But now, before WD will send a replacement, WD says I have to first go to a recommended data-retrieval service AND send the drive back to WD. Unless I can persuade them to come up with an alternative, that will mean days if not weeks without a drive or my data, PLUS the uncertainty that comes with sending out the data that is on the malfunctioning drive - both from a security perspective and just from not knowing what data I'll get back. I would very much prefer that they just send a new drive, so that I can try to transfer the data myself, holding the unstable drive very still. If I end up having to buy a new drive, it will not be a WD MyPassport.
The only annoying thing is it's LED indicator is very bright and will flash on and off while the PS4 is in Rest Mode, but.. that's nothing tape can't fix.
**** It’s Powered and Sends info using only ONE USB CABLE!!! ❤️😊👍👍👍
*** The cable is very very short and colored same as the hard drive itself. ❤️😊👍
It’s a portable drive, so it’s meant to quickly and neatly be connected then removed. So a long chord shouldn’t be necessary anyways…. Most computers today should have easy accessible USB connections.
