    I had a hard time setting up this drive when I first got it a couple years ago. I should've respected the red flags and got another device. Now here I am trying to overnight a Samsung T7 to save my PSD file I need to finsih and submit by Tuesday. My final straw: hard drive mounts and dismounts on its own accord and has corrupted my files as I bought the drive to work off of to solve my scratch disk issues. It worked until it didn't. Regret ever buying this.

    This is the second WD My Passport I bought a few months ago. The case is more comfortable to grasp (compared with the previous design), and the texture is good-looking. The actual capacity is 3.63 TB, which should be enough for long-term backup of my videos, docs, photos, etc. It is somewhat disappointing to find that I can't decrypt the drive on Android devices. Overall, the product is good and suitable for anyone with a limited budget and a massive data storage need.

    Hello, We are sorry to hear about your user experience with WD My Passport Portable External Hard Drive and appreciate your time providing this review and bringing this matter to our concern. There can a few causes due to which the drive has unrecognizable. 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.

    Have had several WD Drives. Use it for system image. Today I see error messages after attempting a backup. Then the Drive started beeping when I reconnected it. I tried the site to locate my Drive Warranty and the site says it does not recognize my product. Disappointed to say the least especially after less than 2 months use.

    I have sent this Hard Drive back twice under warrantee, I am going to use it as a paperweight and I just figure that either the volume is made for a PC. I used Disk Utility and I cannot mount it. It failed after a week, the last one had clicking sounds and was a bit better at gaining within 2 weeks.

    Great little gadget that I used to free up some space on my computer. After that I was going to just use it as backup and had it plugged into a front port of my desktop but it was making my computer very very slow!!! So I just unplugged it for now and if I need it in the future I may try to plug it into a port in the back which may possibly work...???
