WD Western Digital 5TB My Passport Portable Hard Disk Drive, USB 3.0 with Automatic Backup, 256 Bit AES Hardware Encryption,Password Protection,Compatible with Windows and Mac, External HDD-Red

I got the 5TB drive, red and black colour. Looks very good. Its simply the best, for backups and all. I'm happy. I'm getting around 50-60MB write speed on USB 3 on old laptop. Good for me. Before this, I also had a 2TB from WD, that's also doing well till now. Seagate has improved on reliability from older days, and now are also offering free recovery services, but I have a firm belief on WD. Still, you can do your research to see what does best for you, both companies make 5 star rated, reliable products.

Works great! The data transfer speed is good, it’s small and portable, and definitely worth the money.

Before you pull out your pitchforks, I'm a big WD fan. I have been using their products for years and have yet to have a single hard drive failure. Even my oldest powered 2TB WD My Book drive from 2013 is still alive and kicking today. That being said, Seagate products have learnt from their early mistakes and their hard drive are now more or less just as reliable as WD products (google: BackBlaze hard drive stats). However since WD have enjoyed their spot at the top, they don't feel like they need to provide anything more than the bare minimum so what you get when you buy a WD 5TB My Passport is just the hard drive and a USB cable and nothing else, no extras for 8999 INR. However, with the Seagate OneTouch 5TB, for the same price, you also get a 1 year trial of Mylio (a pretty cool self-hosted alternative of Google Photos), a 4 month trial of Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan and 3 year Rescue Data Recovery Services. The last part is the one of the best perks of getting a Seagate product. What it means is that over the 3 year warranty of your product, if your Seagate HDD breaks down, you get 1 in-lab data recovery attempt by Seagate for free. Both WD and Seagate will replace your HDD if it fails but Seagate will also attempt full data recovery on the failed drive once during that 3-year warranty period which mind you, is a huge perk. Data recovery services aren't cheap and generally cost like 10-20 times the value of the HDD itself. Now coming to performance differences between the two, I'm attaching all the different tests I've conducted on both hard drive using CrystalDiskMark 8. They're pretty much identical but WD has the lead over Seagate for smaller file transfers while Seagate does slightly better at large sequential file transfers. The WD drive was already formatted using NTFS while Seagate was using exFAT out of the box. After formatting the Seagate HDD to NTFS, the sequential write performance decreased by around 5-10 MB/s. I hadn't encrypted the WD drive but the Seagate was encrypted using the Seagate Toolkit (which may or may not have contributed to some performance decrease, I don't know).

I sincerely request everyone to not purchase HDD from Western Digital. They make faulty HDDs and also do not cover any Recovery Warranty. My HDD just stopped working within 2.5 years despite taking utmost care. The Data Recovery Center demanded 1.2 lakhs for Data Recovery (They too are big Scammers). I have now purchased Seagate HDD 2TB which comes with 2 years Data Recovery Service and is a trusted brand. So again, I repeat that "Do not buy any HDD from Western Digital Brand"

I'm already a WD user, WD is really a GooD brand for storage devices. I brought 5TD HDD red color. Working awesome.

So far so good. Excellent product and very fast transfer rate. Compatible with windows, haven't tried on mac.

5TB HARDDISK ACTUALLY DELIVERS 4.54TB, YOU MUST FORMAT IT INTO EXFAT FORMAT BEFORE USING IT. THE HEIGHT OR WE CAN SAY THE PHYSICAL SIZE OF THE HARDDRIVE IS DOUBLE THE 2TB HARDDRIVE, SO DO BUY THE AIRCASE WHICH IS ROUGH AND TOUGH FOR THE HARDDRIVE PROTECTION!

Worth its value ,still using it same way

Needed something reliable to back up years of photos, videos, and random chaos—this 5TB WD My Passport totally delivered! Super compact and lightweight! The transfer speeds have been solid (nothing to complain about unless you're expecting SSD speeds

Timemachine用（タワー型）やデータ保存用（ポータブル）、起動ディスク用（SSD）など、すべてWD（WesternDigital）製を使用しています。 Amazon以外で購入したものも含め10台近く使用してきた中で、壊れたのは２台。 タワー型の１台は風通しの悪いところに設置していたため熱にやられたようで、もう１台のポータブルは使いすぎ？なのか、PCに繋いでも認識せず、あれこれやっても初期化できず（まっさらにして使おうかと思いましたが、私の力では読み込みのみ出来る状態までにしかできませんでした）。 そろそろ追加で購入と思いきや、この値段では……。 せめて半年前の値段に戻ったら（戻らない？）、２台ほど追加購入しようと思います（昨年：2025年はAmazonで3台購入しました）。
