I am very happy to have purchased this product, on the advice of the sales assistant in the shop, who was very friendly, very efficient and very professional.
This hard drive does its job well: it is reliable, stable, compact, easy to use and has a good capacity (4TB).
The value for money is very good.
Thank you and well done for this high-performance product, which is perfect for what I need: to store data securely and stably over time.
As for delivery, fast and impeccable as usual. I wanted 4TB to back up my work, but for a few euros more, I might as well get 5TB. On the other hand, I am extremely surprised and disappointed by the slowness of writing, but I had no choice.
Ordered on 22/11/2022Since I've had it, I've used it less than 10 times in 2 years. It's now 1 October 2024 and it's already starting to crash. Very very disappointed in the end.

Impeccable
I already have one that I'm happy with. It's a few years old and still works.
I used it once. It was well spotted by the PC and transferred quickly.
I'd recommend it.

Product meets my expectations
The reliability of this kind of product can only be judged over a relatively long period of time. So far, all the WD MY Passports I've bought have been problem-free and I've been completely satisfied.

Good equipment
It's a tough one! Working in tandem with another HD, which remains in a safe place, it stores my archives and transports them whenever I need them, even in a rucksack over terrain that is sometimes impossible during naturalist surveys).

The drive is very fast, both when transmitting and receiving files. Very good product, I like the design, it's my third from this brand and I'm never disappointed.

Good Product
Order received on time by LDLC. I bought this external hard drive to equip an Android TV decoder.
The speeds are satisfactory and it is possible to encrypt content using a password. To do this, you need to download software and install it on the hard drive. The USB 3.0 cable looks solid.
I'll have to wait and see, but for now I'm satisfied.

It's still small in size, but with a good capacity. No installation, just plug it in and it's ready to go (Linux Mint).

WD 5 TB: after a few backups
Product as described. NTFS pre-formatted. First uses for backup without problem. As is often the case, see how it performs over time.

Great.
5to in the size of a packet of Gauloises. Quiet. Doesn't heat up much: below 30°C despite 6 hours of sustained writing. Gets along very well with Linux Mint 21.0 - About 20% smaller than its 4TB predecessors from the same manufacturer. I'm happy, very happy.

Good product
Immediately detected under windows 11, ready to use, fast usb3 speed (no USB C plug on this version).
I bought it with the Case logic QHDC-101K case because I had read that the hard drive vibrated .... it's true that it vibrates slightly ... at least now it's safe in its big cosy nest. I use it for occasional archiving.

Relatively compact device for its capacity. No worries about implementation even after partitioning. I have a large amount of media and use it as a backup with remarkable transfer rates. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. Thanks to the LDLC team.

Product not stable in durability
I bought this product on 13/02/2020, and it was working fine, today I find myself with a hard drive that is running at 10MB/s, less than 10% of its theoretical speed. I'm trying to format it to see if it solves the problem, and after 15 hours of formatting, I'm only at 4% of progress on formatting the hard drive.
I have tried on 2 pc's and a nas and same problem on all 3.

Good external drive for my backups
The only downside is that I didn't manage to install the backup management application that comes with it, so I'm still copying files by synchronising directories. And this despite multiple attempts. I'm on W10 family 100% up to date.

Excellent
Very interesting price for a 5Tb. Very small and efficient for archiving, self-powered by USB, ideal.
The service from LDC (delivery and tracking) is as usual.
Just for info and reminder and to answer all the messages from people dissatisfied with the size of their disk in general, Windows or your OS will give you the size in MB, GB or TB with multiples of 1024 bytes noted 1KB. Here if you look at the properties of the disk (right click on the explorer), you will see 4,54 To but well 5 000 000 000 000 bytes, the count is there as always!

Secure backup with WD Security
Thanks to this portable hard drive, I can keep a secure backup of my important files (programming, web development, ...) by encrypting them transparently thanks to WD Security (or "WD Discovery").
Moreover, the USB 3.0 connectivity of this one allows to accelerate the time necessary to create this backup.
PS: I use FreeFileSync to keep a backup up to date without having to transfer everything manually.

Very good product
Very interesting price for 5 TB. Once connected, it goes down to 4.54Tb and that's why I didn't buy a 4Tb. Self-powered by its USB 3 plug, the transfer and storage of more than 1.44Tb of videos was done in 2h25 for an average speed of 140MB/second. For this copy, I paid attention to the heating of the box which remained normal considering the volume of data, hardly hotter than my hand. Once the transfer is finished, the videos play perfectly and the temperature remains ambient. I also made a backup of some 27516 photographs for a total of 129 GB in less than 20 minutes. Concerning the said 5Tb, you have to take into account the loss of space between the announced value and the real value; 5Tb > 4.54Tb (other brands don't do better) and the small size of the 47cm cord. I have known Western Digital for a long time and have never had any problems, so I have complete confidence in the brand. I've never had any problems with them, so I'm very confident in them and the LDLC service, as always, from the speed of the order to the reception, is perfect.

I've been using it for a while now, but it's not as fast as I expected. The design matches the picture on the site but is slightly thicker than previous versions.

small but strong
Great price for 5Tb.
I'm very happy with the product, it's perfect as an extension of a laptop to have my photo and video collections always at hand even when I'm on the move, especially as it's self-powered via the USB socket. I've never used it live, but it's a great tool for live events. I've never used it live, for games for example, so I don't know if the I/O speeds would be sufficient for that use.

TB except that it disconnects from the explorer.
A HDD that does its job in terms of performance.
I bought it in addition to a previous one of the same capacity (it fills up quickly when you collect TV recordings...).
But the problem is that it crashes the explorer quite regularly... unlike the previous one of the same brand but not exactly the same model (the previous one was guaranteed for 5 years, not this one...).

Small, quiet but 1Tb ... the usb cable delivered with it is quite long so you don't have to twist it to connect it to your PC or TV.

A record that does the job
Small, practical, very good size, fast (easy movie playback), red so recognizable among the others.
Nothing to say after 1 month of use.
