Windows 11 recognized the drive the first time I plugged it in. I was getting around 125 MB/sec transfer with USB-C. It took me around 3 days to clone another 5TB external drive to it at those speeds. However, there is another SES driver WD drives need that Windows doesn't automatically install. It will show up in your device manager with a big exclamation point. To fix that, make sure you run windows update, check for updates, and then look under the "advanced" tab for driver updates.

I bought this to back up my MacBook Pro, it was "plug and play". It is durable looking... Just what I needed, I did purchase a case for it... it was a smart move, it allowed me to keep all of my accessories inside and help keep my investment safe.

Have some difficulty saving documents to it as it reads drive is read only & there aren't any instructions to make it 'read-write' so that I can add files to it.

I am extreemly happy with my purchase of the WD 5TB My Passport Ultra Blue Portable External Hard Drive. It is exactly what I needed to store all my photos, videos, music and documents. It is very easy to use, just plug it into your computer and you are ready to go. It is also very fast and reliable, I have not experienced any lag or errors while transferring or accessing my files. The design is sleek and compact, and the blue color is very attractive. It fits perfectly in my backpack or laptop bag. I also like that it comes with a password protection feature and backup software for extra security and peace of mind. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who needs a lot of storage space in a portable device.

I have been using an older external disk from my older Macbook for backups on my newer Mac not knowing what I was missing on USB-C 3.1 backups. The old SATA to USB A to USB-C (12 inch Macbook dongle) deal was slow and this was pretty fast. Of course I could have bought a Sata to USB-C wire and that would have probably made my older drive zippier but this is so much simpler and I have always disliked the old connector. Probably good to have a newer external drive anyway. Of course the blue version of this drive needed to be formatted for Mac but it was worth if for the couple bucks saved and cooler color. I was wanting an SSD but it's apparently not needed or even recommended for backups. Some reviews claimed the USB-C cable wasn't good or that it didn't fit but that issue must have been fixed or I got lucky. Also if you're considering an SSD lots of stuff in the reviews and even speed tests. This older style disk is reliable and gets the job done and doesn't have any weird speed issues some of the SSDs seem to have.

I recently purchased three of these drives. The first two were manufactured in Malaysia, and have been trouble-free. The third was manufactured in Thailand, and was very slow compared to the first two and also had a common problem which is that it doesn't respond to the normal "safely eject" procedures. It insists that it is "in use" and can only be safely removed by fully shutting down the computer it's being used on, which is not what would be hoped for from a portable HDD. In addition, it was MUCH slower than the drives made in Malaysia, writing at speeds less than half the rate of the drives I received that were produced in Malaysia. So, I returned the drive from Thailand and it was replaced, unfortunately, with another drive also produced in Thailand and also VERY SLOW and impossible to safely eject without shutting down the computer or "uninstalling" the drive. Technical support has not been very helpful. When simple questions are asked via e-mail, in response to their messages to follow up on my "case," they just keep telling me to call rather than answering the questions. Again, very simple, very direct questions that should not require a phone call and all the bureaucratic waste of time that goes with that. When I DID speak with technical support, they sent me a bunch of tests to run and refused to stay on the line while I ran them. They were impatient and did not seem concerned to actually resolve my issue. I was initially pleased with the fact that they followed up by e-mail, but now that I realize they refuse to answer any tech questions via e-mail, even though technically they reached out to me to see if my issue was resolved, I am definitely not impressed with their "technical support." I have always purchased WD hdds for my portable storage needs, with one exception that I regretted. I have now purchased 7 WD hdds. I'm a loyal customer. But I am finding that they clearly have some q/a issues, and they do not seem eager to address them, which is discouraging as I feel I have given them every opportunity to do so. I am now uncertain as to whether to try yet another exchange or just to hang onto this substandard third drive or return it for a refund. So frustrating. So much wasted time. I do like the look of the drives and the fact that they're so small as compared to the last generation that I purchased. I'm very happy with the two that were manufactured in Malaysia. But WD should not be selling defective drives, and they should do more to take responsibility when they do. For the drive I returned for replacement, had I gone through WD warranty service, I would have had to pay to mail it to them, even though it was defective straight out of the box, and I would have had to wait possibly weeks for a replacement. That is definitely not what I'd hope for from customer service from such a well-respected brand. I'd like to add that I'm using the drive in Win7, so it is not a problem specific to Win10, as another user surmised. It's a problem with the drives themselves. How do I know? Because I'm using three identical drives on the same laptop and the two made in Malaysia eject just fine, but the two made in Thailand do not eject at all. I've also tried both of the problematic drives on a different laptop, and the problems persist, so my laptop is not the problem. Update: With 150 gigabytes of data already on the drive, I started transferring another file onto the new HDD, and it is transferring at a rate below 8 mbps. Unbelievably slow. Something is definitely wrong with these drives.
