Good drive, pretty similar to previous version, differences are mostly aesthetic

November 5, 2016

Capacity: 3TBStyle: PCColor: Black

WD just released the latest version of their Passport Portable External Hard Drives in 1TB, 2TB, 3TB, and 4TB.
For the 3TB The old version was Model #WDBBKD0030BBK-NESN and this new version is Model # WDBYFT0030BBK-WESN.
I researched if there are any differences, so here is what I came up with...

Pros
• High Capacity Available - Up to 4TB (The older model when released had up to 3TB capacity, up until a 6/28/16 release of a short lived 4TB model)
• Testing suggests slightly faster data transfer rate
• Now available in 6 colors.

Same as Old Model Nothing Changed
• Automatic local and cloud backup
• Optional 256-bit AES hardware encryption
• Comes in same 4 colors, they still offer black, blue, red and white (+ yellow and orange)
• USB 3.0 connectivity
• Formatted for Windows, reformatting required for Mac
• Same operating temperature
• USB 3.0 up to 5 Gb/s (max) / USB 2.0 compatible up to 480 Mb/s (max)
• Operating temperature: 5°C to 35°C / Non-op. temperature: –20°C to 65°C

Cons
• Introduction of odd shape to part of the new casing
• Round corners are now replaced with sharp/pointy edges
• Fingerprints and scratching more visible on new model
• Some colors may be too bright for some, and previous version berry, became brighter red (note this con is highly subjective)
• Overall size of new model is not smaller. (Actually a tiny bit bigger, about 1.5 mm bigger)
• 1TB weight went a bit up from 0.34 lbs to 0.37 lbs, 2TB ,3TB & 4 TB weight went a bit up too from 0.50 lbs to 0.54 lbs
• Warranty dropped down from 3 Years to 2 Years

Package Includes
• My Passport hard drive
• USB 3.0 cable
• WD Backup™, WD Security™ and WD Drive Utilities™ software
• Quick install guide

Bottom Line - They are pretty similar, differences are mostly aesthetic, so get what is cheaper. (Unless you like one casing/shape over the other, or care enough about the loss of 1 additional year of warranty on the new 2016 model).

and they both are doing really good - they don't overheat when used for long periods

January 4, 2018

Capacity: 3TBStyle: PCColor: BlackVerified Purchase

After one month, it wouldn't read, and I lost over 2500 files. I contacted WD tech support, and they said the only option was to replace the drive, or have file scan & recovery done. Recovery is very expensive, several hundred dollars, so my only recourse was to replace and try to reconstruct the files myself. NO confidence in this specific unit! I have a WD 750 gb & a WD 4 tb pocket drives, and they both are doing really good - they don't overheat when used for long periods, and keep up with fast file transfers. Don't know why, but this 3 tb is not the same quality.

Didn't last 2 weeks, lost a lot of valuable data. Piece of junk.

September 5, 2018

Capacity: 3TBStyle: PCColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I bought this to backup my laptop since it was starting to have issues. I installed, set it up, and backed up my laptop with no problems. Then about a week later, it stopped backing up my laptop and wasn't recognized and was causing the laptop to lock up. Thought is was mostly my laptop, so I bought a brand new Dell one. Plugged in WD hard drive to restore all my documents, pictures, etc. but my new laptop wouldn't read it either and even locked up my new laptop. Went online, downloaded drivers directly from WD, still no luck. I'm not an IT expert, but pretty capable to figure these types of things out, but finally gave up and called WD support. They remotely took control of my computer and after trying several things, advised that the hard drive was completely corrupted and broke. Advised me to return it or buy a new one and that if I needed the data, I could send it in for data recovery. I had a WD hard drive before and it always worked. Extremely disappointed since it failed in two weeks and some data is lost which is the entire point of having it!!
Doubt I will ever buy another WD product again.
Look for another option.
**FYI, WD if you are reading this, I did try your support and after troubleshooting and determining your drive was faulty, the response was pretty much, "return where you bought it, sorry about your luck, if you want to contact our data recovery team, you can, have a nice day."
I already have a case number.

Will not format for Mac in High Sierra

December 31, 2017

Capacity: 3TBStyle: PCColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I purchased one of these earlier this year for my iMac, before I upgraded to High Sierra. It worked like a charm. I recently purchased a new iMac with High Sierra, and bought one of these to use with that iMac. Unfortunately, it appears that there is an issue reformatting this external hard drive in High Sierra. It 'fails" to reformat and says there is not enough space on the brand new hard drive to complete the process.

The first one a few days ago, I returned because there was no way to get it reformatted for a Mac. So I ordered another one which came today, and had the same issue. So I asked my brother to see if he could get it to format on his MacBook, which does NOT have High Sierra. He was able to do it. So now I have attached it to my iMac and it is working fine. Unfortunately I would not have known that if he didn't have a MacBook without High Sierra.... so if you purchase this hard drive, be aware that you may not be able to format it for your Mac if you have High Sierra installed.

The most reliable brand.

October 21, 2017

Capacity: 3TBStyle: PCColor: BlackVerified Purchase

"What's the point of all new technologies when you are about to lose your daughter's childhood photos?"

WD doesn't tend to apply state-of-art technologies on their items like Sea**te does.
But 'reliability' far outweighs 'innovation' when it comes to a hard drive.
It doesn't break down like one made of sugar

Go with WD.

Great portable drive

May 7, 2017

Capacity: 3TBStyle: PCColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Came in on time price was not to bad little less than at the stores. It has both Windows and Mac drivers. Preset for Windows pluged it in and the computer picked it up right away. Do to installing drivers and formating it when pluged in first time you will lose some space I ended up with 2.72 tb which is still plenty for me . So I would recommend this if you are looking for a large capacity portable drive

My luck ran out.

August 8, 2017

Capacity: 3TBStyle: PCColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Received the item on time and in excellent physical condition. When the computer recognized it, and it spun up, it made a sort of pulsating grinding sound. I figured it would not last long. I have 3 other WD drives, and they all work fine. Returned. I guess the odds finally caught up with me.
