WD 6TB My Passport, Portable External Hard Drive, Black, Backup Software with Defense Against ransomware, and Password Protection, USB 3.1/USB 3.0 Compatible - WDBR9S0060BBK-WESN

Working flawlessly now for several months of always on operation. I use this drive almost exclusively for differential backups of my main 2 TB NVME drive.

El producto es muy bueno y la relación con su precio es excelente

Lots of space and can hold everything i need that wont fit onto my gaming computer

Took over 10 years of backups

Aun estoy ingresando archivos al disco funciona muy bien

very good deal.

I bought two WD 4 TB external HDDs many years ago. They've both been reliable workhorses. So when I needed to expand my storage to 6 TB HDDs, I bought them from WD, one blue, one black.WD's quality control has fallen.My new blue HDD works fine, but the black one had problems. It made loud clicking sounds. Not a good sign. The last time I had a new HDD (from Seagate) that clicked loudly, over 30 years ago, it suffered full mechanical failure within months.But the new black WD HDD wasn't just loudly clicking. My Lenovo laptop, running Windows 11, sometimes didn't recognize the HDD. If I unplugged the HDD from the laptop, then replugged it, then the laptop recognized it.This problem never showed up with the blue HDD, which never clicked.I copied over 2,900 MP4 files onto both of the new WD HDDs. I didn't use WD's copy program, as some reviewers had problems with it. I used Windows 11 Explorer to drag & drop the files.Later, I opened the files' folder on the black WD HDD. The MP4 files were listed. But when I clicked to watched one, my movie program said: File Not Found. I clicked several other MP4 files, but always received the message: File Not Found.I returned the black HDD (kept the blue one), and bought a third WD 6 TB HDD, a red one.Once again, when I began using it, it began loudly clicking. Bad sign. But I gave it a shot, copying my MP4 files onto it. I watched some of the transfers, saw that the files were copying.But the next day, my Lenovo once again didn't recognize the red HDD, not until I unplugged and replugged it. Not a good sign.Then when I opened the files' folder, I saw that most of the MP4 files I had copied were not listed -- files that I had seen in the folder the night before.Yet Windows 11 Explorer indicated the files were there, based on the number of files it counted, and on the amount of free space remaining on the HDD. But when I opened the files' folder on the HDD, the files didn't appear.I then tried to drag & drop the missing files a second time onto the HDD, but Windows 11 said that files with the same names already existed on the HDD. Although they didn't appear when I looked into the folder.I might put this down to a problem with Windows 11, but for the fact that both problem HDDs (the black and red ones) clicked loudly, which should not be the case. Neither of the old WD 4 TB HDDs click loudly, nor the new blue WD 6 TB HDD which has no problems recognizing files.I still need backup storage. I'll have to return the red WD HDD as well, and seek another brand.

Perfect for my needs. I've purchased several of these over the years in varying storage capacities and I'm always happy with performance.
