WD harddisks - shell life only for 3 years
By Amazon Customeron
I am not happy with WD external hard disks.Good: Delivery is prompt, Service within Limited warranty is good.Poor: With all my 6 hard disks usage I found that WD hard-disks only work fine within the limited warranty period. There is no longer life then it.... 3 years. If a disk gets failed before 3 years, WD does replace that but the new one will also work for the 3 years.After 3 years every time it starts giving an instant problem, then one may end up either by discarding it fully or may be use it as an mobile device and if any important data is saved then better to keep backup copy elsewhere since you never know whether and how long the disk data is available and disk is functional.So overall my personal experience with WD harddisks - shell life only for 3 years.
Died after 1 year
By Diego P.on
It lasted 1 year. After that there were constant errors and endless waits to write/read. A chkdsk surface scan showed bad sectors everywhere. The hard disk died and my data with it.
when I contacted Amazon guys their amazing reply was bad luck buddy we are helpless
By Umesh D.on
I bought this product on festive sales during independence day 2016. The product performance seems ok, I was able to store some 200 GB Data, but I am not sure if it is locked whether it is covered under warranty. One should check this before buying, most of the guys make money by locking the data. Secondly I was charged 6600 less 500 bucks cash back during the festive season. However I found the product price was listed as 5750 after the festive sale concluded. I felt that I was being taken for a royal ride.....when I contacted Amazon guys their amazing reply was bad luck buddy we are helpless ! So guys beware unless you are sure that you are getting a good deal during festive season don't buy if you are unsure.
Best value for money !
By Amit Ron
After using this Hard disc for 3 years , I can say this product is really worth buying.1.Data transfer is very fast.2.No issues have been observed even after 2 years.3.I use this daily as my computer have very low storage. So this harddisc is always connected to my computer.4. Its sleek and solid design makes it attractive and easy to carry.This product can be bought , you will not regret it.Tips - Keep this product in your cart for 1 week and you will see a price drop of around 500 Rupees. It worked for me ??
Very good portable hard drive
By Siddhartha_Bon
Very good portable hard drive, handy and easy to use. I was bit tentative while ordering as I have never used WD product before. But now, after using it for more than a year, I can say that WD is one of the best brand to trust if you are looking to buy an external hard drive. It responds very quickly while plugging. Good data transfer speed. Highly recommended.
Comparison of 3 HDs
By Avik Majumderon
This review talks about 3 harddisks: WD My Passport, WD Elements, Seagate Expansion. Passport is 2 years old, Expansion is 1 year old and I bought the Elements yesterday.
For Elements people complained about heating and vibration. I copied 252GB from Expansion to Elements in one go and I found the heating and vibration to be completely under normal limits. Do not forget this is not a SSD that it will not vibrate. However in Elements the vibration is more felt (than Passport or Expansion) because of its sleek shape. The internal metal hard drive casing is in direct contact with the external plastic body and there is very minimal damping between the two. This will create no problem at all.
While I was copying, my source drive (Passport) was connected to a USB 2 port and the destination drive (Elements) was connected to USB 3 port. I found the transfer speed was a continuous 30MB/sec. [I was copying 252GB in 952 items]
My other experience:
Build quality of Expansion is worst among these 3. Even the internal hard drive is cased within a plastic body which makes this the lightweight among these 3.In build the best is Passport.
I suggest go for WD My Passport.
Check the cord on a USB 3.0 port
By Abhishek Subramaniamon
Check the cord on a working USB 3.0 port as soon as you buy it.
I got one with a defective cord that worked fine on USB 2 but did not work on USB 3
Since I did not have a USB 3 port at the time I could not check it.
Trying to get it exchanged now.
Will review the comment as soon as something is done about it.

fake discount
By Ninad Waghmareon
ordered this product 1 month back and i got it for 4500 without any discount. now they are giving it away at 4300 @ 45%.
How genuine is that..
guys trust me this discount is not genuine.
Good Looking, Compact and Fast.
By Avishek Deyon
Ordered the product on 15th July and received on 17th July, so thanks flipkart for their excellent service.
As it is WD Element, so I have compared it with WD My Passport, and found these differences.
1. The dimension of my WD Element is 111 x 82 x 15 mm whereas dimension of WD My Passport is 111 x 82 x 19 mm, So WD Element is quite slicker than WD My Passport.
2. Weight of WD Element is 130 gm whereas weight of WD My Passport is 194 gm, So WD Element is lighter than WD My Passport.
So in both this case WD Elements wins over WD My Passport.
3. WD Elements comes with only one color that is Black, but WD My Passport comes with 4 different colors (Black, Blue, Red, Silver).
4. WD My Passport has Password protection and hardware encryption facility where as WD Elements doesn't have so.
So WD My Passport wins over WD Elements here.
Now choose the model among this two by your own requirements.
Also in My Passport review section I have found that, some user complained about vibrating issue and heating issue.
But in last few days I have transfer 20-25 GB files at once several times but doesn't found any vibrating issue and not at all any heating problem.
So I am very much satisfied with this product and recommending it to my friends if they are not interested about Password protection and hardware encryption facility.
The only problem what I have found is that the transfer cable is very much short only 15inch(I think).
