Pc Not Recognizing External Hard Drive Windows 10

Worked great. I had a problem, with Windows 10 recognizing the drive, but that's a MS problem. Bought an SSD dock and it's rockin anddd it's basically turns it into a portable 2TB ssd. Lovin it!

No fuss on a Windows PC, excellent hard drive!

I use this cable to connect to external hard drives. Firm grip between pc and hard drive.

Had to replace old external hard drive for back up. The Passport fit seamlessly into my new Windows 7 program without any set up and my data was backed up in short order. It is so compact and convenient with the best price that I found on the internet

Using it as a backup hard drive for my windows PC. Works great and I love it Western Digital is always my go to for this type of storage

Windows Media Center PC in a low profile case only had 1 slot for a 3.5 hard drive. I wanted to store my recorded TV (PVR) to a larger capacity hard drive but maintain my Windows 7 to a smaller SSD. This was the ideal way to get both the SSD and larger laptop hard drive into 1 space.

Lots of room. No problems with my computer quickly recognizing it (unlike numerous other external hard drives I've used). Use them for long-term travel so the rugged body provides peace of mind. At this price, for this capacity and ease of use, it was well worth getting a second one in order to be sure many TBs of video and photo files are safely backed up.

I had trouble with Yosemite recognizing this external drive.Others have had this same problem with a variety of external drives with this OS as I subsequently found out searching the internet.The activity light would come on but it did not show up in Finder as a device or on the desktop.Kext Utility 2.6.1 was suggested as a remedy but I could never get a download unassociated with a lot of software I did not need.I left the WD My Passport 3 TB attached to my Apple MacBook Pro attached x 24 hours and for reasons entirely unknown to me,it was recognized and is working fine now.From searching the internet, this is not a unique experience. Hopefully,no further problems with the drive & Yosemite.

I use this hard drive to backup my pictures and data. It easily mounts on my Windows 10 computer at home and is easy to use.

I've used this device for over a year. I used it pretty hard when I first got it. It was a drive for a Windows 10 IoT install on a Raspberry Pi 4 for almost 2 months. The drive still writes data at around 230 MB/s and reads at almost 380 MB/s consistently. On USB 2, it starts at around 300 MB/s but slows down to 6.7 MB/s and stays there for the rest of the transfer. This is a solid USB drive. Best one I've used so far.
