Review: WD 5 TB My Passport Ultra Blue Potable External Drive - I can’t complain about this hard drive at all it’s portable, easy installation, does get hot after being plugged in all day I got 5 TB so storage is unbelievable. It doesn’t make loud noise or any I hear at all and it fits perfectly you can use the c port or use connector that comes with it . Review: 5T storage devide works well with Linux Fedora-33 and Rocky-8 - This product is used to store large data files on both Fedora-33 and Rocky-8 linux systems. They are moved between the two systems allowing machine based access. The NTFS file system just needed to be configured in /etc/fstab, the blkid gave the device location, and then the mount command allowed access to the device so that it acted like any other. They are inexpensive enough that three devices are now attached to the same linux box giving multiple terrabytes of storage. The USB-C connection with adapter gives a quick change between the USB ports of the Rocky Linux USB-A 3.0 ports and the fedora-33 USB-C ports, allowing portable connection to each computer. Access speeds seem higher with the 5T USB-C than with the USB-A devices (e.g. the non Ultra version of the 5T drive). I keep the cable attached to the device at all times. Experience with others has taught me that the connection to the device is direct to the circuit board, so this procedure keeps the connects to a minimum. I do not tug or flex the attaching cables. Three are operated horizontally and one is operated vertically. There does not seem to be any difference in performance between vertical or horizontal operation. Longevity - I have both the 1T and 4T versions which I purchased almost 10 years ago which I use to store pictures (1T) and data files (4T). I started purchasing 5T drives in 2017 and 2018, and again in 2022. All but the 1T device are continually used daily and have had no issues. ## Features - USB-C and USB 3.1 compatible - Innovative style with refined metal cover - Password protection with 256-bit AES hardware encryption - Formatted for Windows - 3-year manufacturer's limited warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07X46C64N | | Additional Features | Hardware Encryption, Portable | | Best Sellers Rank | #40 in External Hard Drives | | Brand | WD | | Built-In Media | Portable hard drive, Quick Start Guide, USB 3.0 cable | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 5 | | Color | Blue | | Compatible Devices | PC | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Package Type | FFP (Flat Free Package) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 5,160 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 2.5 Megabytes Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 5 TB | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Form Factor | 2.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00718037871790 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | USB 3.1 | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 1 RPM | | Hard-Drive Size | 5 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | USB 3.0, USB Type C | | Hardware Platform | Mac, PC | | Installation Type | External Hard Drive | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 4.33"L x 3.21"W x 0.83"Th | | Item Type Name | HDD | | Item Weight | 4.64 ounces | | Manufacturer | Western Digital Technologies, Inc. | | Media Speed | ≤ 625 MB/s | | Mfr Part Number | WDBFTM0050BBL-WESN | | Model Name | My Passport Ultra | | Model Number | WDBFTM0050BBL-WESN | | Number of Items | 1 | | Special Feature | Hardware Encryption , Portable | | Specific Uses For Product | business, personal | | UPC | 718037871790 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 3-year limited warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** WD - **Color:** Blue - **Compatible Devices:** PC - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 5 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 2.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** USB 3.1 - **Installation Type:** External Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** Hardware Encryption, Portable ## Images ![WD 5TB My Passport Ultra, Blue, Portable External Hard Drive, backup software with defense against ransomware, and password protection, USB-C and USB 3.1 - WDBFTM0050BBL-WESN - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A14DWcn1AlL.jpg) ![WD 5TB My Passport Ultra, Blue, Portable External Hard Drive, backup software with defense against ransomware, and password protection, USB-C and USB 3.1 - WDBFTM0050BBL-WESN - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91CvA-cuUxL.jpg) ![WD 5TB My Passport Ultra, Blue, Portable External Hard Drive, backup software with defense against ransomware, and password protection, USB-C and USB 3.1 - WDBFTM0050BBL-WESN - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91QbpnMovOL.jpg) ![WD 5TB My Passport Ultra, Blue, Portable External Hard Drive, backup software with defense against ransomware, and password protection, USB-C and USB 3.1 - WDBFTM0050BBL-WESN - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Mp8eq9G5L.jpg) ![WD 5TB My Passport Ultra, Blue, Portable External Hard Drive, backup software with defense against ransomware, and password protection, USB-C and USB 3.1 - WDBFTM0050BBL-WESN - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91W5ht43OHL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How is it different from other WD drives sold for 99$?** A: The 99 dollar models transfer on my computer at around 90 MB sec, bought this USB-c model without realizing it was different, only transfers at 35 MB sec on same computer, considerably slower for more money, stay away. **Q: What cable will I need to get to connect this to a usb3 port?** A: Requires a USB-C cable. I purchased one for $10 at my local computer store. **Q: Can I boot from this drive on a mac? In other words, is it bootable?** A: Yes, if you format the drive in Mac native format, and use a clone application like Bombich Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC), the external drive should be bootable on your Mac. You have to have macOS copied over, for it to be bootable. You hold down the option key when booting, to get a boot device selection menu during the boot. **Q: Good to use with a crome pixelbook (chrome os) ?** A: The short answer is YES. You will need to format the external hard drive through your files (blue) folder. However, before doing that, connect the external drive to your USB port and try to save a file to the hard drive. If it works fine, then you don't need to reformat. Hope that helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WD 5 TB My Passport Ultra Blue Potable External Drive *by T***X on April 6, 2026* I can’t complain about this hard drive at all it’s portable, easy installation, does get hot after being plugged in all day I got 5 TB so storage is unbelievable.

Very happy that USB-C is starting to appear as an option on portable hard drives. I have owned the old style metallic Passport 5TB and the WD Elements 5TB and for me this is the best one yet. The good: - Huge 5TB capacity in a pretty small footprint. This drive is about the same size as the older Passport and Elements drives. The blue color makes it look a little slimmer. - USB-C to USB-C transfer rates steadily above 130MB/s for large files. - The USB-C cable includes a compact USB-A adapter so you can still use this with older computer ports giving full flexibility. - Comes bundled with a very slim software installer for PC and Mac. I don't use the software but generally save it somewhere in case I need it before formatting the drive. Older passport used to include upwards of 500MBs of this software but these new installers are only a few MBs. The not as good. - The included cord is pretty short, It would be nice to have a little bit longer. - The drive is no smaller than previous generations. I guess this is as small as spinning 5TB drives are going to get, now that SSD prices are coming down. Can't wait to get a 5TB SSD in this price range! - The price is generally 10-30% higher than the older Passport. I don't know that the USB-C interface and faster transfers justify the higher end of that pricing. I can't comment on longevity as I've only used the drive for a week, but so far it is fast, quiet and stable. I've always found WD drives to be reliable, but I never keep a drive in service longer than 2 years and always have a backup. I hope this one will be as reliable as my past WDs. ## Frequently Bought Together - WD 5TB My Passport Ultra, Blue, Portable External Hard Drive, backup software with defense against ransomware, and password protection, USB-C and USB 3.1 - WDBFTM0050BBL-WESN - Lacdo Hard Drive Carrying Case for Western Digital WD Elements/WD My Passport/My Passport Ultra Portable External Hard Drive HDD 1TB 2TB 4TB 5TB 6TB USB 3.0 Protective Storage Travel Bag, Black - UGREEN 10 Gbps Micro B to USB C Hard Drive Cables, 1.5FT USB C to Micro B, External Hard Drive Cable Compatible with MacBook Pro/Air, iPad/Tablet, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S24, WD Seagate etc --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/162098803-wd-5tb-my-passport-ultra-blue-portable-external-hard-drive](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/162098803-wd-5tb-my-passport-ultra-blue-portable-external-hard-drive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
