Will this work with a 160gb WD passport 2.0 external hard drive?

This is just an adaptor, it will work for USB 2.0 or 3 devices, however make sure the device you want to plug the WD passport into, is able to power the passport. Basically the WD passport draws it power from the PC to work. Some tablets might not be able to provide enough power to run the WD passport, only smaller usb sticks.

Your phone will see ur passport and u can upload or download files from ur hard drive or phone. Your phone will use its file explorer to download or upload files. One issue which is not the fault this wire is that sometimes the file explorer does not recognize the hard drive and you have to use other file explorer to take care of your needs. I hope this helps.

I have not attempted myself a large HDD/ SSD. I can tell you that it works with a 32Gb flash drive. If I remember correctly, other users have tested the cable with HDDs and it worked.

No it does not work with any external HD, works with flash memory up to 16gb

I use a WD portable drive and it works well with this USB hub. (I did not try with more than one external drives.)

As this is made for the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex it has a cable with USB connections and an adapter to SATA. The Western Digital Passport has Mini USB, but the model called My Passports looks like it has the same flat USB 3.0 socket, so in that case you just need this. http://amzn.com/B005K6G7BU

Short answer yes. Really depends on what and how you want to back something up. This is only 160 GB and it is internal. I would choose an external 1 TB for a back up. I use two of these WD drives in a server as a raid 1 mirror.

Hi Serguei, I have only 750GB and 1TB WD My Passport, the rugged case fits both of them. I have no idea that it will fit 2TB WD My Passport.

YES, It has worked fine for me since purchasing both the Nomad hard case and the WD My Passport Ultra 2TB (same model as question).The Nomad come with rubber spacers, both for a secure fit & that can be removed for some larger drives. The Nomad has an opening for connecting the drive to your device, PC, Mac, server, etc.; this drive is configured so you can use that opening...so you never have to open the case to access it.This is a great combo! I simply don't understand WD no longer offering such a sturdy case.

actually it does. I used it for a passport external. I needed a 9vdc. And it works on other Ext Hdd's as well. Hope this helps.

I use it for iomega slim drive. But technically should work with any portable hard drive, as long as pin fits.

I actually have the WD My Passport for Mac 1TB and it is functional with OS X Yosemite (version 10.10.1). I back up my MacBook Pro approx. every ten days.

It should. Hub is a 3.0 and also handles 2.0. Mine is a 1 tb wd. It works great.

Do the external drives to be connected to the hub have their own power source? If they are intended to run off of the power of the hub, you may have problems. This is my speculation based on the note under the product description stating the product should not be used with WD passport hard drives. I have several of those, each 1TB, and they run off the power of the hub. Currently, they are plugged into USB 2.0 ports, but they are USB 3.0 compatible products used as "backwards compatible," and run very slowly with USB 2.0, but they run. With USB 3.0, there is evidently a reason they are not supposed to be used. So, I would say it depends on whether the external hard drives have their own power source and, specifically, if they are WD passport drives, the product information I saw said they should not be used with this hub.

This will fit any USB 3.0 device. I believe all current WD Passports are USB 3.0 devices. So, if you have a current WD Passport, this will fit. The Passport comes with a cord that is short, and flimsy (many reported connectivity problems.) This is an excellent alternative, flawless connection over many months of constant use,in my personal experience. And it gives you the option of placing your external drive more than a foot or so from your computer, if you so desire.... I hope this helps.

I got 60+ Mb/sec when transferring huge files to the WD Passport 2Tb drive with USB 3.0

There's something wrong with the size description of the WD 2TB My Passport Studio on the Amazon web page. I have one and it measures roughly5" x 3-3/8" x 1". I'm going to give it a shot. I'll re-post if it doesn't work out.

Need more information ... do the USB ports on the card work with hardware other than your WD Passport?
