However, within minutes of use under Windows 7 (64-bit), the drive started to disconnect and reconnect randomly making it almost impossible to use.

I recently bought a WD My Passport 1TB USB 3.0 Portable hard drive, which had an awesome price tag attached for the space it provides.

Please, leave a comment if the firmware works for you with some information of your configuration, a lot of people come here in search for a solution! What is the USB 3.0 controller drivers you are using? Did you downgrade to those I suggest in my post here? Read the release notes and perform the relevant update. Firmware updates for My Passport drives can be found under the WD Support pages, for Windows and Mac, respectively.

This registry fix only inserts a key used by the FL driver to disable the U1/U2 power states I think, but you are using this at your own risk. Insert the fix into your registry, by double clicking it on windows. (c) Download, decompress the Fresco Logic registry fix. I obtained mine from the FL support web page.

(b) Download and install the latest FL USB3 drivers. (a) Upgrade the firmware of your WD Passport via the Firmware Updater. Therefore I find their poor support disproportional to the problems their bugs have caused to unsuspecting users. I must also note that I have emailed Fresco Logic support twice at the beginning of 2014, asking them for information, a fix or comment, but they have not replied, or chose to ignore my email. Note that my drive still disconnected a couple of times, however only when the computer it was attached to was left for hours unattended and certainly not while in use. I have installed it along with the latest Fresco Logic USB3 drivers v3.5.106.0, which seems to work quite well. I have mirrored it here, in case the original file disappears. Both Windows and Mac versions have a USB-A-to-Micro-B cable but the Mac adds a USB-C-to-Micro-B cable too.UPDATE : therealone, a user over at WDC Forums has posted a registry fix that Fresco Logic sent him. It has a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port on the short side and it measures 4.2 by 3-inch. They note that it has a choice of colors, and storage from 1TB-5TB. In 2020, PCWorld reviewed the WD My Passport 5TB model. The WD logo is placed in the top of the right corner of the hard drive. On the surface, there is a rippling texture that runs diagonal from one corner to the center of the device. It has no screws to hold it together and smooth edges, so it wonвЂ™t catch on fabric. According to PCWorld, The design of the hard drive is simple. Another feature of the hard drives is that they donвЂ™t require a power socket but the 'elite editions' have a docking system. My Passports can be identified by their size and shape they look like a passport. They include the Essential Edition, Essential SE Edition, Elite Edition, Essential for Mac, Studio Edition and the Essential SE for Mac.
