Does this reader read Western Digital Hard Drives?

It reads any drive with a SATA connection. I have also gotten a PATA-to-SATA connector for about $12, and using that I can also read my old PATA hard drives (one of these is a WD caviar blue)

It should work. This reader is not specific toaparticular drive. I used it on Samsung and Seagate drives.

I think so but cant say for sure as I couldnt even get the thing to read a basic caviar green hard drive. spent 6 hrs going through forums to try to get the thing to recognize a simple hdd. piece of crap if u ask me.

It would not read any floppy disks. I did find one at TigerDirect and CDW that works. It is a BYTECC BT-144 and is around $24 at either store.

It should. I'm running Windows XP and used this drive to read some CAD files that I drew years ago. Opened the files fine. I thought it worked really well. Good luck

It has three USB 3.0 ports. I like Western Digital hard drives. Haven't had one fail yet!

Hi Walter. This drive works on 3.5 disks. It worked very well reading my old 3.5 floppies when attached to my iMac and my PC.

I have it used for both types of HD. Basically it allowed me to use hard drive removed from my old PC as an external device. If the HD that you trying ro read is corrupted, than you will not see anything on the screen. Cables are just a link between HD and PC.

I don't know. I am unsure if the adapter I had works properly. Your system sees something, but if you reformat, you will lose the info on the drive.

This device should work to connect your hard drive to another computer o retrieve our data

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

Assuming that your hard drive is not damaged, yes. You will connect this item to your computer via a USB port and be able to read it just like any other external storage device.

Yes, it will read standard HD discs. This is a 1.44MB disc. There were other disc formats that look like standard HD discs but they held as much as 120MB and they will not work in this drive.

I use this reader exclusively on Windows 7 in a USB 3.0 port. It works well and fast. If your having a problem it may be your particular unit.

Yes. The adapter I received is compatible. However, it was not the same as what is pictured. I have recently purchased a new bigger Western Digital drive and the adapter that came with it is the same as what I was sent.

I've used the reader on Win7, XP and Vista, and it works fine. I have not tried it on Win8.
