    Very fast but quite small! I was surprised at how quick this was while very small and light! Makes for a easily portable drive although I do have some concerns over the strength of the outer cover.

    So very easy to use! My laptop was hacked so I got this to transfer my "good" data before wiping my hard drive. It not only transferred my files but scanned them to assure I was not copying the malicious files!

    WD is my preferred brand for external storage units. The easystore 1 TB External 3,0 portable unit is now my favorite. The enormous storage capacity and the physical small unit size is very practical. The plug and play feature makes it so very easy to use. Because of the large capacity I was able to consolidate two older storage units in one. Can only highly recommend it.

    Drive is very light and compact, smaller than a coaster. Cable is included and sufficient length. Had no issues connecting it. Purchased small carrying case for it and it fits with no issues.

    It gets a bit warm when transferring files so I purchased a portable fan for it. Other than that, works as it should! Small enough to easily fit in my laptop case along with all the USB cables and other accessories.

    This little (in size) hard drive is small and easily portable. I downloaded a ton of things to backup onto this drive and for the 90 gb of data, it handled the transfer very smoothly and quickly. It plugs in and is ready to go. I would definitely recommend this easystore SSD!

    Using it to backup videos I’ve made from old 8MM tapes. Easy to use, computer always recognizes it. I also connect it to USB port on TV and play videos directly from the drive…works great for me. Fast data transfer. Highly recommend it. Was lucky to get it at a sale price…paid like $60.

    So far it has been working great for my uses. I was able to move all my videos, music, pictures, and documents to this SSD. I still have about half of it free so it might take a bit to actually full it up but i like how small and slim it is so i could carry it with me without so much bulk.

    Works wonderfully and is fast. I run all of my Steam and Epic Games Store games from the external hard drive and they all work. Perfect for a computer gamer and can be used with Xbox Series X and S to run Xbox One and 360 games.

    Fast and does the job. I love how small it is. Bought this to archive work files and carry them around and it is dang near perfect. Wish it didn’t have a proprietary connector but I suppose that helps with the speed.
