Positive feedback also mentions the ample storage capacity and convenient connectivity options. However, some users have noted concerns regarding heat generation and occasional compatibility issues with certain systems. A shorter-than-ideal cable length was also mentioned as a minor drawback.

    Love the speed...i get between 300-400 MB/s Perfect for pics, movies, and extra drive for XBox Series X or PS5... plays/loads almost as fast from this external drive as games do from internal SSD drive...it'll be nice when the prices come down on these so the higher capacity will be affordable

    I was hesitant to get this as many reviews say they don’t work well with iMac. However since the G-tech similar product is 3 times the cost, I gave the WD a chance and it works perfectly and was simply to format for use with my time machine.

    Bought this little guy to use as a network drive. Setup was very easy making it a public drive on the network to increase our home office storage across multiple devices. Speeds are quick and everything works as if it were a local drive on my machines. Would recommend.

    This little gadget holds so much power. It’s so easy to use, just plug and play. I have it attached to Velcro on the top of my computer so it’s ready to go. It saved my items in record time and I honestly feel more secure having this SSD instead of the external hard drives I own.

    This thing is super fast and I like that it's nice and small. But the suppled USB Type-C to Type-C cable is way to short and makes using the drive difficult whether it's with my MacBook or my new iMac. It's nice that they've included a USB Type-C to Type-A adapter but it doesn't make up for the way too-short cable. Comon, guys!

    This a great small compact and easy to use external drive. I love that’s it’s a solid state drive. It fits into my laptop bag with ease and it comes with an adapter to plug into my laptop in two different ports.

    Simply the fastest SSD I have ever used. Super fast speeds, small footprint as well and works with both Windows and Mac computers right out of the box. Also, has the encryption and password protection along with the 5 years of warranty for extra peace of mind. Highly recommended
