Customer Ratings & Reviews

Small, fast and convenient. It works great to store photos, videos and documents. Get it when it is on sale for half the MSRP.

So far this drive is working great. Backing up my computers was much faster than the standard platter drive I had before. No moving parts! Small compact and very lightweight. Works on M1 Macs

Bought this for my laptop when my old drive was starting to die. Love the portability and reliability. Solid state lets it hold up to moving around. Light weight.

Study, fast and looks nice. I definitely recommend it.

Does what it is supposed to do. Easy set up nice small size- portable

lightweight, compact, fast, easy to use with simple instructions, easy to store

Excellent small and slim profile for an external storage solution. Data speeds are good and provides you with both USB-A and USB-C connectivity.

Good grief! I've been using WD My Passport hard drives for a decade. This is my first external SSD. I moved my Apple Photos library onto it and had the immediate reaction of "where have you been all my life?" The speed difference the added bandwidth provides is kind of unreal. And this drive doesn't even take full advantage of the Thunderbolt speeds my new Mac Mini is capable of. These little drives are great! It looks like WD may be discontinuing them in lieu of their SanDisk SSD drives. I got this one for less than $100 and at that price, it was a steal!

Excellent. Light, quick, and very easy to use. Plug and play.

Light and compact, fast transfer speeds on M1 Mac and easy to use. Gets a little warm after multiple transfers in a short period of time.

Perfect for the traveling creative. Tiny enough to put in back pocket and you don’t know it’s there! Super fast and holds a lot of info

Great drive with fast read and write speeds and nice form factor. Compact and easy to store, small enough to carry in your pocket.

I love the fact that the size is only a little longer, wider, and thicker than a credit card, and it is ready to use without the need of formatting it. However, installation of WD Discovery for windows turned out to be tricky. In the beginning, whenever I tried to install directly from the files that pop up when I connect this WD My Passport SSD to my laptop, it always ended unsuccessful. The problem was solved when I went directly to WD support website, clicked on "need drivers, software, or firmware), scrolled down to find "Installation of WD Discovery for windows", downloaded it, and installed from the file I downloaded. Hope this can help those who has issue with installation.

The easy way to download and save your files, pictures and music from your computer so you don't lose them. Pretty much plug and save your files.

sleek, fast, light and compact. bought it as time machine back up for my macbook air. works well. Never did any bench-marking as I'm never in a hurry. Suits my needs.

So small and easy to carry. Smooth and fast data transfer

This WD My Passport 1TB External USB Type-C Portable SSD fits my needs perfectly! The size of the SSD allows me to easily store it in my jeans pocket or coat and I find myself toting it with me whenever I leave the house. The ability to backup my Samsung Note 20 Ultra remotely is made easier by the quick transfer speeds and ease of use with an OTG cable. I highly recommend this SSD for anyone looking for a small, simple, effective and reliable way to backup your phone while traveling!

This thing is amazing. Love how small it is and extremely fast transfer speeds. Best portable drive I’ve ever purchased.

Good small portable SSD with all the typical passport features such as encryption. You pay a little more than typical SSDs but WD passports is the higher end product (See WD element) with additional features. I didn't test the speed but seems reasonable. Still testing out. Has USB-C to USB-C connection (nice for new computers with mostly/all USB-C ports) plus a USB-C to USB-A adaptor.

Has done its job and then some! The speed is incredible and being able to hook it up to my (fantastic) android phone for quick photo dumping, or to my pc (w/ the included adapter mind you), is phenomenal... Even better when you catch it on sale. Months later and no issues still, so I'm pleased.
