Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the portability, size, and overall performance of the My Passport 1TB External USB Type-C Portable SSD, with many praising its compact design and fast speeds. 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.

    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.

    Works with Raspberry Pi's without hub!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I own a Raspberry Pi 400 and I'm using this drive to boot and it doesn't need a powered hub telling me this drive doesn't require much current to operate. Most SSD's require an external powered case or a powered hub to operate on a Raspberry Pi computer because of the limit current capability of the USB jacks. The speed is incredible with this incredible little computer. I'm using a Best Buy Insignia USB 3.0 hub on the Pi's second USB 3.0 for other drives and accessories including another 1TB WD That's almost full backing up my old HDD backup drive. Because of backups I have most of my picture and data going all the way back to my Windows 98 computer! Be smart and back up!

    This is a simple to use product, just connect it to us UBS port and you are set to go, and the capacity is great. I was able to move every document from my laptop to the Passport and there was still plenty of storage space. Accessing documents on the Passport was also easy.

    Was looking for a portable SSD that works over usb c with fast performance and this device delivers. When paired with a computer that supports the latest usb standards I am getting very close to the advertised speeds. It does get a little hot especially when writing a lot of data. I’m able to photo and video editing right off the drive. It works with both my windows laptop and MacBook.
