Positive feedback also mentions the ample storage capacity and convenient connectivity options.

    I love how small this SSD drive is. I've had an external WD HDD My Passport before, and I've been very happy with it. The only downsides were its lower speed and vulnerability to shock. Both issues are now solved!

    I was amazed at how easy it was to use the product. In one overnight session it backed up all my files. It can slip into my pocket so I can carry my files around easily. Very light and small. I am amazed by it.

    I would have given it a 5 but it wasn't intuitive once I figured it out it worked great. it was also easy to retrieve the files.

    Impressively small. My phone reveals its entire capacity as an attached USB device. I bank on Western Digital for quality, and I am expecting this to last. Highly recommend.

    This 1 T--SSD external hard drive works perfectly and is extremely sturdy. I also like the small size so that it fits easily into my laptop case with the laptop in it. WD-My Passport makes a good product and I would buy it again.

    With our laptop today it is nice to have backups with lots of space. Drive was very easy to format for windows or mac computers. Gives the extra space needed when transferring old laptop to new.

    Used it to transfer data from a failed Samsung 970 SSD. transferring to the drive (2TB of stuff) took forever- but I believe that was due to the Samsung's failure, because transferring everything to the new drive only took 9mins.

    This SSD is so thin and small, which makes it ideal for someone who need storage on the go or while traveling. I’ve been archiving my photos and it’s been awesome.
