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

    Need this external storage to help with migrating to a new laptop. It is nice and small, making it easy to carry around. The USB C 3.2 Gen 2 interface is nice and fast. I noticed a bit of hesitation when starting to copy a large amount of data, but once it gets going it is very fast.

    Overall, the product worked well with transferring files/documents from my computer to the passport device. The directions provided by the manufacturer were very small and difficult to read and follow, but the work was accomplished.

    Small (compact) SSD portable HD gets barely warm when sending or receiving GB upon GB of files from the computer. Great as a portable backup device, I leave mine plugged into the computer as an external HD to handle archive files. Fast enough data transfer rate to watch a 4K movie stored on the device without any stuttering.

    The WD My Passport 1TB External SSD has been a lifesaver for my work as a graphic designer. It’s super lightweight and portable, making it easy to take everywhere I go. The USB Type-C connection ensures fast transfer speeds, a huge plus when handling large design files. It’s durable and reliable, and it gives me peace of mind knowing my projects are always backed up and accessible. I highly recommend it to anyone needing efficient, portable storage!

    Needed a large capacity storage device to back up Desktop PC for OS reinstallation. Very easy to use. Typically my external storage drives will generate a request to Eject or disconnect if I right click on them. This one does not. I have to shut down the PC I order to disconnect it. Otherwise it works great.
