    I bought this to run Time Machine on IOS Catalina before upgrading to Big Sur eventually. Great. Faster than spinning HD.

    Quiet, light, and good read-write performance. I bought this because it's much less vulnerable to being dropped than a mechanical HD.

    Using this SSD to backup my HP computer. I had to use Acronis WD software which works great because the WD Backup software that came with the drive did not work with Windows 11. Hopefully, WD will provide updated software soon.

    I only buy WD now. There was a YouTuber I watched once that had a corrupted HD. WD offered to repair his stuff… that’s amazing. Customer service and quality for me all day long. Their guarantee makes me feel warm and fuzzy but their products are so good I doubt many people have to use it.

    So fast. Can't go back to spinning drives. SSDs are pricier but so worth it when you save so much time backing up your system.

    This is my *GO TO* external SSD. I also bought two Sandisk 1TB equivalent SSDs, elsewhere. Anyways, this Western Digital model *ALWAYS* has at least FIVE TIMES FASTER Write-Time's than the Sandisk, across all my computers (Mac, Dell linux laptop, Chromebook, Dell Win10-pro laptop) Both are excellent Read-Time's (WD is noticeably faster than SanDisk Read Times as well.)

    I bought this at the same time as a SanDisk Extreme 1TB External USB-C NVMe Portable SSD. This drive is the prettier, more fashionable of the two, but I prefer the look and form factor of the SanDisk. These two drive must have the same insides because they test out nearly identically in drive speed tests. They're so similar they even have the same packaging inside the box. And I mean *identical*. Can't go wrong with either.
