Customer Ratings & Reviews

It certainly is not the fastest external SSD you can buy, but if you don't need extreme speeds, and still want something speedy with good reliability, then this is a good option. I use it with my Pop OS Linux machine to store and transfer files and it works great. It also works well with Windows and Mac if you format it for those devices. I have had no issues with this device so far, and it comes with an adapter if you want to use it on a USB-A port. Not much to say here, it works, it isn't the fastest, but it is speedy, and 1TB is decent enough for storing copies of your files.

Love this SSD!!! Very small compact hard to believe the performance and amount of storage all in this little device. Highly recommended performs fast and efficient, no overheating issues, great all around. Huge plus comes in my favorite color blue also. Got mines with a nice discount on sale also !!!! Just plug and play very easy to use!

This drive is physically tiny, much smaller and lighter than I had expected and it's super fast! I backed my entire MacBook up in only a few minutes whereas my previous external drive was telling me 3+ hours and it was not the first time I had used it to back up. Great high speed choice, highly recommend!

First of all I'm using this as extra memory for a PS5, so I'm assuming that it works perfectly fine for a PC or Mac product. The WD My Passport is great, it is compatible with my PS5 and has no issue being reconfigured by the console to use as extra storage. I'm using it to hold all my digital PS4 games and am saving my main storage for PS5 games. I haven't seen any issues with it since I've gotten it, all my games load up perfect and super fast. If WD gets on the list of approved internal memory expansions I might just end up buying that as well.

This drive is perfect for slipping into a compact laptop or tablet bag, and pairs well with the iPad Pro with the USB-C connector. I appreciate the shorter cable that comes with it so that when it's on my desk next to my laptop, I don't have excessive cord laying around. It's fast, and seems to be pretty reliable.

Overall this has been a good drive. However, it has a tendency to overheat and throttle at times. I think it is related to the USB cord that is used. The one it came with often has problems when moving large files. Recommend using another cable.

The external hard drive is amazing and has a very fast data transfer rate. I used this to take my social media files off my computer to save space on my hard drive. It is lightweight and small like a cell phone. It can be mistaken for a cell phone. It also comes with the USB-C cable, but the cable is extremely short. It is also password protected. Overall I’m very happy with this item and I would definitely recommend it to others. I have not had any issues with this.

After discovering that if you drop an external hard drive 1 time on a hard floor you loose your back up I switched to solid state drives. I own 5 solid state drives all are western digital. Any of them will fit in a shirt pocket. Unlike thumb drives they are really fast. They are not just a memory stick they have electronics which gives them their speed . When you plug this in for the first time management software will load on your computer from the drive. It will do stuff like let you set up encryption if you want it. After that just plug it in and you can see the drive in explorer. It works just like an internal drive. This is easy to use. They are tough, you can haul them around or drop them and they still work. The price for 512 GB or 1TB is very reasonable and big enough for most users. WD quality is great. If I need another drive tomorrow I will get another WD ssd from Best Buy. Of the 5 drives I have I like the looks of this one the best. I would and have recommended these to a friend.

Used to back up MacBook, iMac, and MacMini. Easy set up. Works seamlessly with Time Machine. A solid value.

Thin, feels durable, but runs hotter than I would have thought. The cable also had a twist in it so the drive wouldn't lay flat on the table next to my notebook. I was able to 'twist' the cable, and it works perfectly, but the heat is surprising. It seems hotter towards the cable plug end of the unit. Hmm. But it's fast, and really small for the capacity.

Extremely fast, compact and portable, weighs like a feather

Super lite weight and compact smaller than a cell phone, easy to work , fast download

purchased this to back up a new MacBook air with USB-C ports. This is very light weight and compact, the transfer is much, much faster than my previous USB-A external drive. Highly recommend if your computer has USB-C ports.

Using this on my PS5 for more storage no problems works great. Recommended!

So small and so fast! Love the USB 2.0 to 3.0 converter. Makes it easy to find a port! Using USB 3.0, this little thing is like lightning! It does get a little warm, although I was using it to store a live SQL database!!

Works great. Holds a ton of pics and documents. Would buy again

Very fast, reliable, and most importantly, durable in cases of accidentally dropping on the floor!

This little drive packs a punch. Fast transfers, compact design, and it’s USB-C ready—perfect for my laptop. I’ve been using it for backup and video editing, and it hasn’t let me down. Plug-and-play with no hassle. Great buy!

It is very fast and works well. It does get a bit hot to the touch when doing large transfers, but I don't think that is a problem. I like how much faster it is than regular hard disk based external drives

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