    Wow. So much storage in something that fits in my shirt pocket. SSD is definitely the way to go. Wanted to stick with a known manufacturer..Western Digital

    Works great. I am an entry-level developer and need to always have a copy on me at all times. With this product I not only get to walk around with my code in a small portable form, it is also password encrypted so I don't have to worry about other people accessing my work.

    Very easy setup and very handy for carryon. The size is like a credit card and doesn’t get hot as other brands

    I was surprised when this arrived in the mail - it is much smaller than I thought it would be! Barely larger than the size of a business card, yet is super fast. Can easily put it in my bag without worry of it being too bulky.

    The portable hard drive was a lot smaller than I had expected, but that made it easy to carry around! Great to also have a lot of storage capacity.

    Maybe I got the one out of several thousand that fails for no apparent reason. It worked great before failure. Data copies over to it extremely fast. Cost effective when on sale. I kept it plugged in to my iMac 24/7 and was never concerned because it never felt too warm to the touch. Usually shut the computer off a few times a week to give everything a break, but apparently this drive didn't like that. It just disappeared from my system randomly and now won't show up. I've tried 3 different USBC cables and tried it on my MacBook Air as well. Nothing will recognize it, and now almost half a terabyte of data is gone. Thankfully most of it backed up (this is why you make backups of your backups), but... not sure I'd trust this particular device again for my use case.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    My wife uses this to backup graphic designs and photos. It’s the size as an old school iPod Touch and it’s fast and easy to use. I did buy it as a Black Friday deal so I don’t know if I would recommend it at full price.

    Bought to to use with my new xbox series x and it works great. The speed is amazing but only works with xbox one and older games, not the ones made for the series x specifically. A lot smaller than I expected in a good way. Transfer are as advertised

    Bought to have an external back up of pictures. The included software makes importing from Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive very simple. Tiny drive for the size, price was good (bought on sale), the transfer speed is much better than others due to using USB C.

    Use this as an external game drive on a PS4. Very fast load speeds, plenty of storage space...games seem to load more quickly with this than on my console's internal HDD. FYI--it gets slightly warm to the touch during extended use.
