Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the portability, size, and overall performance of the My Passport 1TB External USB Type-C Portable SSD, with many praising its compact design and fast speeds. Positive feedback also mentions the ample storage capacity and convenient connectivity options.

    Bought this for my Xbox Series X to store Xbox One games on. Pretty fast drive and small enough to hide, can't even see it sitting behind my console.

    This drive is serving my purpose well. Needed to replace an HDD for back up of certain files. The old drive suffered a failure and this is working great. Too bad I could not register it, the site threw me off each time I tried. Hope it doesn't quit.

    Bought for my college daughter to run Time Machine backup on her MacBook Air. Fully compatible with Mac. Easy to connect and format. Older daughter has been using the same SSD for two years without any issues.

    I had to buy an external drive for one of my classes and this seemed like a solid option. It is fast, has a good amount of storage, and works seamlessly with both my Mac and Windows computers. It’s incredibly light and thin, so it takes up almost no space which is helpful when you’re carrying a laptop and just want to slide something in your bag. I like the short cable because I know where the drive is on my desk!

    These make it so much easier than the heavier external disks. Been able to use with My PC or Tablet without any problem. Great for a quick backup instead of using the cloud.

    This external storage is a perfect way to store my photos! It frees up space on my new iMac and integrated seamlessly. Access is easy, literally 2 clicks!

    I've purchased two of these separated by a few weeks. They both have been flawless. I cannot speak to transfer rates as that's a don't-care for me during normal operations. One is being used for backups and the other for a database that is being continually updated. They are always connected to my computer but not being stressed under load in normal operations. Only 4 stars because I've only had them a couple of months so cannot address reliability other than surviving very short term failure. I am not using the application support that is included as I immediately reformatted both drives. So I cannot speak that support.

    My laptop is not fit for gaming especially since it only has 118gb. I purchased this drive mainly for Sims 4 and it hasn’t failed me. It’s affordable, has ridiculous storage capacity, and took no effort to set up.

    Using on an M1 Mac Mini to hold a large database. Speeds are as advertised and works great. Seems be almost as fast as the built in SSD. Small and compact so it is easy to keep out of the way. Invested in a longer cord because the one supplied is very short.

    I bough it for a present, it worked vey well for a backup and, in comparison of a traditional HDD the speed was very notorious when reading about 100 GB in both, SDD took like 2 mins, while HDD 6 min

    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.

    I purchased this to use with my PS5 to store my PS4 games on. Initially it would not format. After a restart of the system, formatting worked for extended storage use. PS4 games load much faster than my regular hard drive on PS4. I use the front USB-C port on the PS5 to connect.

    Solid state is the way to go. This drive is so much more compact than the usual WD external drives I have gotten in the past. Plus it is much faster. I feel more confident with this lasting longer. I've had external hard drives die in the past losing data.

    By "portable", they really mean portable! I can't believe how small this thing is. And being an SSD with a USB-C interface, it's way faster than my old desktop mechanical external drives. And kudos to WD for including a USB-A adapter if you need one. So far, so good!
