Small, fast, rugged SSD drive for traveling stuff. Only issue is that the provided cable is very short - like 4 inches total. It does include a USB-C to USB-A adapter, dual ended.

Used to back up my aunt's old computer. Easy peezy plug and play and good to go. It's small and unobtrusive; it's a great buy, or should I say..a best buy!

This drive is very thin and light, perfect for traveling in a small laptop bag. It is fast. I get 1000MB/s with it connected to a fast USB C 3.2 port on either my laptop or my desktop. I use it to transfer files between my desktop and my laptop - mostly photos and videos. I also use it to do backups of my laptop. I like it so much that I bought a second one. I got them at a great sale price!

WD has always been a trusted name in storage, and this portable SSD mostly lives up to that reputation.
Pros:
Fast performance with solid read and write speeds
Ample 2TB storage capacity
Reliable for everyday data transfers and backups
Cons:
Occasionally hangs when transferring very large files
A few minor issues experienced when unplugging the device
Overall:
A dependable portable SSD that delivers on speed and capacity, with only a few small quirks. Good value for the performance it offers.

This is a mighty machine! Wife takes a ton of pictures as a photographer as well as of our kiddos and needed more secure storage for them all.

Great with troublesome Time Machine caveats

With MANY caveats, this is an extremely useful upgrade to My Passport Ultra HHD. The form factor, weight, warranty and USB-C connection is worth the $$$. While the HHD from 2016 is still going strong, it is an HHD and the Time Machine Back Ups I've been using it for do have a lifespan if the HHD fails; which they can and will. The Passport is a SSD so Read & Writes are faster, no vibrations, will last significantly longer and comes with 5 year warranty instead of the 3 year with the ULTRA.
The SSD doesn't get as warm as the HHD due to no moving parts, and can slip into your pocket with ease.
CAVEATS as noted: My Mac Pro Intel using Disk Utility took many attempts to erase and format to Mac OS Extended Journaled and then APFS for Time Machine Backups. Received consistent Failed attempts. Took many partitioning adjustments, Mac restarts, unplugging Passport and attempts to finally get a viable automatic backup available but this Passport finally succeeded. While I would recommend whole heartedly for use with a Mac or Pc as a backup or drive extension; if you want to use for Time Machine, I hope you have an easier time than I...
Another word of caution, this SSD comes with some Paragon software which you don't need and I'd advise not to use as it's not ready for Monterey but can be used in pre OS's.

Excellent device. Used to backup data files from a corrupt account on Windows 11. Super fast and easy to use. However the cord is very short.

Fast as described, small, and portable. Only downside is it gets fairly hot when running large imports and exports. Other than that its a solid drive! I think ill go back to my Sandisk Extreme Pro next time though, it doesnt get as hot.

Device is fast (as advertised) and will provide the storage I need to back up my photos, music and other important documents I have. I like the small foot print it has and the USB-C connection as well.

I needed a small SSD drive to hold my recovered photos from a previous HDD failure. It small, light, and very fast. I haven't had it for long, but it's doing the job. Always backup your important memories.

I haven't had this for too long but it's so far a nice reliable device. It's compact with a lot of storage. And fast! I transferred 200 GB to it in 7 minutes. I was blown away.
