    I was a little skeptical moving from just an external hard drive to this external solid state drive. It is working flawlessly and opens up a usb port on by computer by going through the USB-C input.

    Ive always used WD drives. But this SSD has its issues with MacOs for some reason. Disconnects without warning which i have never had an issue with HDD drives. Everything else js great though read and write speeds are on point and its form factor makes it easy for the OTG uses. B+

    Ok drive, but a little slow for an SSD.

    I bought this SSD drive because it was on sale and I thought I would give it a try. I've always had success with WD hard drives. Unfortunately, this drive is very slow for an SSD - compared to my other SSD drives (Samsung, Sandisk, etc.). I would recommend going with a different option than this one.

    Pretty quick storage, I got this on sale and it was well worth the price. Using it on my Xbox Series X for storage of non Xbox Series games.

    Glitchy with a MacBook

    I have had trouble with all my SSD drives purchased through WD, including this one. I use a MacBook Pro and these drives tend to stop mounting after awhile and frequently need to be reformatted. They are under warranty and I am working with WD to exchange these or fix the problems. I understand that there have been production problems recently which have since been corrected. If considering purchasing this item, I'd consider purchasing a Best Buy service plan as well.
