    Unbelievably fast and rugged. Connected to my new computer via USB-C and transferred WAY faster than my disk based external drive.

    WD - My Passport 500GB External USB Type-C Portable Solid State Drive is a nice addition to the excellent My Passport product line. I owned a number of My Passport drives - Essential Edition, Elite Edition and Essential SE for Mac. The drives help me to transfer and backup precious files and data.

    I use this external SSD to do a full backup of my MacBook Pro. I find it convenient that it comes with a short USB type C cable so I don't have to wind and carry around a long cable. It works great with Time Machine and transferring my backup from my old MacBook Pro to my new one painless.
