    This specific model WD - My Passport for MAC 4tb usb3.0 portable hard drive is a physical drive, not ssd, It works great, purchased to store photos and videos on. I specifically purchased this external drive for MAC because it was plug and play, I did NOT have to reformat the drive to work with my MAC like some of the other WD - My Passport drives. IMPORTANT: You will want to make sure you know which macOS you are running as the box stated compatible with macOS 10.13+ (i.e. High Sierra). The manual stated you may have to reformat the drive for older macOS'.

    I had to return it. It failed partially within a week. I think it was just a bad apple because I have several of these drives and none has ever failed on me. It's a bit slow. for video editing but ok for storage.

    Works well as my backup drive. This is certainly fast enough for me even for everyday use. But, if you would like a faster drive for your everyday use look at Western Digital SSD drives.
