Awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing portable SSD. I use this for business purposes and just to have extra space for my laptop. Slim profile with built in USB makes for a perfect on the go drive. Only personal gripe is that I wish the cord was just an inch or two longer, although it doesn’t really affect how use it today. Definitely recommend!

Fast and lightweight
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little fellow is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, lightweight, and extremely fast!!! Yes, it might cause a little more than your typical mechanical drives but remember solid-state drives are more reliable and fast. Don't waste your time on other drives and get yourself the WD- My Passport drive for on the go projects.

Does what it's supposed to
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn't realize it was so compact until I picked it up at the store. And I love that it has the USB cable as a permanent attachment, and the cable can be stored away in the cutout on the side of the unit - great idea!

A great way to expand your storage space.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The WD - My Passport Go 500GB External USB 3.0 Portable Solid State Drive more than doubled my existing storage space. I recently purchased a laptop with an 125 GB SSD so this was a great way to expand the available GB. It also comes with a USB 3.0 cord built in, so no worries of misplacing the cord.
