Customers are saying

Customers praise the My Passport Go 500GB External USB 3.0 Portable SSD for its ease of use, ample storage, and lightweight, compact design. Many appreciate its speed as an SSD and the convenience of its portability. However, some users find the short cable length inconvenient, and a few mention the capacity as a limiting factor for their needs. The small size is a positive for many but the limited storage is a negative for some.

    Good, fast portable SSD drive at a good price

    I bought this drive to format as an external bootable drive for use with an alternate OS. I could find no information online that indicated the drive was not bootable. After multiple emails & phone calls with WD I was told that the drive is, indeed, not bootable. So it's a nice drive for storing or transferring files but useless for the purpose I bought it for.
