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.

    There are a lot more expensive options out there but for basic use this is a great value especially when on sale. I’m using this SSD with my Xbox One X to load game downloads onto and you can definitely see a difference in load time. Specifically on PUBG this really works well to increase the speed at which maps load. I would buy again.

    The drive works great. Unlike other WD drives, it was simple to reformat to store my Photos library on my Mac. I also appreciate the attached cable, as it addresses a common failure point on small portable drives
