    Got a wonderful deal on this SSD hard drive which I am using on my iMac 27" home computer. I replaced an old Seagate 1TB that was going out. I love the reliability of this Western Digital back up with no moving parts. I highly recommend going SSD! Thanks Best Buy!

    I use several portable hard drives for dj'ing music. This is my first 1TB SSD and I am amazed how fast I was able to transfer my music. I wish I would have bought the 2TB but this will work for now.

    Using with my PS4. No issues with installation or operation. I had a power outage in which the PS4 wasn't shutdown gracefully (meaning the drive was in sort of a limbo state), but recovered fine with no lingering issues. I definitely see a speed up in load times.

    I use this everyday at work to move data from one device to another and from older computers to a newer computers. Very impressed with the speed versus a USB stick. Also came in handy when a Mac book user needed to move a presentation to his desktop. The type C connection saved the day. Good product.

    I got this and use it currently for my Xbox 1X, in addition to my Passport Hard Drive. There is a noticeable difference in game loading, uploading and downloading speed. It is worth it for the larger open world games which tend to have a long load screen.

    I like the small size of the product. It is comparable to a iPhone Xs but slightly smaller. It feels premium with a plastic top half. It holds all of my school work keeping my MacBook storage clear for computer updates. Definitely worth the purchase.
