    This is an interesting SSD for both personal and business use. It is very light and a partial metal case which I think makes the device more durable.

    Performs mostly as expected, but in backing up various files/folders on my Win10 PC, some files/folders are not viewable. Probably a Windows permissions issue, but given the primary function of a backup drive, the WD software should anticipate this and provide functionality to see and select any folder regardless of annoying Windows file/folder security "features".

    This is the best SSD drive for the money. I use it for back up and pics and saving personal info and data. It downloaded so quickly. I am very happy. It is so light. I used a little sticky strip and placed it right on my desktop.

    Love this drive. The Thunderbolt 3 connection and ssd is so fast. I was able to back up large amounts of data in a very short time. The Thunderbolt 3 to USB adapter came in handy right away.

    Purchased about a month ago, and use it as a back-up for my desktop. It was very easy to install. Setting up the back-up software was simple as well.

    This product worked very well for me. I previously had a USB mechanical hard drive that began to fail (due to power failures). Using this USB SSD drive avoids most of those problems.

    Drive works as expected. But the backup software would not recognize the drive (even though I could write files to the drives it was clearly properly installed. First line tech support was terrible and it took 2 weeks to get a call back from next level tech support. The Second level support did solve the problem.
