    My first External SSD. I got this as an impulse buy... However, this takes up less space in my laptop bag and I don't think I will flip out as bad if I drop it. Using this for work...

    Perfect Portable SSD Drive

    This was my first SSD purchase. I've always liked WD products, and this one is no different. I like it so much, I went back to Best Buy and purchased the 1TB model of this drive!! Between the two drives, I have no worries the data I'm retrieving from a geographically remote isolated computer will be safe and will reach my processing computer without a problem!

    I've had this device for over a year now with zero issues. I load file after file onto it and I still have ample space. This is a great option to back up files in case online storage is full, gets hacked, etc. I always prefer multiple ways of storage and am super pleased with this as an option. Would 100% buy again.

    We needed a new backup drive and wanted something that was less likely to fail due to moving parts. This drive happened to be on sale and at a time when we needed it so we got it. Setup was a breeze and scheduling nightly backup was easier than using the Windows version. So far, we couldn't be happier with our choice.

    512GB isn’t huge; but if you’re not moving a lot of audio, hi-res pics or video, this could be for you! Having fast, portable storage, (or even being able to make applications portable), is no small thing these days. Expensive for size? A bit. But the concept of “fast enough for apps”...? Yes Please!

    I ended up buying two different brands of the portable SSD drives because I needed 1TB of storage and my local store only had two different 512GB options in stock. I was going to return one, but ended up keeping it to use for back ups! Nice that the adapter for older USB connections in included in the package.

    Works as expected - very fast to transfer files and completely fill the whole drive. Works just like a USB memory stick. Only downside is the slick silver texture picks up oils from your fingers.

    This portable hard drive is awesome! I use if for my MacBook Pro and iMac to save all my picture libraries, and my work documents from windows through parallels. It works seamlessly between Mac and Windows. Lighting fast at downloading everything I need. Totally worth the money!
