    This drive is amazing. The form factor is fantastic, and it is blazingly fast! I wanted a drive to compliment my MacBook Pro and this fit the bill. It has a usb-c cable with very nice adapter for usb-a (regular USB). If you are wanting a nice drive, you've found it!

    The only drawback is that occasionally you might get a defective USB-C to USB 2.0/3.0 adapter that might cause your drive to suddenly eject, but Western Digital is good about replacing these fairly quickly if this happens. I found the drive to be highly reliable.

    I recently purchased this from Best Buy and I am very happy with my decision. I like that it is an SSD and it came with software to back up my PC which is really nice. Very Happy with the product.

    Silver feels like metal but is plastic. Black plastic is very cheap. Easy to take apart. Inside you will find a SanDisk M.2 drive. Drive is fast 550/520 when in a m.2 spot but slower in the enclosure.

    I use the to edit videos instead of using internal hard drives. This allows storage to be freed from my laptop. I dump the files to another external for storage to keep this SSD cleared.

    I'm using this as a storage expansion for my PS4. It works faster than the internal HDD even running across USB. What's not to like?

    The 500GB WD SSD has met all my expectations and needs as a backup for my MacBook Pro. After the initial backup was able to back up 100GB in 40 minutes.

    I like this drive but it would accidentally come unplugged (USB-C) and would take forever to remount. Otherwise fast and reliable.

    A little more expensive than an external hard drive, but I am so sick of hard drives crashing on me. From now on, I will only buy SSD drives.
