Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the ease of use, portability, and solid-state technology of the My Passport SSD. Many appreciate its compact size and lightweight design, although some find the included cable to be insufficiently long. The ample storage capacity is also a plus for users needing to back up important files.

    WD vs SanDisk

    I bought this together with the SanDisk 500 SSD to compare the two and I am definitely happier with the SanDisk because it is less prone to smudging and seems like its a bit more rugged that the WD. The WD it still a nice drive though, you can download the WD Passport software which would be the only pro for this drive over the SanDisk - the software does wonders especially if you use Windows.

    I purchased this drive to allow myself access to a fast drive that would allow me to game on the New Dell AMD laptop I purchased from you. I was more than happy, more surprised the performance gain I received with the combination gain.

    Product works, but I question the long term reliability. The one I purchased turned so hot it would burn your hands. You had to let it cool down before moving it to a pocket or other safe location. Maybe I just had a bad one.

    I like the small rugged case. If the device is kept plugged in for very long, it runs a little warm. Otherwise, I like it.

    My Mac was running out of space due to the amounts of phots and videos I have from traveling. First time buying a hard drive and it’s perfect. So slime and small. Not bulky what so ever and plent of space. Cannot complain.

    It’s compact, fast, and helps my girlfriend manage all of her old computers data. It literally enabled her to run a high powered game off of her computer that due to hard drive space, she couldn’t before.

    Comes with both USB and USB-Type-C port, it transfers at speeds of up to 540MB/sec. Looks very good, packaged well and compared to other brands it is an excellent bargain. 3 year warranty too. Much cooler than the spindle version as another note.

    wanted a external hard drive to store my files with a password protected device and not on the cloud. Works perfectly but it is not faster than the hard My Passport drives which i thought it would be.

    This little WD Passport SSD is great for travel and work! I have a small billing service and need a solid backup so NO information is damaged or lost. This WD-solid state drive is the ONLY type of backup I will use. NO MOVING PARTS to break!
