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.

    The drive built in to my Xbox console struggles to keep up and leads to extended load times. This external drive made a huge difference.

    Not too happy with this. I bought it to use with my Mac as an external storage device. It kept getting hot, but I read that that's a thing with external SSDs. Then last week it decided to only work for maybe a minute or two then stop. I'm not too happy about that since most of what I had backed up to it wasn't backed up anyplace else. With some luck, I was able to get off of it what I had put on it. I RMAd it, it was accepted, and shipped it off. We'll see what happens with the replacement.

    Easy to carry. Fast and reliable. Lightweight. You get latest C cable and a usb A adapter. I felt the performance is less if you use it with a adapter. I am using my go pro usb 3.0 to usb c cable and it works great.

    This thing works well, but honestly, people made it seem like getting one of these would make everything lighting fast, when honestly it didn't. I found adding RAM, and putting in an internal SSD to be more worthwhile.

  • Love it
