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.

    Much smaller than I though. So easier to store in my bag. Quick upload and download speeds. Primarily using this to store files and access via my iPad pro. No complaints, I'm very satisfied. Does get warm when plugged in but nothing that should cause alarm.

    I don't yet have USB 3.1 as an option, but even with 3.0 I am getting very fast read and write speeds. The size is great however the length of the included USB cord is crazy short. Unless you have it hanging, it may not work in a lot of situations.

    Great SSD but frustratingly short USB-C cable.

    The drive is very fast and small which I like. However the cable is very short and unless used on a laptop you're going to be left with a dangling SSD which isn't good for the ports on my TV or on my computer tower. The Passport External HDD comes with a cable at least a foot longer than the little 6" one this external SSD comes with.

    I love that this one has a type-C cable so it is easy to use with newer computers with just type-C ports. It is also very light and small that it is easier to bring around. It also has an adaptor for the normal USB ports, very functional.

    This SSD dive has worked out great!! Since I've been scanning lots of 35mm slides to archive them, saving them on this device is a no brain-er. Its small size takes no room in my work space. I just could not be more happier with it.
