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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    I bought this to use as my backup drive. While it transfers information quickly, it tends to get really hot to the touch, which evokes in me the fear that it will fail.

    I bought this SSD when Best Buy had a sale online. I went to the San Rafael store and found that it was available in store. An agent helped me to find it very quickly with the information I had from the Website. So, I bought it right away and brought home to use it. This product is very user friendly and very quiet in operation. I like it and was glad to get it at a good price.

    Main reason I got it...I wanted Destiny 2 to load faster. And booooy does it. Load times are cut at least in half across the board. Haven’t noticed too much of a difference in the other few games I’ve installed. If you play D2 on 1X, I highly recommend. (Almost any SSD honestly)

    Bought it to replace 2nd SSD in a laptop to store large instrument libraries for live theater. In performances I change sounds frequently in the middle of songs and I can't have any lag loading samples. Connected to my laptop's USB-C port it's as fast as my old drive was & it lets me swap my libraries to my backup laptop quickly if something goes south with my main rig.

    Installation was easy. Utilities included on the drive. Plug it in to a USB port and go. One strange issue I have is that the included backup software can't find the drive even though Win 10 assigned a drive letter. The drive is usable with my Norton backup but not with the WD backup. I am in the process of sending my MS Surface in to be serviced so it was important that I get a full backup done. The Norton backup completed the entire C: drive in under 2 minutes. Included cable is a little short but shouldn't be a problem as long as the USB C connection holds.
