Stylish and Efficient
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The My Passport SSD is a very great device to store files (photos for me) quickly and efficiently. And the colors match my MacBook. The only issue I have with the device is it runs hotter than my 2016 MacBook Pro--and that's saying something! But overall it works very well. The read/write speeds are not what are advertised though. I'm running a very efficient set-up and the highest results I got with the Black Magic speed test were around 250mbps write and 400mbps read. Don't expect RAID speeds or anything, and you'll be good :).

Sweet Back Up SSD
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This SSD is sweet: small, fast, no-hassle back up device. I like the fact it reminds me to plug-in to my laptop and everything happens without me having to click on anything. All done automatically in the background. Plus all of my files are portable to another PC. This SSD fits into my shirt pocket. Light weight. No bulkiness. Sweet!

Works but Runs Hot during File Transfer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this as an external storage for my PS4 (The Witcher 3 needs SSD storage or is almost unplayable). It ran very hot during the intial transfer of games from the PS4 (about 240 gigs) but once I unplugged it after it finished and then plugged back in after it cooled off, I was able to play games off of it without issue and without it getting very hot. It definitely reduced my load times thankfully.

Not User Friendly
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this external hard drive to transfer my photos & documents from my old laptop to my new HP Spectre laptop. I wanted one with SSD and that was not too expensive. This model of My Passport seemed to fit the bill. However, I could not figure out how to use it, and the included instructions were a joke. It only told me how to connect it to my laptop. Even after going to the WD My Passport website, the instructions were poor. I had my son, 27 years old, help me & he also thought this external hard drive was difficult to figure out. He uses external hard drives all the time, another brand, without issue. He finally figured out how to get my info onto the hard drive & get it tranferred to my new laptop. NOT a simple procedure. I will probably never use this again. For $100 I would expect a simple, fast, user friendly process. I will look into other brands going forward. Disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Great job
