WD 256GB My Passport SSD External Portable Drive, USB 3.1, Up to 540 MB/s - WDBKVX2560PSL-WESN

No matter how small you think it is, it’s smaller. It’s a solid value for the speed and convenience. This wouldn’t be the right drive for primary storage, but as a portable backup or for a road warrior with tons of extra data to carry around, the drive is perfect. Get a little case for it to keep it with the cable, or just stick an elastic band around both, and you’re ready to go.

The first thing I noticed was that it was much smaller than I imagined. But it is fast and big enough for me to clear up my main boot SSD a bit. Everything is working perfectly so far, just an easy plug and play experience. My one gripe is how short the cable is that comes with it. For my desktop I would like it to be a bit longer, but for laptops it probably doesn’t matter.

I used this device to record video on my Arlo camera system. It formatted quickly and it was recognized by the system immediately. Not much else to say other than it is somewhat stylish looking and fairly small. I would buy again!

Bought this October 2018, the SSD Is great, but the USB cable is really bad, I keep having connection issues. I thought something was wrong with the SSD. I eventually bought a cable and everything works good. WD I expect better than this with your products. Get a better cable manufacturer for your products. A cable is a major part of any Portable drive, errors can occur with poor connections, even leading to damaged and lost files.

I have the larger spinning hard drive version of this also and this is much smaller and weighs next to nothing. I really like it, carry it in my laptop day pack for work and use the included encryption program. Am probably going to buy a 2nd one.

Very light weight, i am surprised how small it is

Quality ssd. I was very impressed by the size. I bought a 2TB one, and it is generally the length and width of a credit card or smaller. It is fairly thin, and can fit in a pocket very easily.

I was tired of the environment taking forever to load while playing PUBG on Xbox 1. I bought this and it’s greatly improved. Granted, this will not fix connectivity issues, but if you have a good connection speed and still have spotty loading of PUBG this may fix your problem.

It is incredibly small and could easily be used as portable storage, not just a backup drive. I have it dedicated to my MBP time machine and just keep it in the case until I am ready to use it. It is a great device, maybe a bit pricey. But, I recommend it.

I have used it for work. I do a lot of work with graphic design software, mostly Adobe Creative Suite, which requires a certain level of computing capability on the drive. With the SSD, I can constantly get a much shorter time of opening, processing, and saving large files. It meets my expectation. A very good upgrade from a hard drive. PLUS, it is very light, so it doesnt add much weight to my bag, it is very important when I have to carry multiple portable drives with me for work.
