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

The WD My Passport (2T) is a great product that surpasses other external drives I have try before. Compact, easy to use and FAST!

I use this to transfer files form a windows work computer to my Arch system at home. Works fine, my only 2 gripes are the case is a tad bulky but more important, the cable they give you is maybe 6 inches long. Would recommend just buying a new cable or this will dangle from just about any USB port you plug it into.

Works great right out of the box. My only complaint with the product is with the USB-C cable + USB A adapter. It has a groove on both the adapter and cable allowing it to plug in only one way which is a bit annoying. Other than that this is a superb product

Although portable, I use this mounted to the side of my Mac Mini to add much needed storage for photos and work files. Plug it in and forget about it.

Seems to be working exactly as expected. Unfortunately it doesnt work like a regular flash drive and plug and play with my Samsung Galaxy S9. Guess it requires too much power. Runs a little hot when in use. Transfer rates are nice and speedy. No lag when watching movies of it.

I purchased this SSD for the sole function of backing up Macbook Air computers used by my wife and me. The backup program which I had installed on the computers had ceased to work with earlier Passport devices for some arcane reason that I really didnt understand (something to do with new Mac OS and interplay with the backup program). The good news is that backups to this unit are faster, it had double the capacity of the two prior Passport devices (I had one 500 GB drive for each computer) so I need only this one drive to backup both laptops, this Passport is much more compact than the older 500 GB drive (that is, it is smaller than one of the older drives so our backups now consume far less than 50% of the space needed previously) so it will be handy for extended travel as we are very oriented to traveling with one carry-on size suitcase each for trips that are up to 4 months in duration.

I bought the product, plugged it into my MacBook Pro. It recognizes it. Great, it seems that all is well now I want to back up my laptop onto it. Tried to back it up using the time machine and then for some reason it stopped being recognized and the icon on the desktop is gone. Now I have no idea what is wrong, tried to call, tried to have a live chat, but they are closed. Restarted my laptop, unplugged and plugged the external hard drive back in, and even connected it to my spouses MacBook and still nothing. Now I have a $200+ 1 TB external hard drive that was supposed to be plug in and ready to use, not working. I have no support or help and all I feel is anger for trying to buy something of quality, but instead, I got a terrible product and terrible service. Dont waste your time on this product buy something else.

This drive runs hot and fast. Having a 2 TB capacity is also a major plus. If your system has SSD for main storage you need a fast drive like this for backups and such.

Ive had this tiny SSD for about 9 months now and love it! It works great and doesnt come with the requisite hum of regular external hard drives with moving parts that will inevitably break down sooner than an SSD. Silent and extremely portable. Ive got about 4 other WD Passport external drives and this little guy blows the other ones away. Wish I had the money to buy more of these pricy little buggers. Expensive, but totally worth it

Been using it for a year now great for the Xbox one x play call of duty and Pubg fortnite BDO Apex on it for a full year now not one issue pure perfection
