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

So far, no dislikes. The speed is probably the feature most will like the most, it reads and writes ridiculously fast and its very easy to use. I just copied over 500GB of files in less than 12 minutes with ease on my old macbook pro, so far, I recommend it.

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.

Nice and will buy again. I bought three and use them often. great quality. Imp Tru !

(+) The memory is solid state so no moving parts should mean no losses from disk damage. (-) Its always warm to touch indicating continuous standby power consumption but no visible indicator (led) that it is storing data. Also it is roughly the same size as a hard disk drive and I expected it would be smaller in view of current high transistor/diode densities available. I have only been using it for a couple of weeks so no idea on durability.

Great little drive thats quick. Only problem is the USB-C cable that is now coming with the drive is about 8 long (seriously?!) where some of the previous ones I bought here had cables over 2 feet long. My drive literally cant reach my desk from the computer. Its dangling in the air. But I highly recommend the drive.

I got this unit to replace my old WD passport for my mac. It works great and was really fast. I got the 1TB and love the SSD on it. Its really compact for easy storage.

lightweight SSD but connection with cable is wobbly and does not give a solid secure feel. with limited usage so far, cant tell whether the connection will hold up if cable is removed many times. had a battery pack which had similar connection looseness which failed after about 6 months. this SSD is pricey, so hoping that it will not have the same problem since it will be after 30 days return period.

My son was happy with this gift. I didnt know what it was. After a long explanation by him I know now that is a computer in its own merit. Hes using it by now in his job, and has been qualified (by him) as the better gift of the later years.

Limited testing on an Inspiron 7573. No optimization beyond token attempts to keep drivers up to date. Windows 10, usable as D: second I plugged it into a port. No issues moving to other ports. Approximately the same size as a business or credit card, although not as wide. Will be lost the first time My kids unplug it. Downloading an installing a single Steam game at 10MB/sec Connected to usb-c port (has DisplayPort logo next to it) Writes to drive burst above 30MB/s but mostly stayed around 20-25ish. Avg response time 3-8ms. Connected to USB port marked SS for superspeed Writes solid at 20-23is, no burst, but response time 10-20ms. Please note, connected to usb-c i’ve seen write bursts to 140MB/sec. I don’t know if I can truly say the top speed of this drive, but the port on your machine may make a significant different

My first SSD drive, and though its more expensive than a standard drive, there is a big level of ease, knowing that there are no moving parts to crash and destroy the platter... and of course all of the data on it. Very happy to have it, after going through the agony of 2 hd crashes in the last 6 months, and nearly losing a ton of photography and writing. Very compact and well mad.
