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

GREAT SSD so far. Just hope it doesnt lose any memory like Ive heard rumors that the WD SSD drives do. Online ordering is FANTASTIC. Memory capacity choices were good. Delivery was fast and secure. No complaints. Im considering buying a higher capacity model.

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!

This is a great ssd, light and fast, without moving components like normal external hdds that can get scratched or wrecked. If you want a high quality drive to back up to once and then retrieve quickly later with good life expectancy, this is a great bet (if you are over-writing daily or weekly, you probably should skip SSDs). It is, however, pretty expensive. That said, its fairly comparable to similar drives and Western Digital has a long track record of quality. It just is maybe worth looking for this on sale if your need is longer term and not immediate.

I bought three of these to use as convenient backup drives, and theyve served me very well so far. Fast transfer speeds and not a single problem so far -- Ive had them about a year.

When I contacted WD, I gave them my serial number and they couldnt identify my drive. They said they would get back to me but I havent heard from them. Could this be a faux product?

Great product. Delivered promptly and exactly as advertised. I use it to hold all of my movies when I travel. It is blazingly fast on my MacBook Pro.

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.

Transferred 200+ gigs of photos in a matter of minutes, haven’t had any issues with it besides it didn’t come with the activation/serial code for the software registration (not a big deal)

I love this little beast, but sometimes it can be very frustrating to use. I use this drive with a 2015 MacBook Pro that usually works fine unless either (1) the computer dies with the hard drive still plgged in, or (2) the drive is not safely ejected. In either case, the drive is no longer recognized when I plug it in again and I need to run a disk repair using the Disk Utility app. Sometimes the repair fails and I need to either restart my computer or unplug/replug the drive several times for the repair to work. Thankfully, this does not happen often and none of my files are lost/corrupted. However I havent seen this behavior with other hard drives. Other than that it is a great product - super fast transfer speeds and it comes in an amazing size. Overall, Id still recommend this product.

This unit comes with a double ended USB C cord and a USB C to USB A adapter. The Read/Write speed using the USB adapter was 444/435.7. One interesting fact is that the adapter that comes with this unit is far superior to aftermarket versions, so dont loose it.
