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

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.

Needed to replace a 1TB that I had, had for years. This thing hooks up to USB C / Thunderbolt so it goes plenty fast. I habe not had any problems with failures either. I do not use it for its portable feature though. I put my Documents and pictures on it.

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

I have this hooked up as an external for my MB Pro 2018, and was hoping to use this consistently with reads/writes. The problem is any time I do any substantial work (software dev, not even image/movie editing) the drive tries to overheat on me. Ive gotten corruption twice already in the month Ive been using it. Id be surprised if it lasted a year before it bricked.

Works fine - fast - USB cord is very short - like 3 or so inches long

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.

I have a 2017 15 MBP with 256gb drive and needed more space as I am headed into creating videos. I am also a software developer and needed an external drive that wouldnt lag. I received this drive and tested it by completely rebuilding my iOS app. It took 1min 39sec on my internal drive and only 1min 42sec on this external drive. Thats a negligible impact and exactly what I hoped it would be. Highly recommended.

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

All works fine, only thing is that it just doesnt get to the max speed listed in the specs, not real life proof... There are some lexar SSDs that go up to 900mbps... This one is listed as 540mbps but it often works at 300 or so... Yet I give it 4 stars because who needs that stupid high speed, it works fine.

I needed an external hard drive to have enough space for all the new video games that came out recently. I bought the SSD because I didnt want anything potentially slower than the factory PS4 Pro hard drive. Turns out I should have bought the 2 tb version because I moved all my games to this SSD for the quality of life it brings to my gaming. Load times are much, much faster. Whether its the initial load, fast traveling, details loading in, etc. Buyer beware, you will never be satisfied with a standard HDD hard drive after using this SSD.
