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

Well, my expectation was to get it moving seven, eight, nine, ten times faster than the ten year old motherboard, usb 3.0 port that I have been using . . . Acronis backup - full. Uses 460GB and then said it had 1.5 terra left. I really wished to get my son and I TWO backups and tit really looks like there is not enough terras left . . . Grumble . . . . Wow, it it so TINY for $400 !

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.

it works as advertised but I really dont like the adapter that it comes with for type A USB. The samsung T5 has a seperate cable for that.

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 bought this SSD to extend storage on my Playstation 4 and, I kid you not, overall gameplay experience (boot-up speed, game loading times, access to character settings, etc.) has skyrocketed. I love it. Im also very pleased with delivery speed by the shipper, and the great packaging. I ended buying two of them, one for me and my son.

I purchased three of these drives and one came with a bad cable. Three hours with customer service led to: 1. WD: The serial number is invalid. Please send us a photo of the drive and proof of purchase. 2. WD: After two hours, oops wrong database, we found it but we cant send you the cable because its not under warranty. 3. Me: Its bad out of the box. 4. WD: Oh. Well we still cant send it because we dont sell the cable as a separate accessory. 5. Me: Send the damn cable 6. WD: Well discuss this with our RMA team and see what we can do. 7. Me: Supervisor please 8. WD: I understand your problem well get you your cable in less than two weeks. 9. Me: Aaaarrgh (This was all done in a three way conference call with an Amazon representative and WD still couldnt find a way to do the right thing.)

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.

Bought one loved it, bought a second, loved it and I will be back for more.

It doesnt automatically load, I have to drag each individual folder/document to the drive if I want to backup. When calling the company for assistance, the first rep told me yes, it was possible to copy multiple documents and gave me instructions. It didnt work and I had to call back. This rep said that wasnt possible and everything had to be transferred manually. I tried using the online submission to update my incident hoping that maybe someone would be able to understand what i was asking but somehow my request was converted to me asking how to transfer from my PC to a Mac ??? I never mentioned a Mac. Unfortunately, by the time I got around to using this SSD, my return window had already closed. So, now Im back to backing up to the Cloud - something I was trying to get away from when I purchased this drive. Incredibly disappointed and absolutely would not recommend this product.

Using this as back up and to hold my FLAC music files, picture, and school stuff to keep my computer running smooth and clean. Havent had any problems, runs fast and smooth.
