    I have well two dozen flash drives in sizes from 64gig to 256gig. I was tired of trying to keep track of what files were on which drive. This really solved all my troubles and has greatly sped up my user time. Now all my MP4s, MP3s, JPEGs, PDFs, etc. are all in one place, organized buy type and interest. Plus, I can take it anywhere and plug it into BluRay player and SmartTVs. So even my Handbreak movies and 1000+ ripped CD collection can follow me anywhere. So far I'm loving it and will probably buy another one in the future.

    Decent speeds and reliable

    It certainly is not the fastest external SSD you can buy, but if you don't need extreme speeds, and still want something speedy with good reliability, then this is a good option. I use it with my Pop OS Linux machine to store and transfer files and it works great. It also works well with Windows and Mac if you format it for those devices. I have had no issues with this device so far, and it comes with an adapter if you want to use it on a USB-A port. Not much to say here, it works, it isn't the fastest, but it is speedy, and 1TB is decent enough for storing copies of your files.

    For an SSD a decent external

    I got to have a decent backup for movies off of another external drive (I actually have copies on 3 different external drives! LOL). Being an SSD I figured it would be more stable than the other 2 non-SSD drives I use. For the most part I have no issues, it hasn't given me any issues with the actual drive, but the connection from my Mac to the drive is questionable. Regardless of how I hook it up, it will continually disconnect. Initially I thought bad cable, but I tried a different cable (an actual Apple cable) and it did the same thing. Looking at the drive connection, my guess is that the actual connection at the drive has issues as it is a little wobbly. With the Apple cable, it doesn't seem to do as much but that's probably due to the length of the cable. The cable it comes with isn't very long so using with a portable MacBook it won't like it unless you are on a desk and not on your lap. Otherwise it is a great little drive that doesn't take up much space when you're not using it. For the cost its a must have considering SSDs are usually considerably more expensive.

    Needed a large capacity storage device to back up Desktop PC for OS reinstallation. Very easy to use. Typically my external storage drives will generate a request to Eject or disconnect if I right click on them. This one does not. I have to shut down the PC I order to disconnect it. Otherwise it works great.

    I use this with my PS5 to store all of my PS4 games. It’s very quick to store and all the games I run on it run great. It’s a great price for the speed it provides.

    Since it is pocket size it takes up very little room in computer bag. It is very convenient for me to store my photos stored. Even my Lightroom catalog runs fast from this drive.

    I had to buy an external drive for one of my classes and this seemed like a solid option. It is fast, has a good amount of storage, and works seamlessly with both my Mac and Windows computers. It’s incredibly light and thin, so it takes up almost no space which is helpful when you’re carrying a laptop and just want to slide something in your bag. I like the short cable because I know where the drive is on my desk!

    This is a good storage devise. I spend weekends at the shore and shoot hundreds of images a day in RAW format. I rather not keep anything on my MacBook Pro so I store the work on this WD-Passport and then move the work to my Seagate hubs when I get home. I like it much better then the disc drive I used to use, its much faster.

    Has a lot of space for storage. Nice size and the price was right. The only problems I had was with shipping. It was shipped via FedEx and it never arrived. looked like FedEx lost it, Best Buy was good about a replacement that I went and picked up at the store.

    Small and light, truly a portable Device that you can tuck into your shirt pocket. Enough storage space for all of your backup music, or photos. Well maybe not all of it, but enough for my 1960’s collection...
