This is a great ultra passport 2 TB storage unit. It will hold your photos, music, videos, etc. you can get one with 4 TB storage unit. Also, I highly recommend this product. You will not be disappointed. It comes in a couple other different colors, but I prefer silver.

This isn't a SDD nor is it formatted for a Mac, but I didn't really notice much of a difference in speed when I used a SSD type external drive on my M1 MacBook Air.
It was fairly simple to format for a Mac (under disk utilities app on any MacBook), and I got 2TB of storage for HALF of what 1 TB cost in a SanDisk SSD.
So I'd say this is a lot of bang for the buck, especially if you get it on sale (I did). And a side bonus: It matches the silver color of my MacBook Air M1, and fits in my case that I already have. You can get similar cases from Buy for about $10.
2 TB is a must-have for photographers!!

External Hard Drive for laptop recovery operation

This review for:
WD - My Passport Ultra 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Silver
Bought this for a friend after his laptop died and I needed to back up his hard drive. I appreciated that it has a usb c cable but also has an adapter for a full size USB port. I went for the ultra version because of the extended warranty because I'm not sure how often this will get used so I wanted to make sure that it was going to be reliable for when they did use it. Hardware encryption seems a little gimmicky just because I'm not sure how the implementation works if you are using the drive with multiple devices.

The HDD is very fast and solid. I bought it because I wanted to back up my computers. The included USB adapter came in very handy to use with older computers which don’t have USB-C. My only complaint would be the material it’s made of. It’s a rather thin plastic that raises durability concerns. I haven’t had any issues with it up to this review.

So first off i use this as a backup drive for my gaming rig, and for an HDD it is very fast in transfer. I back it up every sunday and it carries all my info and data, and has a nice compact and durable case. The software for passwords is also very user friendly.

Great amount of storage. If your using to store videos photos and such it’s great. Will hold and run video games but will add a little bit of load time. But for the price no complaints.
