If you’ve never owned a solid-state computer drive, get ready for a treat!
As my very first SSD (solid-state drive) I purchased this drive to achieve a faster boot-up sequence, and I was not disappointed! At a steady speed of about 30 MB/Second, my computer starts up almost as fast as an electric car. This drive is tiny, lightweight, silent, and cool-running. It carries its own self-storing USB cable which cannot be detached from the unit, so it cannot be lost or left at home. At 500GB, there’s plenty of space for a system drive, and as a side-benefit, an SSD is practically shock-proof. My next one will be 2TB, but those are a bit pricey compared to a standard spinning hard drive.

Less than 500 GB after formating to NTFS?
The speeds are what they nearly projected.Hasn’t Failed yet.About 37 less GB than it said it should be.What’s up with that?

Really Compact, Lightweight, Fast, Functional!
The title sums it up perfectly. You can fit it into just about any pocket you have! Transfer speeds are great and it’s never failed me in the few months I’ve owned it thus far. I can’t comment on the service as it has always functioned flawlessly and I’ve never had to contact them. For the speed size and efficientcy its perfect for the money. Downfall is it’s a little small but I mean that’s in the description 500g for a great price.

If it isn’t showing up…
I had a good experience with these but at first it was very frustrating. I don’t know if it’s WD fault, but basically when they came there was no drive letter assigned to them so they didn’t show up in the file explorer. But I found a solution so I thought I’d put it out there. Open Control Pannel, type in Disk Management, right click on the drive with no letter, and choose to assign it. You may also want to format it to NFTS instead of exFAT so you can compress files and because it’s basically an upgrade.Also, if your files aren’t copying, it might be just one corrupted file and the others are okay, so instead of copying the whole folder, copy sub-folders a few at a time so you can narrow down where the problem is and move it away or delete it.There’s been some hiccups, but once I figured out what was going on, these turned out to be really nice, really fast little hard drives.

Exceptional product, but it has 1.8 TB instead of 2 TB due to unexplained reasons
Absolutely phenomenal product, it came in itâs box properly packaged, itâs lightweight and works perfectly for my Xbox One. Whether youâre buying this to increase storage on a gaming console or store data for traveling, I would highly recommend this product.Itâs slim and small enough to fit in my small compartments of my backpack. The ONLY problem I have with this product, and itâs minute enough to not warrant a 4-star, is that while itâs advertised as 2 TB of storage, in reality itâs only 1.8 TB of storage. I don’t quite understand the specifics of why it has 200 GB less than advertised, but I can imagine during the converting/formatting of the product during manufacturing has caused it to no longer âseeâ where the 200 GB has gone.Iâm sure I could use their tech support to have fixed this issue, however, I’ve committed it and converted it to the Xbox Oneâs game storage and do not feel that tech support would be able to fix this issue without suggesting I format the SSD and lose about 1.2 TB of games.

Durable and sturdy and last years.
I have been using my portable WD ssd for over 4 years. No issues at all. No heat issues like some other portable ssd drives. So far so very good. I’m very happy. The cable is very short; so you may need to get a usb hub if you’re taking with you to work or at other venues. I bought a second one as I am very happy with this product. If you want a longer cable, then look at a Samsung portable ssd.
