Fantastic Little SSD!
Before I begin this review, let me take the time to note that if you’re ordering flash drives, SD cards or SSDs online, be sure to run a capacity test on the drive you receive. Many drives for sale are counterfit drives that lie about their capacity. There’s a handy little Windows tool called H2TestW.This drive arrived very quickly and was well packaged. I’m still shocked just how tiny this thing is; I know NVME drives (which this is interally) are small, but this is still shocking, it’s around 1.5 inches wide, a few inches tall and super thin. The casing feels ridgid and sterdy with no flexing at all. It comes with a very short but still great quallity USB-C cable and a USB-A adapter. Straight away my PC recognized the drive with no issues. Western Digital included some encryption software for Windows and Mac on the drive, but sense I’m not storing anything sensative on here I just removed it. A test with H2TestW confirmed the drive is legitimate and is the advertised capacity. The read and write speeds were insainely fast and responsive, way faster than my mechanical USB hard disk.TLDR: Very compact and fast drive great for any usecase. I’ve always loved Western Digitals products, and this is yet another one.

A Superb SSD From WD
This little WD SSD My Passport is a marvel. In size, it is slightly bigger than a credit card (I have posted a photos with a Credit Card). It will fit easily into a shirt or jacket pocket and is therefore very easy to carry around. In speed it performs very well.Installation was a breeze. I was prepared to format the SSD just before use; I did not need to. It was literally plug and play. The device does get slightly warm in use, but only a little warmer than any HDD. Unlike some reports, it did not burn my desk or any other material. I could carry it around as I would any normal external Drive after use.Registration for the 5 year warranty was also easy on the WD website. It was done in under 5 minutes. WD immediately sent me a confirmation of the registration, and also a separate email linking me with their support site for 5 years. This was excellent service from WD.The only shortcoming is the length of the cable that comes with it. The cable is only about 3.5 inches long and does not allow for the SSD to sit on the table, when connected to an iMac. I will need to buy a 1ft cable to have it properly seated on my desk.I would highly recommend this small gem of a SSD.ETA: After my initial trial, I decided to format the SSD using Disk Utility on my iMac, and then check the speed of the Disk. There was remarkable improvement. I am attaching a screenshot of the results of my speed test.

Works well – see review for Windows 7 booting issue with easy workaround
I’ve been using the 4TB version of this drive on a 13 yo Windows 7 64-bit desktop for 3 1/2 months. Of course, there are no USB-C ports on the computer, but I needed the storage capacity and wanted to be ready for future upgrades, so I’m using the included USB-A adapter. The drive performs as well as can be expected with the current hardware, connects easily, and stays connected. I use it primarily for video storage and have no problem accessing it’s contents via Plex on the network. However, I did run into one oddity when it comes to rebooting that I wanted to mention for anyone who might be using it on an older system like me. I rarely reboot my computer, so when I rebooted a couple of days ago – for the first time after connecting this drive – I was unpleasantly greeted with the “black screen of death” rather than the login screen. A quick internet search advised me to detach all peripherals and try again. It didn’t take long to confirm that this drive was the culprit because it booted up normally after unplugging the drive. Just another thing to remember when rebooting; and the drive still performs flawlessly. Another note: I also use the 2TB version on a Windows 10 laptop and have had no issues with it at all. Transfer rates are very fast, as advertised using the USB-C port. I’ve used Western Digital drives for ~25 years and have found them to be reliable, so I stick with them.

It is really small, handy and easy to carry. Iâve already aware about the quality of the WD products but never bought them before. Its transferring the data speed is really fast and it didnât get heated because of its plastic body material. Hope it will be working for longer after getting damaged by falling or something else. Iâll be updating review after using it.

Western Digital fabrica productos de la más alta calidad disponible y soy un cliente leal de WD. Este es mi quinto disco duro externo WD. Compré el primero en 2013 y todavÃa funciona perfectamente. Sin embargo, este disco duro externo Western Digital es mi primer disco duro externo SSD.En 2023, compré una computadora HP con tecnologÃa SSD y estoy muy impresionado con ella. Necesitaba un disco duro externo adicional. Entonces, compré este disco duro 2-TB SSD WD My Passport, Generación II.Después de unos meses usándolo estoy 100% satisfecho.Es SUPERRÃPIDO y un dispositivo de muy alta calidad. También aprecio la protección con contraseña ofrecida.Mi sistema operativo es Windows. Pero se puede configurar para MAC si es su sistema operativo.Recomiendo encarecidamente este disco duro externo SSD Western Digital.
