Small, fast, and silent. This fits in nicely on my cramped desk top. Small enough that I’m going to purchase another one. Putting its size in perspective it’s smaller than my flip phone.
Michale Feil (verified owner) –
I love the small size and large storage capacity of this drive. Best one I’ve used so far.
Ferne Hettinger (verified owner) –
I had to contact WD to make sure no software was required to use the SSD (nothing in the documentation about plug and play). It was great to discover I could just plug it into my PC and start using it immediately. I feel more confident now about backing up my data with a solid state drive rather than my previous disc drive with moving parts.

This is a joy to use on a daily basis. Fast and high capacity facilitates transfer among multiple units and travel is a breeze.
Melvina Watsica (verified owner) –
This drive is light, portable, it fits in ones pocket and is very quick in transferring information. I could not be any happier with this drive so far.
Luis Schamberger (verified owner) –
1TB & Fast! I now can keep all of my files on 1 drive, and I use the old drive for a cloned backup! Kinda like a mini NAS with a backup!
Lottie Denesik (verified owner) –
It’s my first external SSD and it is so small in comparison to an HDD. Works and plenty fast for editing photos on for me.
Oren Welch (verified owner) –
Without a doubt the best external storage for Photo/ video on the go.
Casandra Marquardt (verified owner) –
It’s a very useful item and got it at a reasonable price. Thanks to B&H.

This is actually an old model of the sandisk ssd drive. The newer model has 2x transfer rate. I was not aware of that before purchase and plan to return it.
Granville Legros (verified owner) –
I use this drive for Photography Post Processing. I keep my Lightroom catalog and all my images on this external drive. The Lightroom/Photoshop software is installed on the computer hard drive. Both programs work flawlessly and do not skip a beat, which is surprising considering these programs write directly to the hard drive.
Erika Bode (verified owner) –
Works as advertised. Zippy read write speeds, I vaguely remember took less than 7 minutes to copy 60+ GB of compressed TIFFs when connected to the 2018 15″ MacBook Pro. Also works as a Time Machine if the Mac HD is smaller than the SanDisk rated capacity. Comes with keyed USB C 3.1 gen2 jumper cable with USB-A adapter for legacy connections.
Ulices Parker (verified owner) –
This drive is: easy to use; the secure storage software is easy to install, set-up, and use; and easy to carry around. There are Mac and Windows versions of the security software. It comes with a compact USB cable and an adaptor for a standard USB port. A lot of storage for a fair price.

Just bought the Sandisk 250 Gb for a good price. When I got it the quality and the performances was great. Get you one you won’t regret it. I like the shopping experience with BH great company.
Burley Langosh (verified owner) –
Now I am able to store all my family videos and Pictures on it and safely store it away in my safe. I maybe purchasing a couple more.
Maximillia Swaniawski (verified owner) –
I am very happy with it, using it via OTG USB adaptor/hub from my Android phone (Note 8) and also from my MacBook Pro. But 2 additional features would be very helpful: 1. A power/activity indicator LED like My Passport USB drive. 2. A write protect switch like SD cards.

Purchased to work with my iPad Pro and it works fine.
Waldo Casper (verified owner) –
Plug it in and it works. Extremely fast. FANTASTIC service from B&H, as always. Thank you to all the wonderful employees and the owners of B&H.

Only one thing perfect would be enough!
Cale Rippin (verified owner) –
Not much bigger than a credit card, huge capacity, lighting fast, durable. And you pay for that. Good value for me.
