    5.0 out of 5 stars Fast, solid, easy to use!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this to be a workhorse for moving files between systems and holding data.
    I had previously purchased the 2TB model (not SSD) and while it is solid, it was quite a bit slower.
    the SSD model is 10x faster than the older spindle drives. It's also 1/2 the size. the outer casing is all metal, has rubber feet to keep it from slipping. The older 2TB model came with the legacy USB 3.x cable, while the new 500GB SSD unit comes with USB-C.
    If you're not concerned about speed, you'll get more space using the older 2.5" spinning drive.
    If speed is an issue, the SSD is THE solution. Fast.
    Both drives came pre-formatted with EXFAT, and one minor glitch (both partitions were labeled "WD_BLACK" -so with both devices plugged into my Mac, it could not differentiate them. I ended up re-formatting and renaming the new one "WD_SSD".
    One thing to note - the SSD does run warmer, but the metal casing seems to perform as heat-sink too.
    Very happy.

    Bought this 2 years ago (2020) with the exact same price ($129.99), works great since the first day. Setup a separate fan to cool it but that's not a big issue to me.

    I only regret not choosing a larger capacity that time.

    Update....Tried to reformat again, no luck. I sadly just returned the drive and will be tring the Samsung t7 Touchless next.

    To begin, this drive was really fast on Xbox One X.

    Worked perfectly for about a week, however now the drive is overheating causing the xbox to either reject the drive completely until it cools off or has even Hard shut of my Xbox because I'm assuming here, some sort of surge or crash is coming through the usb port.

    I love the drive, but I'm not sure what to do. Return? Replace? I dont know if it's just my drive that's overheating.

    Reviewed in Italy on April 18, 2020

    La serie black della Western Digital è sempre sinonimo di prestazioni e questo ssd esterno non fa eccezione.
    L'ho provato su USB 3.2 Gen 2 e le prestazioni si sono rilevate in linea con quelle dichiarate, cioè intorno ai 1000MB/s in scrittura e lettura.
    Il case risulta in alluminio ed è veramente bello da vedere e da tenere in mano. Conviene appoggiarlo su superfici solide in quanto nella parte inferiore ci sono delle prese d'aria che favoriscono il raffreddamento.
    Ho letto che alcuni test hanno riscontrato problemi nel caso si usi con l'interfaccia più veloce, cioè USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, non posso confermare in quanto non ho questa interfaccia nei miei pc; si dovrebbe risolvere il tutto con un aggiornamento firmware che dovrebbe uscire a breve.
    Consiglio l'acquisto a chi dispone di interfacce che possano sfruttare la grande velocità del pordotto.
