    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.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Fast, but Overheats/Crashes
    Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    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 Canada on October 14, 2020

    Its beautiful and it feels solid. It's got a super rugged and sleek build meant for portability. I even installed and ran some steam games on it. StarWars fallen order ran quick with load times comparable to my internal ssd. I'm using the USB-c to USB-c connection, which was supplied in the box.

    I mainly bought this because my 500GB internal ssd in my gaming laptop was always full. This granted me an additional 500GB that runs seemlessly with my laptop. I'm very impressed with this unit.

    I give this a score of 3 storm trooper helmets and 1 discarded pizza crust. Or 5/5 stars if you use amazon's scoring system. Buy this ssd.
