WD 256GB My Passport SSD External Portable Drive, USB 3.1, Up to 540 MB/s - WDBKVX2560PSL-WESN

Hasta el momento no logré probarlo mucho, pero las pruebas que le realice se obtuvo lo deseado. Como se puede ver en las fotos, probé las velocidades por USB A 3.0 del Wd My Passport vs Samsung T5 (ambos ssd de 540MB/s). El WD My Passport tiene mayor velocidad de escritura que el Samsung T5, pero un poco menos de velocidad de lectura. La verdad comparado con los discos externos hdd que tengo son 3 veces mejores los ssd.

Well, my expectation was to get it moving seven, eight, nine, ten times faster than the ten year old motherboard, usb 3.0 port that I have been using . . . Acronis backup - full. Uses 460GB and then said it had 1.5 terra left. I really wished to get my son and I TWO backups and tit really looks like there is not enough terras left . . . Grumble . . . . Wow, it it so TINY for $400 !

So far, no dislikes. The speed is probably the feature most will like the most, it reads and writes ridiculously fast and its very easy to use. I just copied over 500GB of files in less than 12 minutes with ease on my old macbook pro, so far, I recommend it.

Needed to replace a 1TB that I had, had for years. This thing hooks up to USB C / Thunderbolt so it goes plenty fast. I habe not had any problems with failures either. I do not use it for its portable feature though. I put my Documents and pictures on it.

Although portable, I use this mounted to the side of my Mac Mini to add much needed storage for photos and work files. Plug it in and forget about it.

Just started using it. It warms way-up. Could be a hand-warmer.

Limited testing on an Inspiron 7573. No optimization beyond token attempts to keep drivers up to date. Windows 10, usable as D: second I plugged it into a port. No issues moving to other ports. Approximately the same size as a business or credit card, although not as wide. Will be lost the first time My kids unplug it. Downloading an installing a single Steam game at 10MB/sec Connected to usb-c port (has DisplayPort logo next to it) Writes to drive burst above 30MB/s but mostly stayed around 20-25ish. Avg response time 3-8ms. Connected to USB port marked SS for superspeed Writes solid at 20-23is, no burst, but response time 10-20ms. Please note, connected to usb-c i’ve seen write bursts to 140MB/sec. I don’t know if I can truly say the top speed of this drive, but the port on your machine may make a significant different

I wanted to speed up my load times on my PS4. This did the trick. The times decreased about 20-30 seconds on Anthem. The only negative is the cable is short.

Draws a lot of power compared to others

My son was happy with this gift. I didnt know what it was. After a long explanation by him I know now that is a computer in its own merit. Hes using it by now in his job, and has been qualified (by him) as the better gift of the later years.
