I have used it for 1 week so far. Just close your eyes and go for it. Check PROs CONs and Competition below. Price: Bought it for INR 6999 on 22-Oct-2020 during the Great Indian Festival sale Pros: β€’ It's extremely small and extremely light-weight. It's a little bit larger than a credit card. And barely thick. I have posted a pic with the SSD near my spectacle box for comparison. β€’ It gives tremendous speed for something that is connected via an USB. I always thought that USB devices can't give much speed as a SATA or PCI interface does. But I'm wrong. I connected this guy to a Thunderbolt port and was getting exceptional speeds of 1024 MBps Read and 992 MBps Write (pic attached). β€’ The cables provided are very reliable. No shakes or anything like that. I use this on my laptop for running a live OS. And I keep moving my laptop while it's on and connected to this guy. Not a single issue so far. β€’ Games load extremely fast and play butter smooth. Cons: β€’ It lightly gets warm during usage. Nothing that I care of. I think it's normal for electronic devices to get a bit warm during usage. Also, I use it for running a live OS. So yes, I guess it's normal as it keeps running all the time. Competition: I had to choose this over the Sandisk & Samsung T5 external SSDs in the same price segment. And here's why I chose it: β€’ This is an NVMe based SSD unlike the other 2 but for almost the same price β€’ This one gives almost a GBps read/write speed compared to those which give only half of it for that price β€’ This has 5 years of warranty while the others have only 3 PS: I'm unable to add images to the review due to some technical issue. I'll try to add it later. Review: Higher price, but good quality and compact. Best price from WD - fast and reliable. Works with Ipan and android phone's as well. ## Features - Digital Storage Capacity: 2TB - Hardware Interface: NVMe | Included USB-C Cable with USB-C to USB-A Adapter - Read Speed: 1050MB/s, Write Speed: 1000MB/s | Compatible with PC, Mac Computers, Smartphones, and tablet - Drop resistant up to 6.5ft (1.98m) - Included password protection- 256-bit AES hardware encryption - Warranty: 5 Year Limited Warranty provided by SanDisk - Included backup software to back up files to your drive or cloud service account.Compatible with Apple Time Machine (requires reformatting). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08F1MRQFD | | Additional Features | Compact | | Best Sellers Rank | #29,674 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) #49 in External Solid State Drives | | Box Contents | 1 Portable SSD drive | | Brand | Western Digital | | Brand Name | Western Digital | | Colour | Midnight Blue | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 9,099 Reviews | | Flash Memory Type | USB | | Hardware Connectivity | USB 3.2 Gen 2 | | Importer Contact Information | Rashi Peripherals Pvt Ltd.,Rashi Complex A Bldg, Survey 186, Dongaripada, Poman, Vasai-E,thane, Maharashtra-401208 | | Item Type Name | External SSD | | Item Weight Unit of Measure | 46 Grams | | Manufacturer | Quanta Storage(Shanghai) Ltd, Quanta Storage(Shanghai) Ltd Add: No.6 Aalley 66 Sanzhuang Road., SongJiang Free Trade Zone, Shanghai china | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Quanta Storage(Shanghai) Ltd Add: No.6 Aalley 66 Sanzhuang Road., SongJiang Free Trade Zone, Shanghai china | | Manufacturer Part Number | WDBAGF0020BBL-WESN | | Media Speed | 1000 megabits_per_second | | Memory Storage Capacity | 2 TB | | Model Name | My Passport | | Model Number | WDBAGF0020BBL-WESN | | Number of Items | 1 | | Packer Contact Information | SanDisk Semiconductor (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. 388 Jiang Chuan East Road, Minhang District, Shanghai, China 200241 | | Read Speed | 1050 Megabytes Per Second | | UPC | 619659184551 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 5 year worldwide | ## Product Details - **Brand:** WD - **Colour:** Midnight Blue - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop, Laptop - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 2 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** Solid State Hard Drive - **Hard Disk Interface:** USB 3.2 - **Hard Disk Size:** 2 TB - **Installation Type:** External Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** Compact ## Images ![WD Western Digital 2TB My Passport Portable SSD, 1050MB/s R, 1000MB/s W, Upto 2 Meter Drop Protection, HW Encryption, Type-C Cable & Type-A Adaptor, for PC&Mac, Midnight Blue, 5Y Warranty,External SSD - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41UEZTngayL.jpg) ![WD Western Digital 2TB My Passport Portable SSD, 1050MB/s R, 1000MB/s W, Upto 2 Meter Drop Protection, HW Encryption, Type-C Cable & Type-A Adaptor, for PC&Mac, Midnight Blue, 5Y Warranty,External SSD - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51eF75Js0TL.jpg) ![WD Western Digital 2TB My Passport Portable SSD, 1050MB/s R, 1000MB/s W, Upto 2 Meter Drop Protection, HW Encryption, Type-C Cable & Type-A Adaptor, for PC&Mac, Midnight Blue, 5Y Warranty,External SSD - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Uv0qqagGL.jpg) ![WD Western Digital 2TB My Passport Portable SSD, 1050MB/s R, 1000MB/s W, Upto 2 Meter Drop Protection, HW Encryption, Type-C Cable & Type-A Adaptor, for PC&Mac, Midnight Blue, 5Y Warranty,External SSD - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/412p+Y7EQXL.jpg) ![WD Western Digital 2TB My Passport Portable SSD, 1050MB/s R, 1000MB/s W, Upto 2 Meter Drop Protection, HW Encryption, Type-C Cable & Type-A Adaptor, for PC&Mac, Midnight Blue, 5Y Warranty,External SSD - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/410VCKeyvCL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Digital Storage Capacity** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: what type of connection is required? What cable comes with it? USB-c or what?** A: Comes with two cables, one type C to C and one type A to C. **Q: I download a lot of games from Steam. Am I able to keep my library of games in here?** A: I keep all of my steam games on this device that is why I bought it. It works great and is just as fast as the ssd inside my cpu it loads most games in under a min around 30-40 seconds. Highly recommend! **Q: Is there built in backup software on the passport 1tb ssd drive?** A: Not that I can see on my drive although I have the 2TB version. I also do not see anything about backup software on the newer version of the drive. If you need backup software, I recommend Macrium Reflect. It allows you to backup individual folders and files and also lets you make image files of entire disks drives and can update those images using incremental or differential backups. You can schedule the backups to your liking. This is assuming you have a Windows-based computer as it doesn't work on other OS. If you don't use Windows, I would recommend Siber System's Goodsync backup software as I believe it works on all popular OS. **Q: If i don't use time machine can i just plug this into my mac as a second drive not a time machine backup?** A: I believe so, although I have not done it. When I first plugged it into my mac, I was asked if I wanted to format it for Time Machine use. I said yes, but I believe that if I had not, it would have functioned as an ordinary external drive. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful purchase *by A***J on 26 October 2020* Summary: I'm loving this product to its core.
