Review: Very fast, small and hot after backing up 180gb - I connected the ssd drive to my laptop to use Time Machine, backup software. After TM did the formatting, it was ready for backup. Initially, I had some trouble restarting Time Machine and connecting to ssd so I had to reboot the laptop to get it to work again. However, once it began backing up, it was impressively fast—160 GB in just an hour. The drive did become quite hot during the process, which is a bit concerning. Overall, I'm pleased with its performance, but I'm worried about potential mounting issues or damage due to the heat it generates. Review: Nice piece of kit, good support - I had been using a 2T hard drive from the same people but it is not portable, too big & heavy. I decided to go for the benefits of a small & neat SSD especially as I was buying a new PC which has an inbuilt SSD. I keep my old HD fully backed up but switched off. If I did get a wipe-out attach at least a have a "vault" copy. I tried to register the SSD online but it was not recognised. I contacted WD and they tried but failed to register it for me. A few days later they came back and said that they had proof it was a legitimate WD device and they registered it on their records for me. A load of firms would just wash their hands. Quite please with it all - except that the data cable is far too short & it sits too high on the PC. The bonus is that it now has good airflow, as SSD's can really heat up. ## Features - ACCELERATED PERFORMANCE. Larger files and more content demand next-level performance.

Also, know this isn’t the question but FWIW, I’m using it with my Mac PowerBook as a "Time machine" back up, but I had to format it with the disk utility first. **Q: Could i use a wd usb-c cable with this?** A: It appears the My Passport and the My Passport Ultra take you to the same Questions and Reviews. Amazon seem to do this a lot and need to fix it. The Ultra supports USB-C (and seems to be more expensive). Check before you click to buy. One last thing, it's not worth paying more for the Mac versions, though you may need to reformat. **Q: I've a pc and a mac...can i format it in 2 partitions ? one mac formatted and another windows pc formatted ?** A: This should be possible, though if you want to use the drive with both mac and windows devices you would be better off formatting the partition in exFAT format, which allows both OSX and Windows read and write access. Of course, this is best done when the drive is new and has no data on it, otherwise you would lose data stored on the device! **Q: Just took delivery of this for my mac running catalina.. can't import my files(images) from icloud because it keeps asking for social media** A: It will auto back up all your files on your Mac if you connect to Time Machine, are your files in iCloud different from those on your Mac? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very fast, small and hot after backing up 180gb *by H***I on 31 July 2024* I connected the ssd drive to my laptop to use Time Machine, backup software.

Only criticism is the length of the data transfer cable - 8in/20 cm with adaptor attached - only of use with a laptop on a desk, I had to buy a much longer cable to use it with my desk top. ## Frequently Bought Together - Western Digital 2TB My Passport SSD Portable External Solid State Drive, Gray, Sturdy and Blazing Fast, Password Protection with Hardware Encryption - WDBAGF0020BGY-WESN - Case Compatible for WD 1TB 2TB 500GB My Passport SSD External Portable Drive-WDBAGF0010BRD-WESN, Carrying Storage Holder Bag Also fits for USB Cables(Case Only) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/226413651-wd-my-passport-ssd-2tb-portable-external-ssd-read-speeds](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/226413651-wd-my-passport-ssd-2tb-portable-external-ssd-read-speeds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
