💽 500GB My Passport Go SSD Amber Portable External Storage by WD, USB 3.0 - WDBMCG5000AYT-WESN Review

If you are using High Sierra or newer Mac OS where you need to work in APFS format, this will work. I use it as an external drive to clone my High Sierra computer with APFS. First you need to erase/reformat this drive to APFS and then use it as a clone. Get rid of the firmware.

I bought this SSD mainly because of the size and the cable that came with it. So I think it's great. If you need speed, look elsewhere. The read/write speed was 307/115, which is very slow compared to other external SSDs that are in the mid-400s.

If you are using High Sierra or later Mac OS where you need to work in APFS format, this works. I use it as an external drive to clone my High Sierra computer with APFS. First you need to erase/reformat this drive to APFS and then use it as a clone. Get rid of the firmware.

I got this because there were a few games that were very slow on our Xbox One S. Destiny 2 was the worst, but Forza also took a long time. Setup was easy - just plug in and format quickly - no compatibility issues. The broadcasting of the games went pretty quickly, and then it was time to try the game. Those who play games with long loading times know how slow things can get, but who cares! Load times in Destiny 2 are 3-4 times faster and it was definitely worth it.

I've been using WD external hard drives for years. My previous WD Passport was valid for 7 years - I'm a fan, it stopped working in May 2019 when it couldn't back up or even show up as an external hard drive on my computer. This WD SSD pass is fantastic, WD tech support is fantastic - they helped me format my WD pass. WD's backup software is much more powerful than previous WD Smart software - no problem at all. Of all the pluses - I will continue to buy WD external hard drives. I like this…
