💾 WD My Passport SSD Portable Storage - 512GB - USB 3.1 - Black/Gray - WDBKVX5120PSL-WESN Review

a) After following the instructions to download the software, the software does not work with the WD SSD 1TB drive and does not provide any options to work. b) First-time device enrollment: After enrollment is complete, access to the account will be denied due to a password (PW) challenge never generated for this purpose. Resetting the PW means that the code must be sent to the entry's email address. After 6-10 tries, the code was never received. c) SSD Tech Support (Mark): Saturday morning…

I love this little beast but sometimes it can be very frustrating to use. I use this drive with a 2015 MacBook Pro, which usually works fine unless (1) the computer dies while the hard drive is still connected, or (2) the drive is safely removed. In any case, when I plug it back in, the drive is no longer recognized and I have to do a drive repair using the Disk Utility app. Sometimes the restore fails and I have to either restart the computer or disconnect/reconnect the drive multiple times…

Bought the product, put it in my MacBook Pro. It recognizes this. Great everything seems fine now I want to backup my laptop to it. I tried to create a backup with the time machine and then for some reason it was no longer recognized and the icon on the desktop disappeared. Now I have no idea what's going on, tried calling, tried chatting but they are closed. Restarted my laptop, unplugged and plugged back in my external hard drive, and even plugged it into my wife's MacBook and still nothing…

I bought a similar device (My Passport SSD external portable hard drive) over a year ago and it worked great with my MAC. This one and the other one with less memory didn't convert properly and I spent hours getting them to work. I contacted Revane and sent both back. The refund was noted on my account and the full amount was credited to my credit card. It's been over a month since the loan was supposed to be in my account. I have not received a credit to my account and there is no easy way to…

All I wanted was an external SSD to connect to a Win7 PC with drive utilities - no backup/cloud/security/or unwanted apps and trial software etc. If you want me, then don't install WD Discovery software - it breaks through your firewall, installs scheduled tasks to update itself - tries to install malware. So after uninstalling the correct programs and exiting the Drive Utilities (which can be downloaded from WD.com without the Discovery software), I'm disappointed with the Drive Utilities as…

I bought this WD My Passport SSD to use as a boot drive for my 2012 Apple Mac Mini. Basically, cloning an existing hard drive to an SSD was very easy (just google it) and worked flawlessly with macOS High Sierra. This 512GB SSD is almost the same size as the drive I already have in my Mac Mini. Because it's ready to use as an external drive, you don't need to buy any cables or cases to use it. It works with both Mac (High Sierra and El Capitan) and PC (Windows 7, 8 and 10). The drive comes with

This review is written from the perspective of professional photographers using the Lightroom cataloger/retoucher while traveling with the Surface Pro 4. The device we bought is the latest iteration of their portable solid state drive and is slightly more expensive than the other device we tested, the Samsung T5. The WD unit is a bit smaller and lighter, but not by much. Aside from the price, the main difference is that the latest version of the WD drive offers USB Type-C and USB 3.1 Gen 2…
