## Description

Review: Very good product other reviews just got bad SSD - I have had this SSD for nearly a year now and I am seeing loads of reviews of the SSD failing them after a couple of months. Either they broke it or tired to overwork it somehow. I am a uni student and needed this as I would have to transfer files from the uni computer to my laptop. I did find the USB C lead to be a bit short but it makes sense as if you buy velcro straps and place on the laptop lid and put velcro on the SSD then it becomes very convenient as you can have it virtually anywhere without worrying about it moving around, very secure. I used this on both mac and PC with no problems. I also have a lot of games on the SSD and the download speed and upload is stupidly fast, anyone who says its slow either works for NASA or is picky. No joke I transferred a 14GB file in 30 seconds. I was worried that if I used it for a long time it would heat up and yes it does it gets hot but it still works at optimum no problems. But you should not have it on all the time like that, not its main purpose if you are considering getting an actual large storage hard drive that is designed for long period of time use like the WD Ultra with USB c connection. This SSD is mainly for travel and easy convenience. I have not had a failure to this data and just remember this is a WD product so expect a quality product for the price. I have also dropped it a few times and after it worked fine no damage.
Review: Small, light & fast enough but has an annoying cable. - The SSD is much smaller than I expected, especially when comparing to the WD equivalent non-SSD hard drive. It’s about half the width and very light. It’s made from high quality materials and seems very sturdy in construction. I use it for photo editing and transfer speeds have been respectable but nothing special. The only real issue is the fact that the provided USB-C cable is built in a way that makes it proprietary to this hard drive. This means it cannot be used with other devices. Would recommend.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i use this 1tb ssd to create shared storage via my internet router for all devices at home?**
A: For anyone who is interested in this question - it is fully possible by sharing it while being plugged into a PC from external locations - do some googling for a guide

**Q: What actual storage capacity is left on drive after running software is taken into account**
A: Dear mr.k.r.bradley,

My name is Shira from SanDisk Customer Care.

Please be advised that the drive is external drive. The definition of one Gigabyte by operating systems versus product manufacturers.  Operating systems use a binary system which will present a lower number of GB than the decimal based system used by manufacturers to define the capacity of products. This is due to the binary system representing a GB as a higher number of actual bytes.

For example: Operating systems define a 1GB as 1,073,741,824 Bytes. We define 1GB as 1,000,000,000 bytes.

To understand this difference in definition better, you may refer to the following articles from our online Knowledge base:

**Q: can i transfer photos from a memory card directly to this?**
A: Depends on where you have stored your photos - as this has a USB cable - anything that can hook onto this can transfer photos - if its an SD card, then you need a reader to attach to then plug into this...it works the same as a standard external drive....but super fast transfer. you can always use your laptop - plug the SD card in and then transfer to the attached SSD drive...

**Q: Can I use this as storage for recordings from my smart TV?**
A: Dear ABWhisky,
 
My name is Shira from SanDisk Customer Care.
 
I would like to inform you that the portable SSD was tested and confirmed for computers (windows and Mac). It was not tested for TVs. However, if you have a compatible port on your smrat TV, you may connect this SSD but we would not be able to support it.
 
If you have any additional questions regarding our products you may contact us via our support email: english_support@sandisk.com  and provide us with the date of this post.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant SSD from Western Digital
*by J***N on 23 March 2019*

You wouldn’t believe just how small this is. 512gb and it’s smaller than an iPhone SE (5s). Amazing reliability as always from western digital. Build quality did worry me a bit but it’s not too bad, wish the metal bit didn’t dirty up the second you touch it. Other than that, really portable. I use it as my MacBook pro’s Main working SSD (can’t upgrade inner SSD plus it’s good to work off externals and then create back ups especially if your computer is touch and go or your work is important).
