Super straight forward and easy to use, installed an m.2 worked flawlessly. Small and seems strong design. Comes with 2 screws and 2 holders for the board, as well as a small torx screwdriver for the screws. USB a to c wire and a c to c wire.
- The drives idle at 30-32 C and get up to 36-38 C at full load - Even at full load, the noise is much quieter than I expected - A single drive can get writes up to 260 megabytes per second and sustain a solid 220+ during large transfers
Easy to install
It worked with no fuss: shut down ubuntu, popped in the card, hooked up a drive, powered up and there it was in the drives app.
1.Set up was SUPER EASY as it already has the settings to format it. 2.it was quick in the formatting process.
I've had good luck with WD external drives in the past and this one was no exception. It was immediately recognized and accessible from both Win 7 and Win 10 machines. The power cord has good length as does the data cable (sometimes those tend to be pretty short!) I've been using it extensively for the past couple weeks and all seems fine - data transfers are reasonably quick, no problems with integrity thus far, and the size of the drive (12TB) is a beautiful thing!
I bought two of the WD 2TB My Passport Portable Storage external hard drives in red. I plan to keep one at home and the other in my safe deposit box. The red color was more expensive, but it makes backing up files more fun to do! These drives are easy to use, and I did not install the software; I just plugged-and-played. These are the smallest external hard drives I've ever had. The shipment arrived quickly. Thank you!
