Dead Space External Ssd

I was very happy to see that Western Digital was playing in the external SSD Space. Having a 2TB Samsung T7 in the fleet currently as well as a 1TB SanDisk dual thumb drive, among a plethora of external 2.5" drives of varying sizes and models, I thought that I really ought to check this one out. I sized up to the 4TB as my MacBook Pro has only 256 onboard, and I wanted the ability to dump GoPro Max and Hero 10 Videos as well as DSLR Photos and more onto a device and edit straight from there...It took me a bit to get my workflow right, but it has turned out well. This goes with me basically everywhere...may need to velcro it onto my laptop :-) This is price competitive for the size and speeds. It is not especially hardened or durable, but external suds are better than spinning rust. this has withstood a couple air and car trips effortlessly.

Perfect for my external SSD.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For a while now, I’ve dealt with the all too common issue of just not having enough storage space on my Macbook. In particular, I have a lot of music files and Garageband files that eat up space on the SSD. This Seagate Expansion drive is great for storing all of these files. I don’t need to constantly access these files, but having this external hard drive means that I can access them when I need them and even transfer the ones I need to the SSD if I need to have them on the laptop itself, for example if I’m taking it on the go. This Seagate Expansion drive is also impressively speedy when it comes to transferring and accessing files stored on it. It doesn’t make much noise at all when it’s running, and it also looks and feels really nice so I don’t mind having it at my desk. It’s great to not have to worry about running out of space or losing my files, all thanks to this spacious and secure external hard drive.

Love this, no more editing on external disc drive, this SSD is just like having zillion of space on the computer. My Mac Studio has 4 To but sometimes I end-up having to edit multiple projet around the same period. I used to edit on a 8 To disc drive but it's just anoying when it pauses and you have to wait for it to wake up...

Twice as fast as my last SanDisk SSD. Perfect for storing data from my old external drives & my laptop. A ton of space for a consultant and plenty of space for the ave. person to backup their pics and videos. The speed will make your work fast and give you more free time. If you have never had one of these it's super small compared to the old giant external drives of the past

I ordered this drive to backup my projects and free space on my external mobile SSD drives that I use for my video projects shooting in 6K or 8K raw most of the time. It works well and playback doesn't stutter when I need to skim through files. It's also quieter than I expected from previous similar drives. I uploaded a speed test grab for reference.

It is a really fast external ssd, very light and portable.

I bought this to house an external SSD. It's perfect!

Good quality and work perfectly as external SSD.

Makes using small-size external SSd convenient to use with a laptop. External drive no longer has to dangle off the USB connecting port, it helps keep the connection more secure.
