Western Digital Never Disappoints!
Hey Western Digital! I'm happy with my purchase and am glad I took the time to review the differences in products prior to purchase. I needed this to run Parallels and Windows on my MacBook Air for a billing program a client uses. The product is small and I am thankful having size not even being a factor to my purchase. It goes everywhere I do and keeps my laptop portable.
Nice and fast yet somehow durable
I love the overall design of this drive, the look the weight the place of LED and USBC port. The downsides are the rubber degrades overtime and become sticky like some of the other “Environmental Friendly” stuffs. It doesn't affect using the drive of course but it indeed make you you not so comfortable every time you pick it up. - The other downside if I were need to say is the silver top cover, I expected and hoped it would be aluminum or metal materials but it turned out to be just plastic. I know plastic make it more “droppable” but it just doesn't feel that premium. - (And the screws on top actually get. Rusted by the way…..
