WD D30 External SSD Reviews
Everything a budget ssd should be.

Reasonable, fast, easy to use, and seems durable. I left it formatted in exFat, as it comes, and pass it around between my Mac and Windows systems because moving a terabyte of pictures on the network is a total pain. This drive rides to the rescue!
Very nice product

It looks cool, has good quality materials, and is simple to use. I didn't test it to check maximum data transfer speed, but I copied data from my iMac to this SSD drive then from it to my PC. And in both cases, the drive could deal with the maximum data transfer speed of the disks in my iMac (~300-350 MB/s) and PC (~400-450 MB/s). So, I believe it can work at the maximum speed of 900 MB/s, but there was no case to check data transfer speed between high-speed disks (this drive and another one).
Amazing product & Service

Amazing product: Installation on XBOX series X took seconds. The console immediately recognized the drive. Games load very quickly and it is hard to feel a difference compared to games installed in the internal memory. Great value for money. The product arrived in Israel within a few days in proper packaging. The purchase process and updates about the shipping status are quick and clear. Excellent service !
