Small and lightweight drive that's easy to use. Good.

This is my third 2TB Passport HDD and the second HDD to fail. The first one lasted less than a year, the second died in less than a month.
It was a major hassle to get a return authorization for the first failed drive, the second was a breeze. Perhaps WD knows they're shipping some bad product...
The first replacement has been working for several months now; I'm hoping the second replacement will also prove reliable.

We have identified a firmware issue that presents itself in very limited situations and can cause SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD V2, SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD V2, and WD My Passport SSD products to unexpectedly disconnect from a computer.
Full details, including a serial number lookup tool to find out if your product is impacted, can be found on the Firmware Updates for SanDisk & WD Portable SSDs page. https://support-en.wd.com/app/firmwareupdate
