Verified Purchase:Yes
So, after intense research (as in googling lots of things lul) I decided to purchase the My Passport from WD. The other contender was the Samsung T3 which was about 20 dollars more expensive for the exact same thing. Everything else I looked at wasn't as good (according to youtube reputable youtube reviewers) so this is by far one of the best External SSDs you can purchase as of 8/9/17. So that's the simple overview of why I choose to buy this.
My purpose for buying this was so I can move my steams games on to it. As well as back up important programs I will be creating as I will be attending College (WIT) in a week. So far it's working great the transfer speeds are fast and most important thing is it doesn't really get "hot" but it does get warm which is normal. I also really like the fact it used USB-C which will be more prevalent into the future when more and more devices and even more phones are starting to adopt this port.
The only issue I have with it is the frame it really really really bothers me is the fact the cable when plugged in wobbles and also the more important issue fact there is slight flex of the unit itself I don't plan on being rough with it. So if it breaks I'm really gonna be really really upset somewhere into the future upset. like the thing flex like if I were the forget it was in my back pocket and sit on it would break and I'm a small frame guy. This isn't Best Buy's fault but WD's so I hope this is normal cause the small flexing really stresses me.
My Best Buy number: 4250057753

Can this be used on desktop computers? My 120gb SSD is almost full so I would use this one to expand SSD capacity. My SATA 7200rpm is 1TB with plenty of room. I have USB 3.0 ports available.

Yes, it comes with an adapter for USB 3.0 ports and this drive is fast enough so you will be able to use it as an external drive for anything.
