Review: Easy SSD upgrade to Mac Mini - I purchased this WD My Passport SSD drive to use as a boot drive for my Apple Mac Mini (2012). Essentially cloning the existing hard drive to the SSD was very easy (just Google it...) and worked flawlessly with MacOS High Sierra. This 512GB SSD drive is essentially the same size as the drive already in my Mac Mini. Because it comes ready to go as an external drive there's no need to purchase any cables or enclosures to use it. It will work for both Mac (High Sierra and El Capitan) and PCs (Windows 7, 8's and 10) too. The drive comes with a USB-C and an adapter for USB-C to USB-A. Backwards compatible to USB 2.0 it is USB 3.1 compatibility rated. The drive does come with WD Discovery software for backup and security installed. To use this as a boot drive, users will need to format (erase) the drive prior to installing their own computer's operating system on the drive. The drive is very small and lightweight. It's in a shock-resistant case that probably would be OK if dropped a few times from 3-4', but I'd not expect it to be abuse-worthy. It does get warm on the silver part of the drive case, but not hot to the touch. It is powered by its connection to your PC or Mac - there's no external power source needed to power the drive. The drive has a 3 year warranty through Western Digital, with the serial number on the back of the drive which is needed for registration. The drive can reach speeds up to 540MbS, but that will depend upon how the drive works with your existing system. The Mac Mini I have didn't reach those transfer speeds with a core i5 processor (2.1Ghz) and 16GB of memory, but I didn't expect it to. I was pleasantly surprised by the boost in speed over the internal hard drive though. Using BlackMagic Disk Speed Test app, I had speeds of 71MbS write and 73MbS read with the internal hard drive. Using the WD My Passport SSD I was able to get 370MbS write and 420MbS read speeds. A fantastic leap to 5-6x's faster speeds overall using the WD SSD! Boot time was also cut in half using the USB connected SSD (USB 2.0 connection) versus the internal drive. I'm very pleased with this drive. It's compact size, speed and the ease with which I was able to upgrade and bring new life to an aging Mac have me singing this drive's praises and looking to buy another one. Highly recommend this drive for anyone who wants a speedy connection or a way to boost the performance of their Mac Mini. Review: Incredible drive for physical size, capacity, and speed - Computer drives are "transparent" to the user when they work correctly, thus making them more of a commodity. That in mind, this is a great drive. Simple to use as a plain drive. It also provides WD features for encryption and cloud backup ...these services require registration but registration is NOT required in order to use the drive itself (and the drive can be encrypted with other methods than the WD method...so for paranoid types who don't want to register their encrypted drive up to the cloud do not need to do so). The physical size of the drive itself is much much smaller than I was expecting; much smaller than a standard laptop-type hard drive in an enclosure. It's like a box of matches. No complaints though! Makes it highly portable. The combination of low cost, large capacity, speed of USB-C interface makes this a very appealing drive. ## Features - Blazing-fast file transfers with read speeds up to 540 MB/s - Password protection with hardware encryption - USB Type-C and USB 3.1 Gen 2 ready; USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and USB-A compatible - WD Discovery software for WD Backup, WD Security, Social Media and Cloud Storage import, WD Drive Utilities - Trusted drive built with WD reliability ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07CFY9SHX | | Additional Features | Hardware Encryption | | Best Sellers Rank | #321 in External Solid State Drives | | Brand | WD | | Built-In Media | Portable SSD drive, Quick Start Guide, USB Type-C to Type-A adapter, USB Type-C to Type-C cable (supports USB 3.1 Gen 2), WD Discovery for WD Backup, WD Security and WD Drive Utilities software | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 2 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop, Television | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,902 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 540 Megabytes Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 2048 GB | | Enclosure Material | lightweight and durable material | | Form Factor | Portable | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00718037863290 | | Hard Disk Description | Solid State Drive | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | USB 3.1 | | Hard-Drive Size | 2 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | USB 3.0 | | Hardware Platform | Mac | | Installation Type | External Hard Drive | | Item Type Name | WD WDBKVX0020PSL-WESN 2TB My Passport SSD Portable Storage - USB 3.1 - Black-Gray | | Item Weight | 1.44 ounces | | Manufacturer | Western Digital | | Media Speed | ~540 MB/s | | Mfr Part Number | WDBKVX0020PSL-WESN | | Model Name | My Passport | | Model Number | WDBKVX0020PSL-WESN | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 540 Megabytes Per Second | | Special Feature | Hardware Encryption | | Specific Uses For Product | business, personal | | UPC | 718037863290 | | Warranty Description | 3-year limited | ## Product Details - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 2048 GB - **Hard Disk Interface:** USB 3.1 - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Brand:** WD - **Special Feature:** Hardware Encryption - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 2.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Description:** Solid State Drive - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop, Laptop, Television - **Installation Type:** External Hard Drive - **Hard Disk Size:** 2 TB ## Images ![WD 2TB My Passport SSD External Portable Drive, USB 3.1, Up to 540 MB/s - WDBKVX0020PSL-WESN - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91fpmkGmcYL.jpg) ![WD 2TB My Passport SSD External Portable Drive, USB 3.1, Up to 540 MB/s - WDBKVX0020PSL-WESN - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81VGcm6P50L.jpg) ![WD 2TB My Passport SSD External Portable Drive, USB 3.1, Up to 540 MB/s - WDBKVX0020PSL-WESN - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Y11a1UKrL.jpg) ![WD 2TB My Passport SSD External Portable Drive, USB 3.1, Up to 540 MB/s - WDBKVX0020PSL-WESN - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91f3y96+K6L.jpg) ![WD 2TB My Passport SSD External Portable Drive, USB 3.1, Up to 540 MB/s - WDBKVX0020PSL-WESN - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RLIQBEJKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do i need to get a conversion cable in order to connect to my MacBook Pro running with usb 3.0 interface?** A: No, this come with a USB-C to USB-C cable, and the little adapter to the older USB-B 2.0 end **Q: Does this product withdraws power from the usb ports, such as dvr devices? also does the usb attachment for 2.0/3.0 reduces speed?** A: Yeah, it is powered via USB. Tests show no difference between inputs. The only difference in speed occurs when used with certain interfaces. For instance, when plugged into a 2.0 it transfers slower. **Q: Macbook pro time machine compatible?** A: Yes, that is what I use mine for and it works fine. **Q: can i use this external drive to store and play my xbox one x ganes?** A: I don’t know for sure is xbox comes with an usb-c port. The drive comes with a usb 3 converter , so it’ll still work with Xbox, but believe i wont be able to reach full data transfer speed as you would with the native usb-c interface. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy SSD upgrade to Mac Mini *by A***K on July 19, 2018* I purchased this WD My Passport SSD drive to use as a boot drive for my Apple Mac Mini (2012).

The solid state construction makes for an extremely rugged storage device and much faster data transfer than traditional rotating disc drives. I now have established a regular schedule for backups with less time being spent. The expected reliability of this SSD, small size and fast transfer are great features. ## Frequently Bought Together - WD 2TB My Passport SSD External Portable Drive, USB 3.1, Up to 540 MB/s - WDBKVX0020PSL-WESN - Hermitshell Hard Travel Case for WD My Passport SSD External Portable Drive --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/67909918-wd-2tb-my-passport-ssd-external-portable-drive-usb-3](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/67909918-wd-2tb-my-passport-ssd-external-portable-drive-usb-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
