According to our External SSD expert
The WD My Passport SSD 512GB is a compact, external SSD for on the go. With a speed of 540MB/s, you'll rapidly transfer your HD movie material or large collections of high-resolution images and pictures within about 10 seconds to the drive. The drive has a professional look to it, thanks to the half-glossy, half-matte casing. The hardware-base 256-bit AES encryption protects the SSD against online theft, and it protects sensitive material. The WD My Passport SSD is shockproof up to a fall of about 2 meters. Your files are still safe, even if the drive falls off a table. The SSD has a USB-C connector with USB 3.1 support, so you'll enjoy the fastest USB speed on modern devices. If you don't have USB-C yet, simply connect via USB-A using the included adapter. It also works directly from the box with Windows and Mac. You'll automatically make a back-up thanks to the WD software when you connect the external SSD.

I haven't had the external SSD for long. The reason I don't recommend it is that the software and usage are not really suitable for the mac. Of course I can send it back, but now the SSD works well under Time-machine.

For my work as a cinematographer/photographer I often have to load files on the go, and then get to work with those files. previously I used slow mechanical drives that give about 35mb per second of write speed. Because of this I lost a lot of time. Loading a memory card quickly took 40 minutes... editing my images was not possible at all.
Now that I've switched to My Passport SSDs, my memory cards load at least 4x faster, and I can work on the go! you pay a little more, but what you get in return makes it more than worth it.

The memory is very fast and for an SSD it has a lot of memory. SSDs are becoming more and more affordable, but are still very expensive compared to an HD.
