Update:It seems that the problem may have to do with incompatibility with APFS in Big Sur. The solution seems to be to create a single Time Machine backup using Mac OS Extended format on a different Mac with an earlier OS). Then after that, when you try to make a backup with your current OS (Big Sur), it will use Mac OS Extended format (because it has already detected the earlier time machine backup in Mac OS Extended format), and will not use APFS.It has been a couple of days so far, but until now no failures, and drive seems to mount. Lets see how long it will last. Unclear if Apple is to blame, or Western Digital, but if there are no more updates to my review, then one can say that the drives seem to work reliably in Mac OS Extended format. The backup speed seems faster also.Update:Neither of the drives I purchased will mount anymore. Cannot access the data. All within one week. Barely used either drive 3-4 times. One drive being defective can happen to anyone. But both drives failing within a week! Do not buy this product! There is clearly something wrong with it. What a waste of money. Return window is closed so can't get a refund. Now have to go through head ache of seeing if drives can be replaced from manufacturer. =(UPDATE:Its been a few more days, and for some reason MacOS keeps asking me for the password to decrypt the device even though each time I choose to store it in keychain. The device won't even mount now. Return window closed. What a waste of a device! Completely unreliable as portable storage.UPDATE:Time Machine Backups on Mac OS seem to repeatedly fail on both my drives. I have tried wiping / reformatting the drives and creating fresh backups. The first always succeeds. But subsequent ones seem to randomly fail. And backing up takes a really long time. In short, these drives are worse than ordinary HDD drives in terms of reliability it seems. After multiple attempts, it seems the error goes away and the backup succeeds. But you do not want to store backups on an unreliable drive!! The drives are small and light, but are slow and unreliable! I would not recommend them for anything critical.Original Review:The device is very small and light, like carrying nothing at all. Fits in your palm, can easily carry 3-4 in your jeans pocket. 5 stars for size and weight. The data cable weighs more than the device I think.But it’s very slow! For a few minutes I thought it was fast like other SSDs…. then it became pretty slow…. as slow or slower than HDDs…. No idea why. I purchased two, and both behave the same way.Buy if you just want small light portable storage, but don’t expect a fast SSD. Instead I would suggest the sandisk one which advertises 1000-2000mbps if you need speed.
