The 2nd generation SSD from PNY. Excellent performance versus price ratio. Added the 3 year warranty and the bundled Acronis software only makes it sweater! Only thing missing...(and hey, can't really complain since on sale for $39.99) are the interface cable (In case you need to migrated your OS) and the mounting screws.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent SSD based on price/performance. Instructions not the best, therefore a beginner may have an issue with installation and migration or re-installation of OS.

Purchased SSD to replace failing hard drive in Desktop. Paired it with a traditional 2 TB hard drive (for data). Noticeable difference in start-up and shut down. Programs start very quickly. Excellent value for the price/performance. While it did not matter to me, there was no useful instructions enclosed and no software utility to assist in configuring/optimizing the SSD. So, you have to know what you are doing to install the drive, either transfer or install the software, to configure your OS to properly use the SSD, and finally to optimize the SSD for performance and longevity.

 WD - My Passport Ultra 1TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive - Black
WD - My Passport Ultra 1TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive - Black
Save your files quickly with this WD My Passport Ultra external hard drive, which features a USB 3.0 interface for transmitting data at up to 480 Mbps. The 1TB capacity offers ample space for data backup and file storage.
 

Can I use it for storing and using my genealogy files?

I do genealogy research and want to know if I can put my family files here and work with them the same as on an internal drive? This would save a lot of flash drives.
Yes, you can use the Passport to store your family files as a back up, and use the same files on your internal drive.

The only thing to remember is if you make changes to the files on the internal drive, you should also "Back-Up" the same files to the external drive, thus always having a current "Back-Up" on the external drive.

You can do this manually, or you can have it done automatically with software. Windows has software to do that, and there are also excellent free and commercial software to handle that as well.

The Passport should have also come with software to assist in automatically "Backing-Up" your data.
