    A fast, compact drive powered by its USB-C connector. A solidly built cable is included plus a USB-A converter. There's a single activity LED near the connector.Write performance on a USB-C 3.1 host interface was decent, with 1MB sequential writes running at 112MiB/s, but dropping to 94MiB/s presumably along the slower (outer) parts of the spinning disk.Linux/BSD people, here's how the drive showed up for me:WD My Passport 260D 2007 Fixed Direct Access SPC-4 SCSI device1907697MB (3906963456 512 byte sectors)Note the enclosure shows up as a separate device, BSD sees it as:ses1: WD SES Device 2007 Fixed Enclosure Services SPC-4 SCSI deviceses1: SES DeviceUSB-C is a selling point for me despite some skeptical reviewers here. It isn't meant to be faster, necessarily, that's a function of the interfaces on each end. But it's always a more robust & simpler connector. It lasts long than microUSB (by design) and doesn't need to be flipped back and forth repeatedly until it finally fits. I generally won't buy a device with an older USB connector unless there's no option. USB-C all the way.A great little drive, and nice-looking too. I might wish it were SSD or that the LED was on the front, but otherwise no complaints.
