Beware of SSD copy file structure and "Real" available space
Backed up files from my computer and discovered that ~250 GB of files on my computer resulted in >550 GB size on the SSD after back-up! After discussion with WD Manufacturer, I determined SSD geared more towards fast playback of large files (music, gaming, etc.) Vs storing of day to day files. Note - there is no way to change this setting for the SSD. So, this SSD would have only let me copy ~430 GB onto the 1 TB SSD!
Recommendation is to stick with HDD. I went back and purchased another WD HDD!
