Great with one annoying exception…
I was absolutely jaw dropped floored at how crazy fast this thing moves data i moved a 56GB 4K movie in less than 30 seconds. The thing that upset me because i cant figure out how to fix comes from my ipad when i finish something i go to delete it but it will not let me. I have to ask my roommate permission to use his laptop then plug it in and then i can delete the files. I go through a huge amount a files often so having to stop is irritating and the worst thing is that it worked fine in the beginning but not anymore. Otherwise its great it is small lightweight and has a pleasant blue color but honestly i can’t determine whats the difference between the blue one and the black one the black says pro but they have identical specs i just chose blue because it was a few bucks cheaper. Also i got this to start moving my 8tb of data from google drive to this thing because my drive account got restricted which is fine it a perk from when i was a student but that ended almost 5 yrs ago so it was just a matter of time but back to the point if you move like 1TB of data or keep it plugged in for like an hour the unit will heat up and get pretty hot. With the exception of having to delete files from a laptop i really really like this but i honestly should have gotten a bigger one for my needs. Also make sure you do your research i paid like $350 from best buy but in 2 days i found the same item for 50% cheaper. So good luck!

Extremely portable
This ssd is much smaller than your palm and easily fits in a small zipper pocket of my bag. With 4 tb space, i can carry my entire load of pictures and videos. Speed of this drive is comparable with internal drives and can move gigabytes of data in seconds.

I think I got a return
I ordered this SSD online. The package I received was from the Best Buy Return Center. The package was crushed and it looked as though the seal had been reapplied. I'm pretty sure Best Buy sold me a returned item. As for the drive itself, it claims 2100Mbps read speed. Using a thunderbolt 4 port (USB 3.2) on my Yoga Book 9i, I achieved approx. 1750MBps read and write speeds using the included cable as well as a high speed cable of my own. That is a pretty impressive sustained speed rating. You can see in the screenshot of the speed test that it will handle almost all video editing needs. The drive is very small and portable. Fairly lightweight as well. In device properties, the drive internal manufacturer is Micron. So aside from the poor purchase experience, the drive itself gets high marks. I'll update my review if anything changes.
