The Perfect Device For Every Workflow
As someone who travels a lot for recording and editing footage, this is the best external storage device I have ever owned. Not only is it small, it's fast and holds a ton of storage. I've owned this SSD for 7 months now and have filled it to max capacity more than once. I work directly from the SSD with a lot of 4k footage and VFX and this thing hasn't bogged down my workflow even a little bit. Nice plus is that it works with both Mac and PC without any extra setup. The size and portability is perfect for even the tightest of work spaces. It's nice not to lug around a large form factor HDD anymore that takes up space I need when traveling. The rubber material on the bottom of the drive works surprisingly well at keeping the drive in place and this thing can take a beating. I can't count how many times I have dropped this SSD from my hands and it always survives with either no scratches or the slightest of blemishes. This is one of the few items I have bought where I have no bad things to say about it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid portable solution. This device is worth every single penny.

Small, lightweight, affordable
Extremely small 4TB drive -- smaller than a credit card! Read and write speeds are fast. I used it for Time Machine on my Mac and it worked perfectly. The casing is made of metal and I didn't observe any overheating.
