    LEADERSHIP ALERT LEADERSHIP ALERT I won't say it

    LEADERSHIP ALERT LEADERSHIP ALERT I won't say it in person or to their face ...but your outstanding team(s) including your vendor GME (one of our new providers for Downtown Occupational Therapy Center...they've (I'm convinced) been responsible for a beautiful chain reaction in the lives of our customers and patients. Moving data is a hel of a job. But we can't do it alone. Or scared of light. As an eopieleptic who may or may not work too many hours ....it happens But I now look forward to my Soho to Union walks. Your doorman also has the voice of an angel. But he plays it cool calm and Complaint. The women that Lead...Big W for the BB Will order in person vs online -Your Compliant Compadre. I have been moving terabytes on a daily basis, and the timelines have been very confusing, and the daylight has been far less daunting (compared to 35 days ago. I just wish you guys had the updated AI glasses. I'm about drop $10k+ for my team to also go with tru shades s I feel like a cheater going to Oakley etc Any options?

    One Star Shy of Greatness

    This thing is tiny!!!! I have been wanting a portable SSD. Not to use as a main drive for backups but, given the 1TB of space I have been able to use it as that and a go between for my files and others files as well. It is quick! Given it being an SSD and USB-C that much is expected. I love that I can toss it in my bag and not have to worry about it! My only gripe is I wish that the cable was longer *that may cause an impact in performance I guess?* or something was included like a stand so it wouldn't put a bunch of tension on your USB port depending on the layout of your PC. Laptop users need not worry though!

    Best SSD drive I've used!

    I 1000% recommend this hard drive. I am a wedding photographer so the security of my raw images is my top priority. I have used LaCie, Western Digital passports and other external hard drives and have had 3 drives fail on me before. I have never had a problem with these Sandisk's. They are small, durable and fairly quick for editing on the go. I will always use SSD from here on out and these drives are my go-tos! I have three of these and will probably be ordering another one soon lol.
