Fast...but loud
Easy to set up, nice style and ample storage space - but dinging it one star because it is VERY loud.

Works great, lack technical instruction guides.
This drive works great. Large data transfer is fast. It's quiet big, so you cannot use it like a thumb drive, but at about 5 x 8", you can pack it around. It plugs directly into your USB-C thunderbolt port. The only thing I had trouble with was the set up, as there weren't any instructions. I was able to go to the manufacture's webpage and follow the instructions on formatting the drive. After that it's plug-and-play.

Good price point. Seems long term unreliable
Takes a while to load everything. I have to unplug it after each use because the ‘off’ button does not seem to turn it OFF.
