    Great for boot drive!

    I purchased the PRO-G40 for the great price and Thunderbolt 3 speeds. I immediately formatted it and installed MacOS to use as a boot drive for my 2019 iMac which was get bogged down and slow. NOW my Mac is fast and responsive! I couldn't recommend this product enough.
