Crucial turned out to be crucially good for me
I love this thing! It’s so much more compact than SanDisk’s options and it’s also cheaper and offers more space per dollar spent. It’s simple and easy and so straightforward to use. I did have one issue though I only have an iPad and so I filled up the drive and then found it wasn’t formatted correctly so I had to erase everything to reformat it and there isn’t anywhere near enough space on my iPad to be able to temporarily hold the data while reformatting it. So make sure when you buy yours that it is formatted correctly for your needs before you start to put all of your data on it. I still really recommend it and think it’s worthwhile but I do wish that I had opted for the larger size drive because for the extra hundred dollars it’s worth it.

Small but mighty
Impressively small physical footprint for the massive amount of storage provided. Works great with my MacBook.
