Great Little SSD
Great LITTLE Hard Drive. I have many of those small Samsung SSD drives (T7 was my last purchase), and none of them have failed. This one was widely reviewed positively and is EVEN SMALLER. This is great for machine backups and will be even easier to travel with. So far, it's been reliable, which is my #1 concern. Time will tell, but the other good reviews give me hope. The rubberized back might also be a value add, and limit slippage and marginally reduce drops, so long as the material holds up to the test of time.

Extra Storage for MacBook Air
Works great. Easy to format. Fast file transfer. Great way to create extra storage on a MacBook Air. I simply used a 6" connector cable with a 90 degree bend and velcro to install the SSD drive to the back of my computer.
