It's great to have a thumb drive with this much capacity, but it's amazingly slow. When to attach the drive, it can take up to a solid minute for it to recognize. It doesn't copy as fast as smaller drives either.

I bought this to use with my MacBook Pro. The write speeds are extremely slow and the usb blocks the second usb c port because it is too big.
