Its large storage capacity is also frequently praised, along with the ease of connectivity.

    Great value drive, but not the fastest. Value drive, not a speed demon.

    Fantastic tiny SSD drive which is perfect for my photo trips. Always guarantees that I don't lose images if I back up every night. Great value

    These things are horrendous. Genuinely unsure how it has so many good reviews. I can only assume these people don't use these things for large files. I was trying to transfer a 500gb project to it from a cfexpress type b card. Starts at around 700mbps then within 15 seconds drops to 50mbps for the rest of the transfer. Takes forever. Terrible cache performance, which makes it literally slower than my disc hard drives. Terrible, terrible performance.

    No hardware 256 encryption like what I normally get on a SanDisk flash drive; for 2tb SSD that should have been the reality.

    The worst hard drive ever. Bought this hard drive twice and both of them stop working and thankfully I had everything backed up on another drive. Don't ever buy this drive. Crucial x6 is the worst.

    I got this drive for its size and because it is an SSD. However, only a few weeks in, it became unresponsive and would not show up on any device I plugged it into.

    Drive failure on iPad Pro

    I initially purchased the SSD for a good speed and reliable backup for my professional photos and videos and to free up space on my iPad Pro. The first drive failed within 24 hours but I chalked it up to just a manufacturer error and exchanged it. I’m now about 2 months into ownership of the second one and this one has now failed with a lot of data on it, hopefully I can pull the data off using my desktop but this is incredibly frustrating and I would not recommend having to go through this

    Does not transfer at SSD speeds.

    Check your transfer speeds if you get this drive. I did, and the transfer speeds quickly drop down to those slower than a modern portal HDD (as in not an SSD). Also, the included USB A adapter limits the transfer speeds to USB 2.0 speeds. These speeds completely defeat the purpose of buying an SSD. I returned it immediately.

    The drive crashed after only 3 weeks. Luckily I was able to save the content and had backups. Realize disappointed with durability and longevity. This drive was recommended by a Best Buy tech and I wish I would’ve trusted my gut. Have spoken to other IT pros that say the brand is decent but external drives are a new space for them so they aren’t reliable yet.

    Great size, storage and speed I'm a photographer who does all of my editing off this external ssd and it's imporved my workflow so much, it's smaller than a cell phone and super light so you can take it anywhere and extremely fast and responsive, definitely worth it especially for the price
