    Amazingly almost as small as a hotel bar of soap, yet has the feel and weight of a glass paperweight. Just plug it in to your computer and it guides you from there. When finished using it, it shows you how to "eject" prior to unplugging. Very happy with this drive so far.

    Needed external SSD drive for an old Mac for both speed and storage. Does everything it claims and then some. Just remember to change the name of your original HD to something other than Macintosh HD.

  • Not recognizable in Windows Recovery Media.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased this drive to use for storing Windows images to re-image laptops. We have 5 brands of laptops and none of them would recognize this drive when booted from the Windows recovery media. My larger Wester Digital SSD My Passport drives work great. I purchased the Crucial X8 because it was smaller. Big mistake. I no longer can ever recommend Crucial. No longer a trusted brand.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
