    I bought this drive for two reasons, both picture-related: 1) fast backup, 2) fast retrieval. So far, it has met both my expectations. I set it up for use with my Mac and it has worked well.

    The drive has one feature I really think is important in a portable drive - it feels solid and has some heft to it, giving the impression of durability.

    Absolutely great performance for the price. I’ve never had an issue with products from Crucial, and in my experience, their products only continue to get better. To be fair Western Digital makes great products too and their products are usually faster, but Crucial always hits that sweet spot for price and performance and that is great for all consumers.
