    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.

    It was a good value for the price when I bought it. It is not as fast as I thought it would be. That may be due to the speed of my computer's USB-A & USB-C ports. It is definitely faster than external hard drives I use also. I was hoping it would be as fast as my two internal drives (2TB m2.NVme and 2TB SSD). Maybe that was wishful thinking. I am still happy with it and use it as an additional system external backup drive.

    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.

    Works great on my xbox x as an external. Great for storing games, but you will not be able to play any games that are made for the xbox x only games, but you will be able to play older games that are not X games.

    Got to say i was a little reserved trying this out for my ps5. But this works great no issues at all. Its super fast and easy to setup i Highly recommend this drive to ps5 owners or someone looking for a super fast ssd.. one Tip for ps5 is You need to take off The USB A adapter on the cord for the ps5 to see it and format it.. use the USB C

    Pretty Good, Just Make Sure It's plugged into a USB 3 outlet at bare minimum otherwise it won't work well enough to play any game. Also may not be fast enough for certain newer games so make sure to check.
