    It's small lightweight and didn't get too warm when plugged into my MacBook Pro for long periods of time. I just wish I could transfer things from this SSD drive to my Micro SD card when connected to my MacBook Pro. Transfer speeds on my Samsung 360 book 3 is not as advertised but I had three transfers coming out of this thing and it handled the transfers without burning up. I call that a win. Even if it was not as fast as advertised.

    'm a filmmaker, and I do my own editing, so I'm in constant need of LARGE hard drives to transfer projects to different production departments, as well as deliver films to distributors. These small but huge portable hard drives are perfect for what I need. Reliable with a great price.

    The bundled USB cable does not work at all. Windows showed malfunctioned device. When I connected with another new USB cable, the SSD is good in performance. It took me an hour to find out the problem.

    I like this device but it has limited connections available. I had to go back to a slightly older laptop. There is no way to connect via USB port so I couldn't open saved files I had to use a port and an adapter. Other than that, it is very light, small, and holds lots of data.
