    Fantastic transfer speeds, nice design, compact enough to fit into a small backpack slot and easy to set up. I would definitely recommend one of these to someone that needs more SSD storage.

    Small portable 1TB “G” drive. Portable, heavy duty 3.0 USB drive. I like the capacity and quality of “G” drives, but I must say I like the sandsk ssd portable USB over this one.

    This was an upgrade from a Seagate 1TB HDD. Although speeds aren’t EXTREMELY different, the G-Drive is faster. Plus, I don’t have to worry about taking care of the ssd physically as I would a hard drive, taking stress off my shoulders. Overall a good buy.

    System works great and using it everyday... Make sure that run the Windows exe before using it . This formats the device for WIN 10 and you get the full 1 TByte . Otherwise you get only 3GBytes. My mistake in not reading the instructions .

    Nice little SSD drive

    Form factor is great, it is about 4" x 2" x 0.5" in size. No sound, which I guess it's expected for SSD, and no delays when accessing data. If the 2TB was a bit cheaper, I would have gone with that one, but the 1TB has been working great so far. I bought this for reliability, so we will see, but for now, this has been perfect.

    I'm very pleased with this drive. 1TB in a palm size drive, for me is remarkable. The quality of construction appears to be excellent. The drive is as easy to use as a thumb drive. I loaded all of my data onto it which amounted to over 200 GB. Using it to store all my photographs as well as a working drive with my MacBook. The drive comes ready to use with Mac, but you have to use the Windows instruction if you want to use for PC.
