    I liked it but just didn't feel it was any faster than any other drives. I have a Macbook Pro and when I used this drive it showed up fast. Nice. However in the transfer of 100GB it still took just as long than any other external drive. The price is a little high for me for that amount of space. I love the feel of it. And so portable when traveling with other heavy equipment.

    WOW! This SSD has been a powerhouse! I bought a small case on Amazon because I take it with me in my backpack everywhere my MacBook goes and it has been exactly what I need. It is pricey, but all SSD's right now are. IMO, though, it's well worth the price and I've been 100% satisfied. Highly recommended.

    This is fast. In my initial transfer of data it took 85 minutes to transfer almost a terabyte of data. My last hard drive took all night to transfer that much data. On top of that I got it for $100 off. It was such a good deal I got one for my wife as well.

    This drive is fast and simple to use. I use it as a storage option for photos. Pulling files from the drive seems as fast as direct from MacBook Pro. I did a ton of research before choosing this SSD and after 3 weeks of daily use, I'm very happy with the results. Solid purchase (no pun).

    Have purchased over the last couple years at least 20 of these and they all have worked flawlessness. We used them for location recording on cameras and then connect them directly to laptop for post production. They are also great to travel. with.

    Was not expecting anything great with this drive but I have been impressed so far - used with USB3.x ports things are good but remember the speed of this drive is related to slowest device. From internal SSD to this drive, things move quickly. Copy across USB2 port, things are just like an average external USB drive. The USB3 cord is short but does not create a problem for my mobile work.
