    Exactly what I was looking for. Fast, Solid, Sturdy. I came from using a Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD and it ran pretty warm when used. This gets warm too but less warm, while being a little larger in size physically.

    I would give it 5 stars if it had a longer connecting cable. The cable is so SHORT!!! It is a total pain when trying to connect to our iMac. Other then that.. it has been realiable. I have put it through the ringer and still going strong!!!!

    The 2TB SSD drive is light weight, sturdy and durable. It is easy to take with you. No moving parts and a great option to backup up important files.

    Great drive for my PS5 to playmy ps4 games. Faster speed than a traditional HDD and it loads my open world games very fast. You cannot load PS5 on it so keep that in mind but if you have a good PS4 digital library and want to migrate to the PS5, it's the way to go.

    Nothing beats solid state drives and this is a fast one. I use this as my primary storage for current video projects when editing on my MacBook Pro. SSD’s are getting cheaper every year and this has allowed my workflow to become much faster!

    great product, small , slim. silent, but powerful. the experience of buying the product through best buy was very very unprofessional. my first attempt to buy this product in the best by store failed. know one could find this item in the store, there was a spot for it. but no stock of the item. i was then told to get on my phone or the store computer and see if i could order, now its on me to track down this item, the store help was useless. i made the purchase on line. the ship date changed, and changed, and changed. i did finally get this great product. best buy did nothing to help. in the future, i will not be giving best buy any of my business.

    Really fast and beautiful device. It is pricey but it’s worth it. The supply USB cable is a little short so it makes the SSD hangs in the air while connecting to the CPU.

    Excellent drive that comes with usb and usb-c cables. Formatted for Mac be sure to give Steam 100% access to drive in securities to ensure game play off G drive. Excellent USA-based support. A real gem!

    This drive did not work with my Samsung tv. It was difficult to set up and instructions were so small they were unreadable. Bought 2 of them and had to return both. Not worth the trouble you have to go through to get the 2 TB you pay for. Not worth the expense.

    Functions great right out of the box. Needs no reformatting for Macs which I like. It automatically backs up my computer with Time Machine every time I plug it in.
