    I purchased this product on recommendation by BB rep as well as a recent tech article that this drive would greatly improve performance on my MacBook Pro (2009) and it did. My laptop books up so much faster and navigating between apps is fast too.

    Well I bought this as a second hard drive to add to my Xbox one. Primarily as a current game hard drive. It dramatically cut the load times between game sets. I.E. Battlefield 1 online play. Which allowed me plenty of time to grab a vehicle before others even started to load into the pregame countdown. On average it was 30 seconds faster loading before the first person even got to the team screen. It's good and between it, and the external adapter box was a snap to set up. It's like perfect.

    A very speedy SSD, while not as fast as some of the higher end competitors this SSD will be great for most users. People who upgrade from a hard drive to this will be amazed by the boot up speed increase and the swift application openings.
