    I bought this as a secondary storage for my xbox one, I didn't need a lot of extra storage so I looked at the SSD for the extra access speed over a typical HD. I move over the games I am currently playing to the SSD which still holds about 4-5 games at 240gb. But the speed and load times is where this drive shines!! Most load screen times and fast travels in games like the division have been cut in half!

    I've used this with Windows 10 and my Pixelbook (Chrome OS) with no issues. Very speedy transfers, which makes it my go to when I need to copy large files like VM images or ISOs. The only thing that could make it better is if it used a new style USB C connector, but that's a very minor complaint.

    Had to buy this to replace my failing logic board on my mac air which resulted in not reading the old internal hard drive. Got double the storage space for a great price and I love it so far.

    I purchased this since I'm working from home, and I needed something to store work documentation on. I guarantee that when I'm done this is going to be my travel external drive! I was extremely surprised at the small size.

    This is a good harddrive. SSDs are much better than mechanical harddrives, and this one functions as advertised and is sufficiently fast.

    Small, inexpensive SSD. The SLC write cache is fairly small so writes will slow pretty quickly. Okay for every day use though.
