    So far I had put 3 different games on this drive which is 218 gb in total( Battlefield 5, Apex legends, and Rainbow six extraction. The drive is quick, small, and computer games can be played off of it. While installing big titles with prolonged use this 1tb ssd gets hot. I've only had it for two days and everything seems ok. I got both type-c to type-c cords and the type-c to USB. Two of my concerns were 1.) It's a refurbished memory device-2.) That the type-c would easily be pulled out from the port on the t5 SSD but it doesn't and about the refirb I will see if this lasts and if so for how long. When I first plugged this device into my laptop it wasn't showing up as a usable memory device. I thought the ssd came faulty but a quick YouTube video later helped me enable my laptop to detect and use the t5 SSD as a storage device. So far things are good.

    Needed something to backup my MacBook Pro and this fits the bill perfectly. It's small, fast and portable. Love it.

    So far the drive is working well after it was partitioned. Only gave 4 stars because I only received a USB-C to USB-A cable, but it is advertised as including both a USB-C to USB-C and a USB-C to USB-A cable

    Used this as an external drive for an xbox one. Works great, but only bought it for aesthetics. any SSD and a usb/sata adapter works as well.

    I use this to record surveillance videos on my Tesla M3 sentry cameras. It works fine, and there is plenty of room for video clips. Hoping it lasts. Time will tell.
