    I didn't realize the power SSD has when it comes to gaming. The loading process is fast and seamless especially when playing ps4 games on the ps5. Next gen games take A LOT of memory (ps4 games too) so having an extra 1TB is especially helpful to ensure internal memory is not fully maxed out. Been wanting to purchase one of these for two years but waited until it got cheaper.

    This thing was worth the money. Fast upload speed, small, light, and lots of memory. Super easy to drag-and-drop files for the graphic designer on the go.

    This was just what I needed. My IMac was slowing to the point of not being able to use it. It’s internal rotary HD was gone. I’m using this external but running my iMac completely from this drive. SSD is so much faster, it boots in half the time and runs as smooth as glass. It’s like I got a new iMac for under $200.... I highly recommend this to anyone looking to speed up and renew there Mac or PC. Saved me big time!

    Paid the premium to get what most of the reviewers I found said was the best of the best. Been very happy with it. I have the older USB version, not the most current USB C model. However, I find that any type of file transfers are super fast. Even huge amount of mp3 files copied in no time. I can't imagine how much faster the USB C model is. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality portable back-up storage. Sure beats old HDD that was the size of paperback novels!

    Small size, but large capacity provides add on for lower storage machines. Quick transfer rate and not heat. Multiple cables for transfer.

    This is my 2nd one. That should tell you how much I like this item. Great product. Works like a charm and I feel my files are a whole lot safer with this external hard drive because it has no moving parts. My first external hard drive had a rotating disce inside and it went bad and deleted a bunch of my files. I want to jump off a cliff, but instead the Geek Squad manager told me about the solid state external drive and 'saved my life'. She's great!!!!
