    This drive is small and Solid State, so it's durable as well. It has very fast transfer speeds, and connects via USB-C, which also powers it so there's no need to carry a power adapter. It's more expensive than other external drives of comparable capacity, but it's higher quality as well. It's fast, reliable, and easy to carry with you, and like many external drives, comes bundled with software for Windows, Mac, and I believe for Android and iOS as well.

    So far the T5 it works great Actually I own the T7 honestly I’m very satisfy with both versions I’m not doing any Video works. So the speed of T5 is very is very sufficient for me Transfer & Edited on IPAD Pro images don’t see necessary that T7 will save me noticeable time. On my PC the transfers with the old drives are about 75 to 90mb per sec Even the T7 doesn’t past So T5 is more practical when the price is $30 to 40 cheaper .

    The first time I connected the device to my laptop using C-port, I got an error message but the USB 3 worked fine. Later I tried the C-port again and no error came up. Other than that, it cuts the backup time a lot. Its light, small and good for the road. I hope they make 2TB version soon "with a reasonable price"!

    My daughters laptop became full at school and she needed to back up stuff. Having used the other hard drives before which has a cheaper price tag they tend to fail when you least expect it. This hard drive pocket size fast transfers and durable. This is my second unit and I swear by it. My first hard drive was purchased 4 years ago and still working today. If you looking to do data that you will need around then spend the extra few bucks.
