    We've only had this drive for a short period of time so hoping that it lasts but I will say it's incredibly fast. Both read and write make such a difference and we're able to access data much quicker now. I don't think we'll be able to go back to "spinning disks" ever again for accessing data unless it's purely backup scenarios.

    I bought this to specifically transfer lots of family videos that had been converted into digital files for storage on something other than the desktop computer. It works great - the transfer onto this external drive was so much faster than I thought it would be. I am able to move things on and off the drive for editing and I feel confident that they are safe.

    Very nice drive. Came with encryption software to protect the data in case the drive is lost or stolen. Large amount of storage for all those digital photos that you need to keep. Speed to read and write is very nice as well. I use it to keep copies of all of my photos and electronic copies of important documents outside my home.

    I bought it for the purpose of cloning my Mac's hard drive in preparation of performing a clean install of Big Sur. It has native USB 3 (Thunderbolt) connectivity which helps make this drive much faster than a SATA and one can tell immediately. It made quick work of cloning aprx 400 GB. Worth it. Naturally, I'll have to wait and see regarding durability.
