    Got this external SSD to speed up an old Apple Mac Mini. It is my boot drive, running through a USB port and it flies. The internal HD can’t compare and can barely run Mac OS. But this is as fast as if it was installed internally. Changing out the internal drive is tough and this works straight from the USB. Great deal.

    As a filmmaker, storage is a necessity. I shoot with heavy codecs that take up a lot of space, so after purchasing several 500gb T5 SSD's, I decided to buy one of these to save some Thunderbolt 3 ports on my touchbar macbook pro. The speed of USB 3.1 Gen 2 is really quick, so I quickly found an appreciation for this drive. Highly would recommend for anyone with compatibility of Gen2 speeds or faster.
