    Excellent product. I use it as a source for my sound library. I use multiple DAW apps like Reason 10 and AKAI MPC 2.0 and it is screaming fast and there is no hesitation when I load up sound files into a project so I can focus on the song idea.

    When I bought a new laptop I was looking for an external drive to transfer files from my old desktop. This has tons of space and is fast and easy to use. I always read the reviews and this got a good rating. It's small but powerful.

    The housing comes in an aluminum inclosure, and when picked up it’s incresibly light. It almost feels like an empty floor display model. The reads and writes are super fast. My only complaint is the very short cord that it comes with.

    This SSD is super fast and I can tell that my games load much quicker. It’s a little pricey but you get much better results from an SSD than your typical HDD and it’s way more reliable. I’d definitely recommend!

    I purchased this for my daughter, a graphic design major in college. She eats through memory fairly rapidly. This is a very small and slim device that won’t add much bulk to her bag. Lots of memory in a small device. I hope it works well for her.

    I purchased this SSD for my Mackie live music mixer. I record shows on it. It has a very large capacity and is lightning fast. It also can stand the abuse of moving the gear better than a disk-type external drive.

    I use this to store and edit 4K video as well as raw images. Works great extremely fast and small enough to throw in a backpack pocket. Added benefit if your phone is USB-C, makes it super easy to transfer big files between devices.

    I heard great reviews on this product and needed a fast, reliable drive to edit photos/video on, and picked this one up. This thing is incredible and I'm so glad I purchased it. I also bought a 1TB one as well.

    I originally bought this to use my Galaxy S9 and it worked great in that role. After I moved back to iOS devices, it still does great swing duty for transporting files from work to home. It is fast enough that we tend to reach for this to move large files rather than doing it over the network. At its size, it’s easy to fit in an jeans pocket. It’s small enough to use instead of flash drives in most situations with much faster read/write speeds and far fewer corrupted files. It has survived in my pockets and work bags and my wife’s bag and it’s still going strong. For the price and size offered, it’s a great drive.

    I love that the size of these drives is what they are, about the size of a small stack of business cards. And the transfer speeds, both read and write are awesome. Makes for a great partner to a low on storage space MacBook Pro.

    This 500 Gb Ssd will be more than enough to store the photos from the last 40+ years that I have scanned along with the digital ones that I will take for quite a while. Very fast and compact.

    I didn't really need another portable SSD but had to get it when it was on sale. Extremely fast though it's not a nvme drive, it's more than speedy enough for large transfers. Small and durable enough for every day transport.
