    Not too much to say about it. Got it because it is SSD instead of moving parts and it is a lot smaller than the standard hard drive style externals.

    I was going to get a apple time capsule for my MacBook and decided to go with a ssd drive. Took about 3 mins for 3 gigs of data to backed up. Awesome.

    This is my second purchase of the T5 500 GB SSD. This one is a gift for a family member just starting grad school. She needed a dependable way to back up her school work, and this will do the trick. I previously purchased the same drive over one year ago for me to store my music collection. I ripped all of my audio cd's in flac format onto my computer hard drive, then copied everything onto the SSD for a backup. I also scanned a ton of old photos and still have room to spare.

    Have had some to use this device and find it to be very reliable and does not get hot at all when in operation. Also quite fast being a SSD.

    I like being able to keep a portable backup with me when i travel if I ever need it. The drive is fast and easy to store. I had to buy other cords because the cords that came with it didn't work. However, that was probably just isolated to my product. Overall, it was a great product and totally worth the money.
