    Have only used it a couple of times but this SSD seems very sturdy. The transfer speeds this drive is capable of is quite impressive. I also like the fact you can encrypt the SSD so a password is required if desired for access to content. Maybe it's just the user, but I had trouble linking this SSD to an iPad. Have other users had this issue? I had no trouble connecting the SSD to my android phone and laptop.

    I was wary of the drive being compatible with my Galaxy and my Surface, as I am using it effectively as a transfer drive and a storage device while traveling. I was worried for nothing. Being a USB C, the transfer rates are unreal, and being an SSD the data is as bulletproof as possible. Only reason not to get one is if you wanted more memory.

    This little guy is blazing fast. I plugged it into my PS4 Pro, and she’s been juiced up ever since. I saw a review on YouTube about it. Ironically it was being tested on a game I was tired of being so slow. Low and behold that game now runs like it’s on a PC. Ok maybe not PC but so close. I mean very close. My brother bought one also and is extremely pleased. I will definitely be getting a larger capacity one soon.

    This is a great little drive. It works great with my MacBook Pro. It is quick for my needs and I have not experienced any lag or slowness of the drive. I run an OS off of the drive with no issues at all. The small size also allows me to travel with it very easily.
