    I had tried various "High Speed" USB thumb drives for my dash camera. I had stepping and dropped cameras and just assumed it was growing pains of the car. I then switched to this drive and all the issues went away. For the cost this is way more cost effective than the USB thumb drives that seemed to have a high fail rate. If you have the room this is a much better solution that a thumb drive.

    Strangely only the 250GB / 1TB units are approved by BlackMagic. Got this one because of the sale price and storage for my money. Works great. Gets slightly warm - but never hot. Fits perfectly in my SmallRig setup that came with the BMPCC 6K. I also like the color. Reminds me of satin finished products we ran in my street racer days. Ahem, I never said that!!!

    This review is for the blue 500 GB model. I was able to copy one large file from my Surface Pro 3 at write speeds of 236 MBps or about 1.8 Gbps. But I'm using this as a portable storage device in a Windows to Go environment. This means I can install Windows 10 on this SSD and boot from it via USB. Loading from computers with USB 3 is very fast and responsive. Overall, I am happy with this portable SSD.
