    I use this to backup my photos and videos when I go on a trip. It's light, compact, and comes with usb-c to usb-c cable to transfer my pictures from my phone as well.

    using this on the xbox after reading that ssd and usb3 read write times are about the same so internal install not necessary. SOT loads so much faster being installed on it.

    I also own the SanDisk Extreme and WD SSDs. The T5 is my favorite mainly because of style. I have noticed that its speeds seem a little more consistent than the other two.

    Boosted my PS4 Pro

    Got this to boost load times on my PS4 Pro and it saves me on average 30+ seconds on all loading screens. The time really ads up when you only have so much time to play. Also I figure I can always reformat it and use it to do many other things as well, movies, phone, computer etc. Best bang for the buck I have spent in a while. I have recommended to lots of friends who have also agreed it was worth the money.

    It's my second T5 disk and I love it. However, I am thinking to exchange with the 1000GB instead of 500GB.

    Read and write times are very fast. I’m in love with the SSD and appreciate it’s small size. It’s never an issue to take on the go. I recommend a case of sorts to protect it.
