    Bought this to use with my PS4 Pro, and it cut load times by about three times, in certain scenarios. (Currently playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey)

    Had a HD crash on me. Figured I’d reduce the chances of that happening again and bought the SSD. Super fast processing and plenty of space. Will buy another soon!

    It’s small, but it holds everything. Years of work and photos. It’s small enough to hide and very discreet. You can add a password for protection too. I love it!
