    Easy to format and use. Load time is much quicker than the PS4’s internal drive. I would recommend this SSD if you need more storage space.

    Average true transfer rates around 450MB/s are pretty darn impressive. Wish it came in different colors but I won't complain with this kind of performance.

    Transferring a 125GB file took a while, even with USB-C. It also heated up the device a good bit more than I expected. It wasn't so hot that I couldn't pick it up, but it was a concern. Transfer of smaller files goes quickly and the device remains cool. If you use this for video editing of larger files, I would recommend good ventilation to deal with any heat.
