    I have used these drives for quite some time. I do a lot of file transfer (video, music, phot, etc). I have never had these drives fail me. Fast and compact.

    I have two of these drives that I use daily with my MacBook Pro. They are small, fast and decently priced. I have one drive that I load photos from recent shoots/weddings and edit from. Then I use my second drive for gaming, personal photos and office work. I know the there are SSD’s that are faster out there, but these are the best Bang for your buck. I also like that they have 2 different cords to match your setup for any device. These are good drives and very reliable.

    Expanded PS4 memory

    I bought this for my PS4 as one game nearly wiped out the internal storage. I use it externally and have had zero issues caused by it. Literally plugged it in and let the system do its thing. Minimal user in po ut needed on set up. I would recommend always powering down your PS4 if you have this plugged in and not use the power save feature if you won't be using the system for more than 2 days. I left my system in power save, lost power, and almost corrupted the memory.
