    This drive was purchased with the intention of using it as a backup drive for Time Machine on my iMac. I absolutely love it. It backs up so quickly, especially when plugged in to a USB-C port. It takes roughly a half an hour to back up 230gb of data as opposed to over an hour with a traditional drive. Setup was simple and straight forward and the drive is absolutely silent. I would highly recommend this item.

    Have been working with a standard external hard drive and I noticed that the SSD external hard drive is significantly faster! I use it for video editing and makes my work flow SO much faster and smoother. I recommend. Price is where it should be for the quality and the product. Only complaint is that the drive is aluminum and doesn’t come with some sort of case to protect it from scratching.

    Easy to use, but doesn't do anything extra. It's good, just not over the top excellent. It also doesn't come with directions, just plug it in and it works which makes me nervous trying any of the options offered. Very expensive is the downside for 500gb.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
