    Bought this SSD to use as my startup hard drive for my 2017 iMac. The iMac has a 5200 rpm HD that was horribly slow. By installing the Mac OS on this SSD, my imac is unbelievably fast.

    I record concerts and school events with 4 or more cameras. I've used this drive to store the camera files, then used the multicam editor in Powerdirector to combine the files.

    This portable drive is perfect for backing up any sensitive data which you might want to keep secure in a separate location. You can never be too careful when it comes to data theft.

    Works incredible with my PS4 pro. Division 2 loads up insanely fast. Went from 40 seconds using the built in HDD to 10 seconds using this SSD instead. Highly recommended!

    It's a bit pricey. But being small enough to fit in your pocket. And no moving parts like your common external hard drives. Dynamite piece of equipment. Size matters.
