    We've bought several of these little hard drives and they're awesome. Will probably buy more until the larger solid state external drives become less expensive.

    This drive is great, especially for newer Macs with Thunderbolt 3/USB C. The read and write speeds are crazy. My only regret is not getting the 1TB.
