    It is great for an external storage device. Not as fast as an internal SSD, but definitely an upgrade from a standard hard drive

    Had read some reviews and couldn't imagine that the device could be the size of a box of earrings. Actual storage is a little less than 500GB, with an option to password-protect the device. Didn't really experience the lightning-fast upload speeds which I'd read in the reviews but perhaps more a result of my USB connections being somewhat outdated.

    Great value for the price, it’s small and compact so it doesn’t take up much room. Works great as PS4 extended storage device.
