    I bought this as a smaller physical sized storage with lots of space. I only wish it seemed heavier duty. Feels very fragile. Love the usb c. Getting tired of so many different cables.

    I didn't realize when I bought this that I couldn't use this as a secondary drive. It's just for file storage, but that's ok. Need extra file storage anyway.

    Nice little SSD to carry everywhere. Primary use is to store Camera RAW photos on it and edit in Lightroom. Flawlessly works as intended.

    Device is bottlenecked by computer plugged into, so might have slow transfer speed making the device same as a small memory stick .
