    Sound build quality of the drive itself. Usb-C cable was not a sung fit when I tried to insert it into my MB. Software it came with could have been more intuitive.

    Great SSD, Bad Best Buy

    I purchased this drive on September 9th, 2019, at first I just used it for small files and just recently downloaded a large game that I had intended to transfer to my NVME drive, but apparently my external SSD is corrupt and I cannot transfer any large files from with, without it flat lining the transfer rate. Overall corrupt SSD, which happens, but the fourteen day return policy is bogus. At least a thirty day defective policy for drives.

    I was looking for external hard drive storage for computer/tablet and my Samsung note 9. Employee told me it would be compatible, most lilely because it is a Samsung product. Once home and multiple failed attempts, I read the insert to my dismay- it is NOT compatible with Note 9 or certain phones; although the list was long as to what is compatible. So had to return and got a headache with in store for the return.
