    Phenomenal Fast SSD - Use for TimeMachine

    I initially bought this SSD as a backup for my TimeMachine on my Mac. However, I’ve also been able to use it for my Logic projects. A few weeks ago, I purchased a new Mac, and this SSD left me in awe. It transferred all my old Mac’s data to my new one in about 15 to 25 minutes. Even the Apple Genius specialist was impressed. I highly recommend this product. If you’re concerned about the color, it blends seamlessly with the Space Black Mac color.

    Needed a faster drive as photos and videos are taking up more space as resolution increases and my data was trapped in the cloud somewhere. I bought this drive thinking it was a temporary fix and it turned out to be a godsend. There are faster drives available BUT… many are rated at 25%-30% of the total read/write cycles of this drive meaning they’ll last 25%-30% of the estimated drive life. It’s fast enough to do anything an intermediate user would need to use with the benefit of password protection and encryption. Just make sure you don’t lose your password if you activate one, not sure if you can recover it if that were to happen. Password protection and 750-850 Read/write speeds on my Mac (750 read on my M1/850 read on my Intel model) make it 10x faster than my old external WD HDD and I’m future proofed for years to come. Excellent value and performance. I usually shoot for the stars when buying new components but this purchase had NO Remorse associated with it. I actually want to gift one to everyone I know who has had issues recovering media from their phones or clouds. It can download entire albums in record time depending on the size of your library. I’d highly recommend this product and will probably be buying 1-2 more in the near future

    Super small & light. It's a solid product, but it scored much higher on my PC running CrystalDiskMark compared to running the Blackmagic disk speed test on my M1 Mac Mini. Read speed: 1,044 MB/s vs.696 MB/s. Write speed: 942 MB/s vs.743 MB/s. Strangely, it scored higher on the write speed compared to the read speed on my Mac.

    I bought this SSD 1TB external hard drive for my wife to store photos and videos so that she can free up her C drive. The size is incredibly small but it is fast and she loves it.

    I caught this on sale, great buy! I use it with my laptop/mobile DAW for storing samples and music files. Write speed is fast enough for my use, small yet sturdy build. Has a premium feel to it. I will definitely buy this model again with more storage.

    Super fast storage in a small sleek package. I am easily move large last-minute files to my MacBook Pro with ease. I’ve tried many drives that would boast fast speeds but feel short so I was a bit skeptical at first but very happy in the end.

    This a very good ssd for both mac or Windows, I use this for my new iMac 24” that only has 256GB, it’s very fast, light, premium looking design. It’s a must to have, 1tb for only about $145, that’s a steal.

    I’ll start off by saying that you CANNOT run Xbox Series X/S titles from this device. However, you CAN run regular Xbox One games from it. I use it on my new Series X console and I figured out that it’s best to use this to store all of the Xbox One/360 titles on and the next-gen Series X/S on the internal drive. You can, however, store the next-gen titles on here, but again you CANNOT run the next-gen titles form here, only the previous-gen ones. Still a great SSD with good storage, and real-time transfer speeds of about 2.5 Gbps. Solid purchase.

    This was my first time purchasing an external SSD. I have been very satisfied with the product. Wish I would have bought the 2T version. I keep all my media files on this and have never had an issue running Light room, watching movies, or listening to music while this is plugged into my laptop.
