    Sustained Speeds As Advertised. Never Gets Hot.

    When bench testing, the drive read & wrote at advertised speeds using MacBook Air M4. Under sustained, heavy loads, the drive gets warm, but never did it get too hot to comfortably touch. Note that I did not install the included software. I formatted it for use with MacOS Time Machine and it works fine. The price at Best Buy was very competitive. Shipping was nearly instantaneous. One odd thing is that the manual never mentions when the LED should be illuminated, flashing or off. Occasionally, when I know it is writing or reading, there is no light or the light is solid. Even when the computer is off, sometimes the LED is lit. Beats me!

    Easy to use massive external storage. I use this to save some important files, photos, and videos and it is quick with a lot of space and easy to use. Only 2 drawbacks. Have to download software to lock it and it is a bit pricey.

    Roughly the size of a credit card and about a quarter of an inch thick, (0.31”) this SSD has performed with excellent results. I bought this exclusively to use on my PS5 for PS4 game storage. The results were very fast load up times compared to a traditional HDD. Very happy with the form factor, construction and performance of this small device.

    Does What I Need

    High speed storage that I use for video editing. My only issue is it overheats when moving a lot of files onto it at once, definitely hinders the read/write speeds and slows things down a lot. When using it to edit it works great.

    Can’t ask for a better external drive. It works, and it works well. It has a solid construction, is fast enough for most, if not all normal use cases, and is a good value. Comes in a variety of colors which is nice if you have multiple for different uses.

    I really like this. I offload a lot of documents, videos and photos to this, so I could free up space in my laptop. Also, if my laptop gets stolen, I would still have this as a backup. I like that it's compact and pretty. It copies fast.

    Purchased this solid state drive for 4K video editing on the go. Most recent project was a wedding and the speed of the ssd made the editing a breeze. I found this ssd to be much faster than others i have used in the past, including my western digital portable ssd. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing fast portable storage on the go for a great value.
