    Nice color. Lots of problems trying to transfer data from Mac mini to new Mac mini. I thought it was going to be easy. I may return and get a case and separate ssd to copy my old mini to ssd so I can use as primary drive. Not impressed More disappointed

    Unfortunately with this product, I have only been seeing 40 mb/s transfer speeds with this device on my Alienware Aurora R11. To double check if it was my pc that was the problem, I hooked up the device to my Xbox. Xbox stated " Storage must be USB 3.0 or faster. This device is too slow."

    BLUF: Do not buy the T7 unless you have a handful of tiny files that you want to occasionally transfer! Advertised speeds are not for sustained transfers! For a 10GB + file, expect to see it transfer as advertised- at first -and then expeditiously drop off to usb 2.0 speeds. Hands down the worst SSD purchase I have made. Spend less money on T5 and get WAY more reliable performance!

    The product seems fine. I'm a bit disappointed with the fact that less than 30 days after purchase it drops $10 in price. I request a price match and it's "after the 15 day return period". Maybe I'll look at another business in the future when I need to purchase tech products.

    I got the 1G version of this external drive a couple years ago. Put all my photos on, saved tons of space on my phone and laptop, so I love it. But this 2G thing…..I got to back up movies and other media. Figured there’s by no compatibility issues since it’s literally the same thing just more storage. But this is $190 of useless hardware. I plug it in, nothing. I looked up troubleshooting tips, nothing. Can’t even locate it anywhere in the deep system code cuz one tip was to rename it. Can’t rename something that isn’t there…. So I’m not impressed, very disappointed and refusing to pay outrageous Geek Squad fees to get help. So looks like I’ll be returning it. Very disappointed customer. Best Buy is usually great. Not this time.
