    One of the best external drives to have for shooting and editing project. Ultra fast read and write times. Very durable and transportable.

    This has been one of the best purchases I have made from Best Buy! Small and powerful! Holds all of the stuff that bogs down the main PC but is just as easy to access.

    Perfect for backing up my pictures and videos. I bought this specifically to have as a storage device to use while editing and making videos instead of keeping everything on my phone or tablet.

    Great drive for dedicated Mac use

    Purchased this to use as a dedicated external drive for Mac mini. The reformatting for dedicated Mac use (i.e., no swapping back and forth between Mac and PC) is a bit complicated for a newbie with the different formatting options to select from. But once formatted correctly it is extremely fast and a great option for 2TB of external storage compared to upgrading the Mac's internal storage.

    The product is fine. My issue was the Best uh on My. Zion does not have enough cashiers . Took 20 minutes to check out and even then the cashiers were burned out. You need to pay them more and hire more staff.

    Great secondary storage for laptops

    Great secondary storage for those who didn't get enough in their laptop and can't add more because it's soldered. I have a 1TB drive in my Macbook Pro and I was running out of space because of how large my photo library has become since I got a full frame camera and have been storing raws and using Lightroom (DMGs are stupid big.) I have also have several Steam games stored on it and they run just fine. I've benchmarked the drive and it consistently gives me ~850MB/s reads and writes excluding file system overhead, so it's likely saturating the 10Gbps USB 3.1 bus on my laptop. I was able to copy my ~380GB photo library in under 10 minutes. All in all, it's a pretty good deal if you get it while it's on sale like I did for $140. With that said, always remember to keep a backup. I just rolled it into my Time Machine (Apple,) backup to my external 8TB rotational media drive for redundancy because devices can and do fail.

    Nice, small, fast, and got it on sale for $99 (Black Friday 2023). May never see that price again, but if I do, I'm buying four more! Right now, at $169, it's too expensive!

    This little hard drive is a powerful yet easy drive to use. It quiet, and fast. I use this to backup my date for my MacBook and have never had a problem. I would not only recommend this but I should be a requirement if you have important data to back up.

    Revived a failing late 2012 iMac

    I was able to restore my late 2012 iMac (bought in 2013) using this beauty. The Fusion Drive (mechanical section) had failed. I loaded iOS to a flash drive using shift-command-R on boot up. Split the Fusion drive. Finally restored my 1.1 TB system to this 2TB external drive using Time Machine (from a 5TB external HD). Now the iMac runs faster and better than new from this external SSD over the speedy USB 3 port.
