    Used it to back up a Mac Book. It was straightforward and did the job. It was a bit more expensive that I thought an external drive should be - but Best Buy had it on the shelf.

    I bought this for MacBook Time Machine backups and it works great. Way faster than network backup. It gets hot though, I don’t know how that will affect its life long term.

    Working great, love the space. Games run perfectly, even with a cable that shows a low performance. Dropped it once and still works fine. I have mine taped to my laptop. Though I did see one on Amazon for $75. It was Prime Day however.

    This is a nice little drive that fits into the palm of your hand. I bought this product because I needed to update the operating system on my laptop but I didn't have enough available drive space. Backup data transfer from my laptop to the drive was quick and easy. OS update was not as quick but it was easy thanks to this SSD.

    **Purchased on 11/30/2020 Black Friday sale, after eyeing it since release early 2020** Edit: Make SURE that both your computer and the USB-C cable you are using is capable of the USB3.2Gen2 speeds that this offers!! Alright guys listen up, Im a wannabe film maker/photographer alright, and on top of that I am a full time student studying biology and nursing during this pandemic. Check this all out For school, being online, I record my entire screen with audio for every lecture (because I cant focus for the life of me and I require reference all the time, also my memory is crap lol) so that's about 3-4 lectures a day (with each recording being 3-5GB) and I go between keeping them on my MacBook's hard drive and off loading them onto this SSD. So I have a Fuji X-T3 and a MacBook Pro 13in(Intel i5, early 2020, 16GB RAM, 1TB storage) for all my creative desires... For photography, I shoot in full uncompressed RAW with TONS of "spraying and praying" (so obviously that's GIGABYTES of data, on average about 60-80GB per shoot) and for video, I shot a bunch of weddings in full 4K, 60fps 10-bit 4:2:0 at 200mbps H.265/HEVC (between of 240-320GB of footage per wedding) GUYS. LISTEN- Not ONLY can this thing transfer 600GB of data in under 12 minutes... Playback of ANY video (my lectures or footage from my camera) is STUTTER FREE!!!! But WAIT!! THERES MORE!! I use Final Cut Pro X for my film making needs... The T7 can handle NON-PROXY EDITING!!!! This translates into NOT having to spend time waiting for optimized media AND saving space on both my MacBook and this SSD!! YOU CAN EDIT 4K H.265 CODEC WITH NO LAG!!! If you cannot already tell, I am very excited and IMPRESSED at both the performance and value of this thing. I cannot believe I was thinking about returning this!! I also have the 500GB T5, and lemme tell ya, the T7 is almost TWICE as fast in sequential processes. Basically, BUY THIS!! Hopefully this helps out anyone on the fence

    I installed Mac OS on this SSD drive and now run my iMac (Intel with a tiny SSD drive). It starts up in less than half the time and no more slowdowns when I open multiple programs (I did add more RAM). Plus I can take it with me If I need to work elsewhere and have access to a Mac.

    Upgraded my 2017 iMac’s HDD with this external SSD

    I am using this SSD as an external boot drive for a 2017 iMac with a failed internal HDD. Using the Thunderbolt cable, this drive performs even better than the stock drive, making the computer feel extremely snappy. The drive is tiny, less than half the width of a stack of playing cards. Very pleased with this purchase.
