    This device was exactly what I needed! It's speedy, sturdy.....and PERFECT!!! I wish that this device was available to me 10 years ago. Life would have been so much easier at that time.

    Other editor friends had recommended this particular model, and I'm happy I finally picked up a couple. Solid build, and the transfer speeds are amazing. Happy I did the jump to this SSD drive. Highly recommend this one.

    Extra Storage for PS5

    Bought as an external hard drive for my PS5. Works great, no lag or issues. All old PS4 games can play directly from it but PS5 games need to be moved over to the console's harddrive before playing - only drag.

    This storage device is very fast. I use it to offload the pictures and videos from my camera. It takes just a minute or two to transfer 150GB of data. My older drives this would be an hour + for that amount.

    I play AAA titles like Marvel Midnight Suns, Death Stranding, Elden Ring straight from this external hard drive and it runs like a dream. I have it hooked usb-c to usb-c. My gaming laptop has a high speed usb-c input. If your device only has usb-a, it may not work as well for you.

    One of the best SSDs on the market. Great writing speed and overall quality. The fact that it is protected from water, dust and falling is a great addition to confidence if you use it outdoors.

    Rock solid. I have had many portable platter style drives and this ssd tops them all. Compact, rugged. Can handle some water on it. Boots lightning fast. Great as an external extra drive and finds data faster than any I have owned before.

    Love this product, and it is worth the extra $50 than if I have gotten the HDD. It so quick to transfer videos from my Go Pro micro SD card. And it is pretty much plug and play.

    I needed a drive to download a bunch of files from cloud storage because I was stopping multiple service subscriptions. the drive works well with macOS (and APFS). most importantly, it is fast and has USB C.
