    Solid SSD. Does seem to have slower write speeds than expected though the bottle neck might be my 8 year old computer instead.

    It's been reliable but if weight is a factor, it is heavy for it's size & capacity. That's the trade off for being more rugged. No issues with unmounting itself like other brands.

    This is the second T7 I've bought and there's not much to say. It works great. Its one of the few SSD's I've found that I can get to with my phone, Mac & PC. This is just a rubberized version of the original T7.

    It was a struggle to upload photos to it at first, but works great after some tries. Definitely recommend it if you’re out of storage due to photos and videos on your iPhone! Just buy an adapter and you’d be fine!
