    This is the second one I've bought and they've both been trouble-free. Easy to use. Somewhat reasonably priced, there are less expensive options but it's nice having a little insurance.

    I have purchased two of these drives and have found them flawless!! It's covering absorbs day to day shock and knocks well and the price was great. When I need another drive, this is the one I will seek.

    Bought this as a gift for someone who needed the extra storage space. Works pretty good in terms of file transfer and the water resistance is very convenient.

    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!

    I haven't had any issues so far. I like the blue status light where it shows activity when things are being written or read. The case is pretty nice. I am using on a MacBook Pro and formatted in APFS.

    Lacking Customer Service

    The external drive is amazing, but the customer service was lacking. I find it easiest to find a manager, ask for what you want, and get great customer service. The "I have been here for years" associate, does not care nor know what you need.

    This drive is excellent with great read and write speeds. I do recommend using a different usb 3.2 cable to get a higher consistent drive speed.
