    I am using the little ssd as an external main drive for OS X. It sped up my system a lot. If your using a old Hdd in a Mac Mini you should upgrade.

    Bought this to back up a couple of MacBooks that were going to take a full 24 hours plus to back up to a home NAS. I was able to back up both Macs in less than an hour. It was so much faster and much easier to verify the data as well.

    Perfect companion for your XBOX. If you’re worried about the storage space on your new console, you can put all of the older generation games on this and not lose a significant amount of performance for your load times.

    I had a 2TB Western Digital HD that works just fine, but I kept worrying it was just going to die on me one day, because I shift it arouncd everyday, job site to home. Now that worry is gone with this compact, solid little guy.

    I have a few of these guys and while I have used a few different variations of these products this one is awesome. We put our sensitive files on them that we shoot for our clients and can be certain they will be protected until we get home. I carry one on me all the time and it just lives in my camera bag. Would highly recommend if you have to keep stuff safe such as video files or photos for clients. The write speed could certainly be faster.

    Lots of storage in very small space

    Hard to imagine so much storage space in such a small package. Access to stored photos and documents is very fast. My only complaint is the connection between the drive and the extra cord to connect to the computer’s USB port loosens easily and can get frustrating. To avoid this, once connected try not to move the drive while you’re using it.

    I use this to backup my MacBook Pro. I wanted an SSD for the added portability and also for the longevity since it may be plugged into the computer for extended times which doesn’t wear out the drive as quickly as it would an HDD

    Amazing that storage has become so small that you can hold an entire terrabyte in the palm of your hand. Easy to take wherever you need it and SanDisk carries the reputation that you know you can trust.
