    Very light and very portable. Make it easier to carry it around with plenty of storage. Bonus about it is that this can be use with IPad Pro 2020 because it’s usb-c which mean large storage at your hand. Reasonable price for SSD BUT the write and read speed is pretty low for a SSD. If you want SSD with around 1,000 mbps in write and read speed then you will need to purchase pricey sibling.

    It's amazing how they can fit a TB into such a small device. It's very convenient and works well. I recommend this to anyone thinking about buying it.

    I can’t believe how small this is. Amazing amount of storage - more than my laptop’s hard drive. Works smoothly. Fast processing speed .

    Starting doing some video editing with Final Cut Pro X and in the middle of my very first project I started getting notices that my internal drive was almost full. I have a MacBook Pro with a 250GB internal drive, it filled up in no time. A two-minute virtual choir video project was running about 45GB. I have a 2TB HDD but it is way to slow for Audio/Video work. The 1TB SanDisk SSD is super fast and has performed without a glitch. I will soon be getting the 2TB version. It is smaller than I expected but that is not a bad thing, it takes up less room on the desk.

    Just plug it in and filler up. Super fast and easy to use. Perfect for those that need the extra storage space but don't want to go internal. I used it to expand my iMac storage space. Super simple to plug in and start using. Docked one point because of expense. Would be great if it was about $125, cost almost double.

    purchased almost a year ago, still running and kicking. very reliable solid state back up drive. awesome price and great storage capability. pretty small, fits in the palm of your hand. they only thing is that you have to hook it up via a adaptor and a cable (both of which come with the unit in the package)

    Palm sized sleek design. Works great for storing photos and other documents. When traveling and doing photography I was using a conventional external hard drive but was always worried of a possible failure and loss of the photos I had taken. With a solid state drive you are not 100% safe but are in a much more reliable situation since solid state hard drives have no moving parts that could fail.

    I needed some that was quick for graphics and video and being USB-C this is totally help me out. I like the fact that the device seems pretty durable I’ve been taking it on any trips with me just yet but plan to in the future. I also like that I’ll be able to hook it up to my iPad as well as my MacBook Pro.
