    Picked this up to replace another SSD I had filled up. No cons at all that I can see. Quick and light drive at a great price (got it on sale).

    This is my 3rd one! I have one for music (940GB), 1 for Video (1.6TB) and one for Photos (1.1TB). These units although not the latest and greatest are still plenty fast. Consider the newer if you have USB 3.2 which I don't. I would recommend these to anyone that needs fast access to large storage capacity.

    I needed more fast storage for my photos and this SanDisk fit the bill. Not quite as fast as the Samsung T5, but good nonetheless.

    Got this for a Blackmagic pocket cinema camera 6k and it works like a charm. pretty darn expensive but the peace of mind it offers is worth it. My only gripe...velcro doesn't stick to it at all. So it just hangs from my Blackmagic right now until I figure out how to mount it without moving.

    Very good SSD. Very fast, not the fastest you can get but then again SSDs with 1,000+ speeds are ridiculously expensive. This isn’t the cheapest out there either but with it being weather and shock proof I feel like it’s worth it more than others with similar speeds and price.

    It is fast but not 5 minutes fast. It takes about an hour to backup my 1 tb mack reads/writes 500mb/s very compact. Comes with adapters usb c and a. But compared to 60$ hdd drive, its performance is not outstanding.

    I needed to transfer ~100GB of data from a 96TB, 40HDD video recorder system that is constantly reading/writing. I tried with a standard external HDD and it was estimating 20 days for completion. I ran over to Best Buy and picked this up, completed my data transfer in about 90 min.

    Great drive, amazing bang for the buck when on sale. The drive is small and fits nicely in a lot of areas. Super easy to use. If you are on the fence, just take the plung and get it. Works great for external storage on PCs, laptops, and gaming consoles!
