    Expandable SSD storage a must?

    Perfect accessory for an XBOX or PlayStation. I have used this to expand the memory of my PS4 Pro and the loading times off this are as good as the internal SSD I also upgraded my system with. I get about 50% better loading times with SSD over a standard "spinning" drive externally. Much recommended if you can afford the price.

    Simply the best way to have automated backups you can rely on, and persistent storage that will really last. The form factor is attractive and handy to carry. It comes with everything you need. The USB cable is short, so mine kind of hang in mid air from my USB hub, but since they are light, that works fine.

    The Fusion drive in my iMac went out, turned out it was the HHD portion of it. After looking at different options, have Apple replace it was going to cost over $1,000. If I replaced it myself would cost about $200 but would require opening the iMac (not an easy task and could break screen). I plugged this one in and easily set it up to take the place of my HHD portion of the Fusion drive. Once done iMac was back to normal and running slightly faster than before. Best thing is when I retire the iMac, I can keep the drive. Price a little high so I took off one star.

    Bought is 2TB in hopes to decrease my storage on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7" nor my 8.0" and can't seem to get the tablet to recognize the ScanDisk. I've formatted the ScanDisk and it works with my Samsung Note 10 plus, but really needed to work with my tablet as its full and want to make more room for my vacation pictures as I travel. I have reached out to ScanDisk customer help line. Sent email about my situation and have not heard back from them in over a week. So far I've been disappointed that it hasn't performed as i hope for

    Wanted to be able to take my HD in my computer bag. This is awesome! Just wish it was a Thunderbolt 3 SSD versus a USB Type-C (just learned those are NOT the same thing even though the ports look the same).
