    Very light and easy to use. I needed extended storage for my PS5 and this works great. It has fast transfer speeds and it is convenient that is comes with a USB A to USB C adapter.

    I was in need for extra on the go storage for my MacBook Pro and not wanting to clutter up my internal storage space I choose to go this route due to the numerous reviews all though I have not had the drive for long I can say that the speed and storage size will be a blessing in the future when i am on the go.

    I've wanted this thing for a long time, but the $300 price put me off. I finally was FORCED to buy it due a work need, and my goodness it's incredible. Having a USB C SSD of this size, weight, toughness, and speed is life-changing for someone obsessed with making bootable backups and carrying them. The backup speeds are like 50x faster than USB 3 HDDs, and I can actually boot from this drive and use my computer. Still can't stomach the price, but it isn't really going down much... just get it early and enjoy it longer, instead of waiting like I did and still paying. Also, the included cable is thoughtfully designed for USB 3 and USB C.

    I love this unit. It is small, rugid, fast and makes no noise. It is perfect as a dedicated disk for Time Machine Backup and very portable to take on the road with laptop.

    I like that this is a compact storage device with 2T of memory. It was hard to find a type-C connection so transferring is very easy with this device. It's supposed to be made for rugged use, which is even better. I can't really tell the difference. I just know that it is extremely thin and light and uses USB-C. The price is a little high at $300 but it's the quality that you're paying for.

    I wanted to switch to this solid state drive because I dj karaoke a lot more frequently lately than I ever have. Loading those files and searching for them used to take a really long time. Now I find with this SS drive, things are so much faster. It's exactly what I needed.

    Love this SSD by SanDisk. I use it to store video footage from my MacBook Pro. It writes very fast to the drive and so far has been very reliable. Been considering buying a 2nd one as this one is almost full after owning it for approximately 6 months. Very simple to use and set up. Wanted to go with SSD to avoid issues with a malfunction on the disk style hard drive as they are known to have. Also nice and compact, fits in the palm of my hand. Definitely recommend this drive.

    It's Good, just don't leave it plugged in

    For the most part, the SSD has done its job. While it functions well on its own, the main draw back is its connection when booting up the computer. After unplugging everything from my USB hub, I discovered that the SSD has some sort of interference with starting up the system causing me to have to unplug and replug it every use. It can be a bit frustrating and definitely not a problem I expected. My Wacom tablet and Blue snowball fire up with the computer just fine but for some reason, the SSD causes an interference. Outside of that hiccup, the drive functions well on its own (when there is no interference with the computer). It function fast and despite a couple of computer crashes thus far, the drive itself hasn't had an issue. The SSD is good for transferring data between computers, just be careful of keeping it plugged in when shutting down or booting up the PC.

    This SSD drive feels really durable and it's super light. I immediately consolidated several HDDs to this and the transfer rate was super fast. I can now quickly load photo libraries. I won't ever go back to HDDs.

    I bought this out of frustration with the typical "spinning" portable hard drives that have been necessary to use in my business workflow. The cost of these flash-memory-based drives have come down to a point where it was affordable to give this a try. In short, so far, I love it. I can take it anywhere, even in my pocket, and have my material available. if I drop it, I don't have to panic as to whether or not I have just crashed the drive. I will purchase this product again, as it is a game-changer for me. Thanks for making something that does what it says it will do, and then some.

    Extremely satisfied for what it can hold, the size build quality! Sure it’s a little pricey, but it you want speed and durability with the ability to use in practically any environment, look no further.

    This is serving as the boot drive to my 2017 iMac, and it does a great job. It’s definitely faster than my internal fusion drive, and it’s just as fast as the Samsung it replaces. Recommended.

    Incredibly fast speeds, super durable and plenty of storage to back up your footage when you're out in the field. The price on these fluctuates fairly often so keep a lookout for those price drops!
