Great SSD drive.
I purchased this to decrease load times on my XBOX ONE S.
With this drive my S gets into matches 5 to 10 secs faster then my XBOX ONE ELITE. For comparison, the ELITE gets into matches 10 to 15 secs faster then a Regular XBOX ONE. These comparisons are for Battlefield 1.
Great SSD drive, and well worth the investment.

Very fast transfer for quick moves like photos or videos. I use it for photos library and it's perfect for secondary backup. It's so quiet and it doesn't get hot. Tried the samsung SSD and it's 4x faster and it's cheaper.

I bought this specifically because it said it would work on both Mac and PC. It does so flawlessly without any formatting or drama. Just plug it in and off you go. Love the small size and the speed of the USB too.

I purchased a Channel Master OTA DVR and I researched many solid state hard drives. Best Buy had a great clearance sale on this SanDisk, and it was the perfect hard drive, since I didn't need anymore storage for this application, and it was compatible with my new DVR.

I purchased this ssd for extra storage on an Xbox one s and for the faster loading times on games. It did cut down loading times and has been working with no problems I'm not sure about other uses just that it's great for Xbox one s so go ahead and try it out

Most portable drives aren't exactly as durable as they claim to be, but this little guy is! I trust the Sandisc brand and once again they did not disappoint! Won't leave home without it! In fact, packing in my carry on for my trip to Hawaii in a couple days!

Was getting ready to have a HD failure with a traditional HD and decided to upgrade to something a little more stable for my images. Works great and is very small. A little more expensive than a traditional drive, but I feel more secure with the SSD.

I needed something as an external backup drive with our Windows and Mac PCs. It works perfect with both. No silly software to install, complete plug and play. I found a cheap $7 case for the drive that fits the cable as well, made it even better.

I bought this drive to use with my Xbox One. Load time for games has definitely decreased and made gaming that much more enjoyable. Doubling the space is another bonus.
For the price/speed combo this is a no-brainer purchase.

If your computer has a ssd, why slow down your external storage. I bought for additional storage for my surface book. Great deal and much cheaper than getting the computer with additional ssd storage. Very fast

I've tried other SSDs that performed well but required an enclosure. This bad boy is sturdy and outperforms many of the SSDs that cost more. Great purchase.
