    So I ended up getting this to replace another platter hard drive I had. I’m pleasantly surprised at how fast it is compared to the old one.

    I carry this around everywhere mostly to offload camera photos from my large DSLR Camera. Super fast and easy to move files over and pocket sized! Really reliable and durable. Love have high speed storage that's easily transportable and not bulky like an external drive.

    I have been looking for a fast, easy to carry, storage device and when I got this I was pleasantly surprised. It has the capacity and rugedness that I need to keep my photos safe and still have room in my bag for other things.

    This little device is so convenient with its compact size, easy to use user interface, and the fast read/write speed. The only drawback is that sometimes the application which runs the SSD crashes.

    I bought this to replace a broken WD external hard drive. I have to access the files on this drive frequently, and it handles the demands with lightning speed. Easily portable and well-protected.

    This is mostly used in a recording studio and it's terrific. It's so tiny yet holds a great deal of music files. I love it.

    Since I'm digitizing multiple family photo albums - I needed a way to store them, be able to make copies based on subject,which branch of the family, location, etc. Also to take to another person who is doing the same thing.

    I have used this hard drive daily for several months now and it works flawlessly. I have it as additional storage to an XBOX 1. The XBOX provided on-screen instructions for formatting and it was ready in a few minutes. It loads saved games as quickly as the internal storage on the XBOX.

    Reliable SSD Drive

    This is the most reliable hard drive that I own. It’s quick. I use hard drives for HD video. I save high quality video files on my hard drives and I reference these video’s from the drives when I’m using video editing software. My conventional hard drives they have movable pieces are often slow, and when it comes to scrubbing video and accessing large files this SSD drive is the best, fastest and quickest drive that I have.
