    Compact size makes it easy to travel with and the solid state storage relieves the worry of a HDD failure. I use it for photography storage and the photo retrieval is lightening fast.

    This is my third Scandisk SSD drive. The drive is fast enough to act like an additional internal hard drive, which is much cheaper than adding a new internal drive.
