    It’s interesting what can happen when you don’t visit a particular technology for a few years. External Solid State Drives have come a long way in a short period of time. I am so impressed by this drive it made me think about the first external hard drive I ever bought some 30 plus years ago. If my math is right (it usually is) this drive is apprx 1/150th the size, has 100,000 times the storage capacity and about 1/3 the price lol. But enough with the trip down memory lane. I love this drive. It’s small, fast, feels well built, quiet and priced right. It’s amazing. I’m using it to build a library of my favorite movies. I may get a 2nd one just to use as a backup to all my files. I usually like to say a little more when I leave a review but what more is there to say? This drive is absolutely fantastic. I would give it 6 stars if I could and I would absolutely recommend it to a friend.

    Excellent choice backup

    So far it is everything I hoped for. I have a Microsoft Surface Go that I bought for traveling (pre-covid.). I use it to backup my camera photos. I have two Seagte HD. Problem was the Surface Go could not power the drives. So I need the Surface Dock which add 3-pounds of weight. You cannot guess how much I hated this. So I purchased two of these SSD. They BOTH TOGETHER work with the Surface Go. NO power problems. They are fast, light-weight and rugged. I’m not a happy camper but getting better. YES the drives get warm when using. YES the cable is very short - but I bought, at Five Below store, a 6-foot USB-3 cable that works with the SSD drives.

    Wow, this thing is fast.

    The very first thought I had when opening the package was "Wow, this thing is small." I'm used to dealing with traditional 2.5" hard drives, and I wasn't quite prepared for how small this tiny little external drive would be. The drive comes with an adapter for using it with a traditional USB type-A port. That being said, my laptop has a USB type-C port with Thunderbolt; and I was able to plug it in without the adapter. I was absolutely floored by the speed at which it transferred files. I moved roughly 5GB of files INSTANTLY. I mean that quite literally. There was no delay, no loading bar, no indication of any type of file movement whatsoever. I initially thought that something had gone wrong with the transfer since everything was so silent. It wasn't until I started actually opening some of the transferred files that I realized that it had simply worked insanely fast. I love the soft touch feel to the drive. This is going to sound silly, but it's extremely "comfortable" to hold in one's hand. The lightly rubberized surface makes it very "grippable" for lack of a better term. I would strongly recommend this drive for anyone with a USB type-C port looking for fast, compact storage.
