    Let's start off by saying I needed something easy/foolproof (not some crazy format/interface i'd have to get used to or deal with file type conversions), reliable (doesn't make my files go poof or disappear or decide to quit working randomly), secure (could put a password on certain files or the whole hard drive), light weight, portable, and with a reasonably large amount of storage. SSD is the way to go when choosing between SSD and other standard hard drives. It is durable to a point and won't break with frequent use as long as you make sure you don't plug it in while your computer is charging, keep it cool (some heat is generated when using and that is normal), and don't drop it into a blender (or leave it in an autoclave) so treat it like you would most tech devices. I am a loyal Mac user and my college uses PC predominately, so I needed an external hard drive that could safely save and store files and have them in a format that would transfer well between Mac and PC and some various educational and lab software and not have to constantly deal with file type conversions. I also needed this to handle a vast amount of school files, internship files, and personal files and wasn't a pain to haul around or worry about it getting hacked. It is small about the size of a deck of cards but slightly thinner and fits in the palm of my hand, clips onto my keyring, and came with both a usb and usb-c connector (idk if it works with lightning connectors or iPhone/IOS storage haven't tried that yet) but it has managed everything from Microsoft Word Products to Apple Pages products to videos, audio recordings, pictures, CAD files, Texas Instrument Calculator Files, Apps and Programs I rarely use, etc and has been amazing. For the average college student and person I would say its a perfect backup hard drive but for me and my excessively large files it makes a wonderful portable flash drive! I hate paying for cloud storage and I like my digital data in a more tangible form.. so far it has saved me money. In my 90 or so days of use it has been phenomenal!

    Picked this up to backup my computer. Works great. Fast and quite. Since then I've also begun to use it for storage of music and TV from my HTPC and again, works great.

    Nice reliable SSD that'll fit in your pocket, great for laptops or tablets without much space, especially if you're a creative type who wants to work with a set of files across multiple systems. This is actually my second one! One for steam games, one for storing my music and production samples. Only issues I've had so far is that if you have a drive password enabled, it may re-lock seemingly at random and need to be unlocked again, which can cause issues with large downloads. As such, I tend to keep it unlocked at home. Another small issue is the included cable is quite short, so it's not great for desktop towers unless you make some sort of caddy for it. Overall, I'm very pleased with it, and will probably end up buying again.

    It is awesome having a thumb drive with this capacity. I’ve had too many individual 256 GB thumb drives in the past. Currently enrolled in college going through a pharmaceuticals program so I have a lot of chemistry information on my thumb drive. I like to collect gems and design and scale trains. I don’t think I’ll ever have to buy another thumb drive. On a sidenote, the Individual, who provided me assistance at Best Buy in Webster Texas was very kind and informed me that it will be sufficient for me to use as well playing Minecraft. My computer doesn’t have much memory.

    I've come to trust SanDisk as a brand. I've not had any issues with their products. Never had to use customer service for anything. This unit is simple plug in and load it with files. It's great storage, quick and easy. Everything's getting more pricy, but this is/was a good value.

    I love it - perfect size - it's small, but not easy to lose like a USB stick - and great capacity for home use. I hook it up to my laptop and then edit and transfer photos from my Amazon/Google/Dropbox accounts as I watch TV and free up cloud storage. I bought on sale and so feel as though I got good/fair price.
