    I purchased two of these on sale. The dog ate one of them and he thought it was quite good. The other one has worked well. The form factor makes it highly portable and I have had no issues, besides the dog, with this drive.

    This little SSD has saved my life so many times so be able to back up important files that I don’t want to loose. Definitely recommend for anyone that has the new MacBook M1 as this works straight out of the box and no need to format anything.

    great drive.........a lot better than the HDD. This drive is Solid State: parts are solid state- nothing inside is moving. HDD is old technology that does not store memory like SSD. SSD compresses files implying that it transfers its files much faster.

    The only issue I have with this item is that sometimes when I try to eject it, it states that it is still in use even though there are no documents or programs open. I am not sure if this is the fault of the item or the computer but that is my only frustration. Other than that it is a great item so far and provides exactly what I need.

    I got it on sale and paid half with rewards. A little disappointed that there wasn’t any backup software with it. I’ll have to use Windows 10 os to do it. The drive is fast and can use usb 2.0, 3.0 or 3.1. I have large usb storage sticks and other ssd and Hdd. I just wanted this style drive also (for my laptop). You can never have enough backup.

    If space is what you need, then this is the way to go. I was able to safely store photos and videos off my mobile phone and PC. I great purchase and I still have space left for my storage even after I stored all of my wife photos.

    Great product to use for the new M1 MacBooks. The read and write speeds are fast and amazing. 500gb it’s good enough to store all of my photos and videos. The material feels like it will last a few years before I would need to replace it

    Probably a great drive but I had a bad experience personally. I found a same brand external drive was a bit simpler than this sanddisc for duplicating an internal drive. A little pricey compared to other options. I guess your paying for the durability of a highly portable design that is rubber and tough.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Does what it says. It accidentally took a fall from 8ft and still operates correctly. If you are prone to dropping important things check this one out.

    I have two external drives, but they're not solid state. This one was very amazing due to the extreme speed at which it transferred data. It's very fast to back up large files due to the speed of transfer.
