    Works well. Surprisingly the SanDisk does not recognize this model, so registration must be done manually.

    I used this SSD for my ps5. The game load very fast compare to storing in the HHD. Got it at an expensive price even after discount. You can get double the storage for the price that i paid nowadays. But i have to say beware of the software that come with it. I set a password and wrote it down. The software didnt recognize it and I have to wipe the drive clean. Luckily I didnt put anything important in there.

    Great product. Only downside is they changed the connector cable so if you want to use usb A 3.0 they have a little dongle to use on the end of the usb-c cable. You can always switch the cable for a different one if needed.

    Awesome speed and reliability. One down side of all these backup drives is they have built in password unlocks that sometimes doesnt get recognized as bootable so you have to full format which takes time.
