    Fast and it frees up space for the ps5 which is a saving grace literally. It’s also pretty fast too since it’s a ssd. So if you need to free up space for your ps5 then get this.

    Purchased to use as a Time Machine backup with a new M1 MacBook Air. When attached to MacBook, pop up dialogue asked to change format to Mac for time machine. Took just a few seconds. Works silently in the background. Only complaint is the supplied USB-c cord is very short, about 5 inches.

    A good drive

    Writing speed is about 750-760 MB/s, and reading speed is about 650-660 MB/s. It is not bad, compared to the advertised max. 1050 MB/s but quite far from 1050. This drive is small and durable. The provided USB C cable is too sturdy.

    Very fast at read and write speeds. This is the 2nd generation version. Instead of taking hours to copy my grandparents album, it only took a few minutes. A real time saver

    Read and write speeds are good with this portable hard drive. I use it to record sentry video in my Tesla model 3. Well worth the price and reliable.

    I now have four of these external drives in various storage capacities. In my experience (in tech since 1989) these are the standard for external SSDs

    Needed an external drive for some work the Geek Squad was doing for me. They didn't have what I was looking for but the Best Buy Associate helped us get what we needed.

    I put all my family pictures and videos on this one device. It is as secure and safe as you can get. For me 500GB is enough, and they make even larger capacity ones.

    Works in rough conditions and is small enough and light that it does not hinder movement in tight places to get pictures and transfer them.

    I’m big on my movies and music. If the file is worth protecting, just invest in some good quality memory. Skip that bullshii from amazon.
