    I managed to get this on sale and had some Best Buy certificates so based off the price I bought it for...excellent! The PS5 caps at about 825GB so I bought this to extend the storage space a bit. Downside, it only allows PS4 games to be added to external devices. But man on man, download speeds have been a dream and I see no performance issues. If you want something small, reliable and rugged, this works.

    Considering that this fits everything I have on it with plenty left over plus it's portability makes it very valuable, and the speed it moves things is outstanding.

    Bought this to exclusively use as external SSD for my PS5. After formatting it, have to say everything works as intended, fast speeds and really compact. Barely even notice it is there because of how small it is. If you are looking for a fast and compact SSD this does the job. Keep in mind only PS4 games can be stored in external SSD for the PS5. As of now it is on sale so hurry.

    Super fast, sooo compact, and rugged! This is a great ssd that combines all the right features in a small yet powerful package. Water and dust resistance, drop protection, the latest usb c data transfer protocol, and exceptional read and write speeds make this portable SSD the top of the line. Very happy with this purchase.

    I needed some quick expanded storage to work from a hotel during a week's long evacuation preventing my working from home during the already difficult pandemic. Nearby store had this drive so I bought one. Device is great for those who need speed and compact storage, doesn't need external power, and just sips the juice from my MSI laptop.

    Works great. I was using USB sticks for music. This works much better. Everything in one place. Fits a ton of 44 bit & Hi Rez files. Cable is short, I going to get a Audioquest one anyway. Great price on sale plus it went down $5.00 so BB honored it.

    A Must Have for Upcoming Consoles

    I use this for my Xbox One currently that has all my game data and downloads onto it. Transferring my games onto it didn't take very long. Loading games was noticeably faster from this drive compared to the drive in the Xbox itself. This will make a perfect drive to use for the upcoming Xbox Series consoles for storing and playing older Xbox games on. Same goes for the PS5. The only trade off is the price. It's far more expensive per byte than your standard portable HDDs, but the speed is what makes all the difference. One final thing to note that I didn't know when I bought this: This is a newer and faster model (E61) than the previous version (E60). The read and write are doubled. There is no other difference between them. Appearance is essentially the same.
