I use this to backup my camera photos and videos when I travel. The drive is light weight and compact so it travels well. The transfer speeds are very fast so I don’t waste time.

Fast Drive but Cable Included is Too Short

Drive is amazingly small and fast. Everything works well with the exception of the very short cable that is included...
The short cable has a tendency to bend when connected and cause the drive to disconnect from your computer sometimes. I was able to fix it by using a longer cable I already have, which has no issues.

I bought this drive to store and transfer larger video files between machines. The USB 3.1 compatibility makes saving and backing up large files a snap. The size is perfect, not too big, not too small. The rubberized exterior gives it a rugged feeling, like if you drop it, it would survive. I like the design, however, I don't ever see myself using the carabiner loop (I don't do much mountaineering/computing). Also, the USB cable that comes in the box is way too short for my liking (a piddly 8 inches). I do like that the cable is USB C on both ends and includes a C to A adapter. Just makes it a little more versatile.

Transfer Photos From Iphone to Solid State Drive

I bought this to copy photos and videos from an ipad to this ssd. I connected the ssd to my laptop that had Windows 10 on it. Then I connected my iPhone to the laptop. I did not download nor install any software for the ssd. I selected to import photos. Windows asked me whether I wanted to download photos from the ssd or from the iPhone. I selected iPhone and the selected that I wanted the photos downloaded to the ssd. I then selected the photos and videos that I wanted to download. The transfer was very fast. I transferred a combination of 2,500 photos and videos and the ssd did not get hot. This is an excellent product.

It's a nice portable drive for those quick backups on the go or to access files wherever you are. It's small and rugged enough to handle the little abuse it may endure during transport. You don't buy this drive for its capacity, you get it for it's speed and portability which is what it does very well. They are definitely faster drives available but they also cost a bit more. This is a good budget friendly devices that allows connection for older and newer devices. It's a great addition to any setup or workflow you may have.

Sufficiantly fast to run linux on

Running linux off a USB key is painful because USB keys are about reading and writing big blocks of data like photo or songs. They start off fast and get slow quickly so don't believe the published numbers.
This little USB drive is also optimized for photos and songs however it's pereformance is fast on the start and remains fast so it works well either as a bootable device or as a place to put virtual machines.
Best of all it is small and comes with a short USB C to USB C cable and a USB C to USB 3 adapter. Just perfect for my little 2-in-1 or my MBP.

I use this for my Xbox One S and it is an amazing investment for bettering load times on certain games. I was not disappointed by the quality of the product. The build feels very soundly sturdy and rugged. It is actually smaller than an iPhone 4 not to mention very light. The clip allows me to secure it to many different items for security. It also has a USB a to type c included in box to convert the type c to type c connection.

I am very pleased with this device. I just received it today, so I may update this in a few months. It works as expected. Although, I did read a review indicating that you should reformat before using. I had already downloaded the data off of a HDD that may not be long for this world, but if I order another one, which I may, I'll reformat it as noted in the review on Amazon. It transferred the data quickly for what I needed.

This little drive is so cool. It really is smaller than it looks in online photos. The form factor is amazing as it’s about 60% of the size and maybe 25% of the weight of the traditional “spinning” portable drives that are still out there. Moving large data files onto and off this drive is crazy fast because it’s SSD, no slower than saving to my Mac’s build in drive as far as I can tell. I will probably but a few more of these.
