    This SSD is marvelous and gets the job done! And amazingly, it took almost 1 or 2 minutes to back up a 15 GB folder full of files. Wow! Really happy with it.

    This is the best external ssd I have owned. It is lightning fast and very portable. It is extremely small, which could be bad if you tend to misplace things.

    Impressed by the small size and speed of this drive. I appreciate the extra space. Only thing is that I would like it to be encryptable via my Mac but that doesn’t appear to be an option

    This was my first SSD drive and I love it compared to a spinning drive. Much faster and no concern when using it in environments that are less stable like an airplane. Great purchase.

    Good for RAW photo storage

    I use this SSD to keep RAW files from a Nikon DSLR. I can also store Lightroom catalogs on it, and edit from the SSD. The speed of the USB-C connector to a MacBook Pro is good. The SSD can heat up a bit when under heavy use, but I haven't had any failures. Just be sure not to bump the connector around while it's in use, or it might disconnect.
