    Got this to run video games off of. With USB3.0 it does so smoothly. Just plug and play. Definitely would recommend it to anyone else looking to do the same. Unless you need something with a fast load time, you don't really need an SSD external.

    this is good product and the price was okay - for some reason, it won't copy items in a large group (dragging a whole folder of photos, for example) -- you have to drag only a few at a time. but that also happened on other ext. drives we bought too.
