    I wanted a solid state drive to run from my tablet when on the battery. As long as you plug the drive in after opening the tablet it runs fine. Tablet will not open with drive already plugged in Works for what I need it to do. Very stiff USB connection cord and drive connection feels weak . I am very carefule connecting and disconnecting it

    Excellent build and data transfers are very fast. It makes creating a sytem image effortless and requires only a fraction of the time a mechanical drive takes.

    I purchase this for my MacBook Pro 256 GB. I needed more space to use for work and thought this would be perfect. WD stated that it's write speed is up to 512. I go nowhere close to that on black magic. It's only hit about 350 write speed. I returned it and purchased Samsung T3 instead and are really happy with that.

    Using this as an external boot drive. Miles better than the stick HD in an iMac. What a 5k iMac should have installed by default!

    Because this is digital device, I don't worry so much about mechanical failure of the device. It seems to get slower opening up each time on my Mac Air computer for some reason, however
