Outstanding extra storage for those fast transfers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was suppose to be my backup drive, but I found I had a project requiring the transfer of large photo files and had to get them to the photographer in a hurry. This has got to be the best portable SSD I've ever owned. Fast, adaptable from USB to USB-C for the camera I had to connect to. My next one is going to be 1TB or larger. I'm also dumping my CDROM drive and getting another one of these for my whole music collection! SSD is the new storage medium folks!

So Light and So Fast
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this portable SSD drive. I use it to place my working video project files on to save on wear to my laptops drive since I deal with large file sets at a time. Performance is just as fast as if I had the files saved directly to my laptop’s hard drive. Once I’m done with the project then I clear it out by backing up the project files to my less expensive standard external hard drives. Highly recommend. Great value for the money.

Very Small
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hard to believe that this much space can be fit in a package this small. It is so small you could put it in your wallet. The picture is virtually actual size. They are nice enough to put USB-C and USB connections in the box too, which solves some problems you might run into without needing something else. SSD performs well. You can run programs and maybe even an operating system right off of the drive. Very pleased.

Great for older iMac Upgrades
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Device to update and older iMac from rotating HDD to this external USB SSD Device. With it's very small size it was perfect to be able to attached via the short cable to the back of the 21.5" and then do the Refresh OS re-install on the Mac. System boots like a champ now and the original internal HDD can still be mounted to get data off of it if needed.

Fast external SSD
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is fast and responsive does what it should do. I can run an OS externally on my imac and Mac Mini with no issues. Works great and you wouldn't even know it's running like that unless I told you. Great for an upgrade if you don't want to split open these types of Macs to swap the slow stock hard drives they come with. It also runs Windows 10 externally with no issues if partitioned correctly.
