Performed exactly as described!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed this product to quickly make a bootable external drive to rescue a MacBook whose internal hard drive boot sector had failed. The drive was easily formatted for Mac and functioned perfectly, providing the 'bridge' I needed to make the MacBook work while I salvage the data and replaced the internal hard drive. Now the emergency is over, I have a great compact external drive to carry movies and music when traveling. A 512GB flash drive would be more portable, but at the time this drive was $40 less price than any comparable size flash drive.

Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simple and effective, worth paying extra for the SSD as opposed to regular drive, just had a less expensive 2tb toshiba drive totally malfunction and lose all data on it, go ahead and get one of these to be safe.

Works fine and speeds up loading times for XB1
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's unfortunate this won't work with the new Xbox series S or X, but for Xbox 1 this will plug and play just fine. It will ask to format on initial plug in. I moved some more load time intensive games such as Forza Horizon 4 and GTA5 over to it and it's noticeably faster, enough to be worth it over a regular HDD.

Xbox one must have
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do you play Pubg? If so this is the ssd for you. Quicker load ups and everything is loaded in after you jump out of the plane. No more mushy buildings for me!!!

SSD over HDD
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this item over frustration of having multiple HDDs fail. I tend to be rough on drives by "over" using them. This drive "wakes" up faily quickly and is ready to go. I can access this drive faster than the few HDD drives that I still own. With this drive, I have decided to start replacing my HDDs with SDDs.

Fair SSD
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works good, had a strange occurance where an unknown source took up 122.4 gb of space and couldn't delete it so I had to wipe it clean and redownload everything. My real only complaint is that the cord it comes with is pretty short.

Useful for many things!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this little SSD as a backup for my desktop because I didn't want to have a full disk drive that made a ton of noise. It works great for my use, and I don't have many complaints about the included cord being too short. It's definitely easy to stick in my pocket and go. Worth it!

Highly Recommend! USB-C works best w/o adapter
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already have the 1TB SSD for my business. Best drive I ever bought and I've bought many over the years. You just have to make sure you have a good cable with it. USB-C to a USB-C port on your computer is the most reliable. If you have to use the USB-C to USB 2.0 or 3.0 converter you have to make sure the connection is snug for it not to disconnect. Still a great drive. It's worth the money. Very fast. A few days later the 1TB went on sale so I actually returned this 512GB drive and opted to get the 1TB again for the added space.

It's a portable hard drive...
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What can I say? It's a half gig USB drive. It's USB-C, which is handy given how many laptops are going USB-C only. I got it on sale, which was nice.
