So far it's a good purchase that saved money.
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.So far I had put 3 different games on this drive which is 218 gb in total( Battlefield 5, Apex legends, and Rainbow six extraction. The drive is quick, small, and computer games can be played off of it. While installing big titles with prolonged use this 1tb ssd gets hot. I've only had it for two days and everything seems ok. I got both type-c to type-c cords and the type-c to USB. Two of my concerns were 1.) It's a refurbished memory device-2.) That the type-c would easily be pulled out from the port on the t5 SSD but it doesn't and about the refirb I will see if this lasts and if so for how long. When I first plugged this device into my laptop it wasn't showing up as a usable memory device. I thought the ssd came faulty but a quick YouTube video later helped me enable my laptop to detect and use the t5 SSD as a storage device. So far things are good.

The best, honestly.
||Posted .Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This is SSD is compact, light, and perfect for what I needed. I was so surprised, honestly. It's easy to slip right into my laptop bag and go. And it's lightning fast.

Great SSD, Poor Cable Condition
||Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.I bought this SSD as a Geek Squad refurbished product. The USB Type C to C cable gave me problems right away when plugging it into my 2017 MacBook Pro. It would give me different results no matter what end of the cable I was plugging in. The blue light indicator on the SSD would be blinking when it was working properly but it would usually either turn solid blue and not be detected by the computer or it would not turn on at all. The cable would also come out slightly if I was moving my MacBook for a more comfortable position and this would mark an error for not ejecting properly (this can cause file problems). The other cable that came with this was the USB Type C to A which worked fine but I needed to use my adapter (a.k.a dongle) which isn’t very convenient. I wish I made this review sooner or made a request for a new cable but my loss can be your gain. Check everything and don’t settle for something that works half the time.

Refurbished, good as new
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Only peeve—though refurbished, they should be ready for use out of the box. It wasn’t recognized in file explorer but was in the taskbar. Had to perform disk management to assign a drive and reformat it before use. Good to go, no further issues.

Q: QuestionI purchased the drive and plugged it in to my WIN10 computer. It will not show in the finder. What could be the issue?
Asked by mkeBob.
- A:Answer It may have been previously used with a Mac. You will need to format the drive in NTFS for Windows to see it. It would still show up in the Control Panel under Devices and Printers, so start there.
