Solid, fast, 2TB
I am using this external drive for Logic Pro project files for music production and to store large sample libraries for virtual instruments and it works well for those purposes. I copied many GB of files from another SSD in one minute or less.

Excellent
Excellent Disk I connected it to a Mac mini M2 and it gave me a speed of 2700 mb/s writing.. I had read a review that said that it only reaches 1000 mb/s but I discovered that changing the cable for a Thunderbolt 4 reaches 3000 mb/s and if it does not reach that speed you just have to exchange the ends of the cable and ready normally the cables bring a mark make sure it is Marce look up.
