Model: CT2000X10PROSSD9SKU: 6551159Top comment"The first thing I did was to encrypt it with Windows BitLocker, which was fast and easy on a mostly blank device. I tested it on a OSB 2.0 port on my desktop computer and it performed well, though not up to it’s advertised speeds, of course, as that port can’t handle those higher speeds. ...I also don’t have to mess with load times from media to the cloud ect. I can download the media onto the Crucial SSD and then work on projects from my work computer to my home computer to a laptop with ease! "
