    "Best SSD external hard drive...Best purchase I've made on SSD EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE....speed tests: i use crystaldiskmark for speed tests. using my samsung galaxy 360 laptop using thunderbolt 4.0, i got 1070 mb/s read and 1016 mb/s write. using usb c & usb 3.2 connections i got 463 mb/s read and 455 mb/s write speeds. 3-year limited warranty activity light is on the same side as cable connection, so just a tad hard to see unless you flip drive the t7 is a tad pricey but considering size, weight, speed advantage and nearly 0 chance of it being damaged – it is a great portable option, and i would highly recommend it."
