Perfect for Security Storage
Works great as described. Purchased it for the security encryption with my sensitive data. Excellent price for 2TB! Works with Windows or Mac! Small in size for easy travel.

Must be formatted for a Mac, but easy to do...
This isn't a SDD nor is it formatted for a Mac, but I didn't really notice much of a difference in speed when I used a SSD type external drive on my M1 MacBook Air. It was fairly simple to format for a Mac (under disk utilities app on any MacBook), and I got 2TB of storage for HALF of what 1 TB cost in a SanDisk SSD. So I'd say this is a lot of bang for the buck, especially if you get it on sale (I did). And a side bonus: It matches the silver color of my MacBook Air M1, and fits in my case that I already have. You can get similar cases from Buy for about $10. 2 TB is a must-have for photographers!!
