Review: The perfect high speed portable drive! - This external is absolutely perfect for my needs. I bought the 2TB version and it has become my "everything" drive. I love having all of this space in such a portable form factor! It's actually smaller than I expected it to be and it slips perfectly in my pocket and disappears because it's so lightweight. Of course, don't rely on a drive like this alone as your only backup. I have a 12TB NAS with redundancy that I use to back up this SSD (among other things) and my NAS is automatically backed up via Backblaze, so I have three locations (Backblaze being remote), and I have redundancy on my NAS so if one of those drives fails then I can replace it without losing anything. Unfortunately I cannot harness the full speed of this drive because I'm using a 2014 MacBook Pro which only has USB-3, which is about half the speed of USB-C, furthermore I have this plugged into a powered USB hub. That being said, to my surprise I'm actually getting around 405 MB/s writes and 425 MB/s reads, which is significantly better than I thought I would get, this is a little over 4X faster than real world performance of a standard non-SSD external drive, so it's still plenty zippy for my needs! To test a sustained load I moved over my existing Kontakt library (music production plugins and such). A 160GB transfer took me 8 minutes and 23 seconds, which is perfectly fine, when moving using a standard non-SSD external it takes almost 35 minutes! A more reasonable 3GB transfer takes around 7-8 seconds, doing the same file transfer over to my WD EasyStore (standard HDD) takes about 38 seconds. For fun I tested transferring 3GB to my NAS and it took 1 minute 36 seconds. I expected it to be slow because I don't have the best internal network plus I'm using slow (but reliable) drives and it has to write the data multiple times. The NAS is just for bulk storage. The icing on top is the added durability. This is IP55 rated which means it can withstand dust and splashing, which means it's great for outdoor use for storing photos and such. Furthermore, it's rated to withstand a 2 meter (roughly 6.5 foot) drop. This is a great little drive! My MBP only has a 500GB drive and all of my plugins and samples were eating up hundreds of gigs and I was becoming really tired of constantly having to go through everything and try to maintain space. I wasn't even able to download all of my Kontakt content locally because I simply didn't have enough room, so I had to pick and choose what plugins I wanted to have locally, trying to store everything on the NAS was error-prone because Kontakt didn't like it for some reason but it was also way too slow. This drive is fast enough to where I can work on Logic Pro X projects directly on it without having to create scratch space locally, something I couldn't do with a normal non-SSD external (way too cumbersome). Now instead of having only 10-20GB local storage I’m back up to around 320GB - much better! I can breathe! Just remember - don't rely on any external as your only backup! Try to back up your most important data in three locations, one being a remote location, if possible.
Review: 4K STORAGE AND EDITING ON THE GO - I bought 2TB version last December 2018. First thing to like is portability — it's very small and light; it looked durable too. I went to Nazaré, Portugal to video big wave surfing (you can find the videos in my Youtube channel). My workflow: after I record my clips. I send the files to this SSD and back up the same files with another SSD (this time Samsung EVO 860) via Macbook 13 inch 2018. No hiccups at all. You don't need a case for this unless you're OCD. When I get home. I unload the files but I found out that I can actually edit my 4k videos straight from this using Final Cut Pro. I can freely play in my timeline without dropped frames. (Note: I'm also using eGPU while editing). So far my Macbook always recognize this SSD. I formatted it to APFS and when I'm not traveling, this drive is tethered to the laptop. Will I buy this again? Probably, no. Even though the price is dropping, at almost 20 cents/GB, this is is still very expensive. I can buy Samsung QVO at 15 cents/GB today and get some saving. Also, as of this writing, it only offers up to 2TB while QVO or EVO offers 4TB. If you're a casual video editor and loves light traveling, 1TB of this drive is very valuable. Even if you don't edit video, this SSD is also good for backing up your photos/files from your main drive, plus another cloud back up. The form factor is just unmatched. But if you want SSD but don't mind a little bulky and added enclosure, better to buy the Samsung 860 SSD.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compact and Fast!
*by L***R on January 1, 2020*

These SSD cards are much larger than conventional USB flash drives, but their technology is much more complex, hence the need for a larger form factor, which also helps dissipate heat, so they do not become more than warm in operation. Still, they are highly portable -- small and slim -- and incredibly fast, matching the speed of internal Solid-State drives, and their price is excellent. It is only slightly higher than the best flash drives, but these cards considerably out-perform those drives. These SSD cards are unmatched for large file transfers. I have observed write rates of 400 MB/sec or more, and read rates close to 500 MB/sec. They make outstanding external "hard drives" from which to run alternative operating systems. They are noticeably faster than any of the flash drives I have. Their unique shape, with the large lanyard loop that can accommodate a carabiner or even larger holder, makes them very transportable. The short and sturdy USB-C cables are stiff, but otherwise perfect, and the included USB-C to USB-A adaptor provides universal connection to any USB port, which is perfect for my equipment. Just make sure that the arrows on the USB-C plugs and on the USB C-to-A adaptor line up, or there will be no connection, because the devices are "keyed" to ensure proper alignment. Any USB port that is rated USB 3.0 or higher provides the highest transfer rates currently available. The A, B, and C designations merely identify the physical form of the connection. Type C is no faster or better than A and B, but it is a "universal" port, in addition to being a USB port. Barring hardware difficulties or failures, you should find this drive a perfect choice for most of your large-file transfer and storage requirements.
