This is the best, most rugged hard drive I’ve ever purchased. Extraordinarily reliable, this ssd drive sits behind my laptop when in my office and in my backpack when I travel. Being bus-driven, it’s extremely convenient, and I’ve not had one issue with it. Ever. Quiet, fast and always there, the connection is snug and snaps fully into the slot without any fuss. (No worries about inadvertent disconnecting.) The build is solid, and the drive is very fast — check the specs. You can’t go wrong with this purchase, and I would absolutely purchase it again.

I did my research for months until I finally decided to get this drive. There aren’t many options for a 4Tb Thunderbolt 3 drive on the market. I switched over my 2Tb OWC Envoy Pro EX, which by the way worked like a champ for many years, but couldn’t accommodate my sample instruments ever growing library. I plugged in my iMac Pro (Catalina OS) and reformatted from factory Ex-FAT to Apple’s APFS. On my initial tests it was fast copying tens of gigs in a minute (tested with Black Magic speed test 2200+ MBs write/ 2600+ MBs read) . So I started the migration of my 1.7Tb sample library to the new drive and the transfer gets much slower after a certain data threshold and finally the drive keeps disconnecting. I have the impression it gets hot and ejects under heavy writing loads, until I reboot the computer. I contacted Sabrent customer service and they told me they were aware users under Big Sur OS (which is not my case) had ejecting problems if the drive wasn’t formatted Ex-FAT. So I gave I try and formatted back to factory originals Ex-FAT but it kept ejecting. I’m currently testing writing in batches, copying my old sample libraries to the drive to avoid ejecting. Since in my workflow, I’m mostly reading from the drive, if it can read consistently with no ejecting I can at least keep the drive, but it’s frustrating I have to be careful every time I want to write a big amount of data (30+ Gb is enough for ejecting). I’m currently testing for one week or so (to not miss the return time window) if the drive can at least read under my normal workload with no ejection, so I decide to return or not the drive.

Just updating my previous 2 star review, BH swapped the previous drive with a another one, same model and it seems to work fine, no more random ejection so far using for a week. It seems it was a defective item. It’s been reading around 2300MBs and writing 1800MBs in mi iMac pro and Macbook pro. I’m happy with the product and how BH handled sending me a now working unit.

very high build quality and performance, billet aluminum should be the standard for other makers of Bus powered drives.The first drive that the Type C connector fits tightly and fully inserts into the Port.

When first received and installed, we ran a Blackmagic Disk Speed test on it with a 4TB load and on the first two passes it exceed the stated read/write ratings — by a lot. Expensive, but if you need a good, small SSD external drive, this is it. I originally ordered the other model for $100 less. When run through the Blackmagic Speed read/write test, that model barely made a quarter of the stated ratings. This one is worth the extra money.
