Works great.

I agree with some other reviewers that the outside shell of the SSD is a bit of a magnet for dust, however, I like the smooth feel of the material which is slip resistant. Liked the fact that it was drop tested to about 6 feet. Bought this unit because it is an SSD and fair priced. My SEAGATE 1 T external drive which is mechainal crashed, so now I have to spend lots of $$$$ to recover the data. Will never buy a SEAGATE or mechanical system again. Won’t be penny wish and dollar foolish again!

Fast way to store my photos and videos on the way.

Compact, priced right and high-performance, this SSD works perfectly for Time Machine and MacOS applications. It is very compact and light, splash resistant and of course immune to the usual issues of spinning media.

Its size is ideal for transport anywhere and the speed is impressive
Kaela Reinger (verified owner) –
Plug and play. Exactly what I expected. No speed bumps and immediately put in use with workflow of photography processing with macBook pro and Adobe LightRoom.
Emilie O’Reilly (verified owner) –
I have several thousand photos on my computer and use the original memory cards as back-up but for peace of mind wanted something to centralize storage. The 1TB capacity provides plenty of room, and with the 3.1 type C USB the transfer speed is impressive.

VERY NICE AND QUICK
Francis Rice (verified owner) –
This is an amazing small SSD. It’s very fast, and smaller than I expected. It’s good for traveling and quick backup for your work

Perfect size for your files
Kelsi Becker (verified owner) –
Love the style and the size of this SSD. Easy to transport- I can literally slide it into any pocket and go. My only negative: the USB-C cable is incredible short. The shortness has its advantages, but when my laptop sits on a stand, the SSD literally hangs from the USB-C port. In other words, I can’t use it with my laptop stand without my data-loss senses and anxiety spiking to 11. Minus the environmental factor stated above; great product!

This SSD is tiny! Much smaller and lighter than I expected. Blackmagic Disk speed test was reading around 500MB/s read/write.

works fast
Fay Hirthe (verified owner) –
This thing is fast. However, it seems to get about 150 MBs lower R/W speeds than advertised.
