So far works great and nice size

Had two external hard drives go RAW on me so switching to SSD. So far works great and nice size. Smaller than a regular external hard drive. It has a good case. Adorama has the best price.

Great, Small SSD

This is less than 1/2 the size of a laptop hard drive, so it is easily transportable. So far it has worked as expected, but i have only had it a month!!

compact fasst ssd memory

This unit provides what it promises. Fast data transfer. I selected this to replace a hard drive as I have had a couple of drives fail on me. Since it doesn't have moving parts I have high expectations that this will be more reliable as a portable drive.

very very fast

fast, light, just about perfect. Wish it was nicer to look at, but then I'm not looking at it much. It's the future, but now. Going to get a few more.
