Greater than one weekThis is used in conjunction with both an iPad Pro and a MacBook Pro. Large 200+ bitrate video files are a breeze to transfer and it is easily possible to edit leaving the files on the Nano. The main advantage is tiny size for ultimate portability.

Greater than one weekThis drive was purchased to run on both macOS 11.x and Windows 10, running through a variety of synthetic benchmarks and real-world tests like Adobe Premiere footage / previews drive, and others. While the design is solid and I dont have doubts about its rugged aspects, the performance of this drive is dissappointing. For starters it doesnt get anywhere close to 10Gbps as a top read/write speeds. When brand new it consistently performed around 700 MB/s write (instead of ~ 1200) and 900 MB/s read. These are not bad by any means and certainly better than older USB drives, but not to the level expected based on whats advertised. Worse was after a few weeks use the drive started exhibiting very choppy write speeds where even with simple benchmarks the speeds randomly spike between really low numbers like 200 MB/s and somewhat higher around 500 MB/s. Drive has been tested with diagnostic utilities and shows as OK, and reformatted in different ways, but the issue persists. My opinion is that this drive will not reach the speeds most people will expect and will not hold up under heavy use very well. For occasional backups or office use its probably fine.
