> 24 hourI liked the size and storage. It must have a power supply.

> 24 hourVery fast, but the include cable is just too short.

> 24 hourI never do reviews, but I will for the FD Extreme. This thing is as well-built and almost feels like solid metal (a little heavier than average, and a little thicker). Cool to the touch...overall best of dozens of external SSDs in speed and quality.

> 24 hourI am not one to give bad reviews normally... But I bought two drives from Fantom. A 2Tb and a 4TB. I have had NO problem with the 2TB drive but am having issues with the 4TB drive. It keeps disconnecting from my Mac and sometimes even my restarts my computer. I contacted Fantom and they said it was approved for replacement. There was some delay due to them moving buildings, so it took longer than anticipated. That wasnt a big issue. The bigger issue is that they said they couldnt duplicate the issue. We went back and forth a few times, through email, and they said that it was approved for replacement anyway. When I got it back, it was formatted APFS Case Sensitive, which is fine but this was not the way it was formatted from the factory. I did this when I bought the drive. I also called the drive FD. This drive was also called FD. (I cannot recall what it was called brand new for either of my two drives). Im convinced that this was not replaced and they sent me the same one back mainly because Im seeing the same issues I had with the one I sent back for replacement within 24 hours of using the drive. I have 4 other drives connected to this computer and dont have any issues. Even when I sent the 4TB Fantom back for replacement, I connected my 2TB Fantom and it had been working flawless. Once the 4TB came back, I disconnected the 2TB and put the 4TB in its place. I have, once again, responded back to the email to see if they will really replace this time. I will update this review accordingly once I get the response back.

> 24 hourIt is fast access and fast write. My last SSD had a severe pause when I accessed it. This one doesnt. I use it for ArcGIS drone orthophotos.

> 24 hourI’m a sports photographer and having a fast external hard drive is essential. I’ve been using this one for about 2 months and cannot express to you adequately how much faster it is than the other SSD’s I’ve tried. No glitches or hangups. I’ve super happy with this drive and just ordered a 2nd.
