> 24 hourMy daughter bought this for me and I use it to back up my files. I used this to back up 458GB of data, when first plug in, it says will take 3 hours to back up, then became 6 hours, then became 1 day. Finally took 8.5 hours to finish the back up. I then used Seagate 2TB HDD drive, Same computer, same data, same day, same usb port, it took 4 hours to back up the exactly same data. So far the device works fine. It is a SSD, but slower than HDD. I am not sure why. It looks fine, lighter than my HDD, but slightly bigger. I can only give 2 stars at this time.

> 24 hourGreat build, including a great cable which firmly attaches to usb3 sockets. On Mac, good read/write speeds of 530/460 MB/sec respectively, but only while SSD fast cache buffer is free and there is pre-cleared SSD memory available. SSD cards cant write over previously deleted data unless that data has been cleared by a separate pass, at which time the write speed drops to 6 MB/sec while it does that pre-clearing. Once I learned this unusual behavior (of all SSDs Im told) I was very happy with this 1TB unit and have 2 of them.

> 24 hourI was skeptical at first with how poor some of the other reviews were. some claimed it to be as slow as any other HDD and as a gamer looking for fast loading screens I wasnt too sure. However I can assure you after playing both CS:GO and BF2042 all day on this device I saw no real difference between those games loading from my built in SSD and this SSD. Do note I am running it with the USB C to USB C on a Gen 2 USB C 3.2 port. Im not sure if that has an advantage over a Gen 2 USB A 3.2 port, I havent tried it. As of today 8/29/22 the SSD works great for gaming. If I run into any issues in the future Ill be sure to update my review and if you never see this review change its still in great working condition.

> 24 hourI dont know whose fault it is, but the product description for the 1TB USB stick is incorrect, and the error is significant: says USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10GB spec), but the package is clearly labeled USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5GB spec). Now of course the USB labeling was invented by some gnome with a bad sense of humor, but if youre going to use the labels, you have to get it right. (To be fair, the upto 600MB/s is a clue that should have raised my suspicions, but unfortunately I wasnt really paying attention to that.) This might still be a reasonable product for the price, but not what Im looking for. Caveat emptor.

> 24 hourIts thin, feels solid, black aluminum skin and comes with USB/USBC and USBC/USBC short cables. I like short cables as it reduces transmit times. I dont have data on read/write, but it seems very speedy. So much better than a plate drive! Omg! I am very happy, would recommend to anyone.

> 24 hourI wanted a fast, relatively large sized, and portable drive to take with me for MBP time machine backups. This drive was priced competitively, and seems to work really well for my purposes.

> 24 hourI dislike nothing about this product and I think its a great value, very durable and has the right amount of storage capacity for what I purchased it for.

> 24 hourSeemed like a decent drive. Light, relatively solid, pretty fast. I placed it in my ventilated rack where the drive never left or was bumped or damaged in any way. I loaded about 500 G of data on it and it became unrecognizable by my machine in less than 45 days. Tried multiple cables, different machines, and recovery software - but its like the drive just went poof. The hassel of moving that much data around from different sources again.... I dont even want to think about it right now. Just pick something else....
