> 3 dayIve only had this 1 TB model for a week or so. I copied several folders ranging in size from 210 GB to 2 Gb to the SSD. Smaller copies were lightning fast as expected. Larger copies (200 Gb) started fast, first 5 GB in about 5 seconds showing estimated copy time of 10 minutes, but estimated copy time quickly climbed up to 2 hours as copy speed fell off to observed 0.01 GB/sec or slower. (Im working with a MacBook Pro, 2.9 GHz 6-core i9 processor, 32 GB ram, 2 TB SSD.) Final copy time for 200 GB was 1:40 hours. I repeated this test with similar results. Next I copied the same 200 GB folder to a 4 TB Seagate portable HDD - copy time was 21 minutes. (FWIW, the HDD copy required a USB-C to USB-A adapter, the SSD copy was direct connected using the 12 cable supplied with the SSD.) Im afraid this SSD will be returned.

Greater than one weekThis drive is the Cadillac of drives. Super strong, military grade and is super fast on USB C port. Buy it.

Greater than one weekSteer clear of this bargain. After formatting it for my Mac, which failed the first attempt, I ran a Disk Sped Test. The read results are OK, but this disk wont consistently write even 10MB/s despite the claimed speeds of 50x that number! On repeated tests the drive gets progressively slower, down to under 2 MB/s. It is completely useless for any photo or video editing, or even a simple backup of my hard drive. I should have spent the extra $30 to get the 1TB drive from Samsung or SanDisk.

06-06-2025I needed space and I could have bought 6-8TB for the price of a 1 TB SSD. But I decided on a SSD because Im tired of mechanical drives. Usually in electronics, if it works for 30 + days, it will last 5 years, But Hds are touchy and often fail without mercy. So, a 1 TB at $125 was the way to go. If it works for a month, it will be reliable for a long time. This one is small, USB-C power/data cable in front (the only thing I dont like about it), has a sleep mode but is plenty fast reading and writing. My PC is only 3.0, but very fast. But I like it so much, Im considering another one now. Good Luck

> 3 dayI needed an extra SSD to keep my photos. This SSD works perfectly for this purpose, running MacOS.
