Power hungry
on October 11, 2023
Posted by: EssJay16
It's hard to tell how fast and reliable it could be because it requires 3 amps to run. My laptop doesn't supply that current even when plugged in. A better design would be to have an extra USB port on it so that an external power supply could be connected.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Slowest drive I own
on September 10, 2023
Posted by: IDEK
I can barely say anything good about this SSD because it simply doesn't even hit the speeds it claims. Connected through usb-c I barely get 40mb's read/write I can get it up to 450 mb's after unplugging then plugging it back in but it will again drop. I've never even seen 1000? this was a huge waste of my $$$ MY HDD IS FASTER? how?
