Im very happy and confident with it
With the earlier models i constantly got errors after syncing to my computer
The file system that the drive comes formatted with is a poor choice for this device due to its performance with small files in... Read More
Shipping
If copying large files to the drive from a really fast motherboardmounted nvme ssd its crazy fast
Packaging/appearance
Because of its size i was able to do a complete copy of my files right onto the flashdrive
Competitiveness

However performance with small files is abysmal i got about 4mbs when reading small files and writing is about 1mbs so if you want to move anything with small files around it may not be a bad idea to put them together into an archive or something beforehand

People thinking of getting this device should consider formatting to exfat before using it

Moving small files in addition to being slow also seems to make the drive heat up more than moving a single large file but i have yet to test moving a large file at top speed since nothing else i have gets near the sequential io capabilities of this drive

Because of the surprisingly bad performance this drive has with small files i would recommend this for more of a backup task as opposed for regular use since the low speeds that this drive has with small files would make it unsuitable for use as a daytoday drive for most people

What i really did not like is what they say you can down load to the storage device and huge difference on what you can actually store on it

Instead of a 512 gb they should have called it about a 470 gb
