Review: “go-to” external storage device - Speed, and compatibility, it’s an ideal “go-to” external storage when you’re on the move and you need quick data transfers or want a compact backup. In short its a “go to, pocket friendly and easy to carry, quick backup and retrieval device.
Review: Big thing in small size - Pretty good, fast and efficient device in a size of pinky finger. The ssd looks like a thumb drive. People have hard time to believe when I tell them it's 512 gb ssd. The only issue is that it heats up quite fast and to a great level. One must be in well ventilated or air conditioned room if using this device for a long time. Storage capacity is good enough.
