The portable SSD that independent reviewers keep landing on when asked what they would actually put their own files on. Consistent performance under sustained writes is the quiet reason.
This entry is written from the 4 sources listed at the bottom of the page. The numbers are our editorial estimates drawn from that material, not measurements, and no statistical sample sits behind them.
On the evidence gathered here, yes. 88% of owners say they would buy it again, and satisfaction is still 8.5 out of 10 two years in. Independent reviewers still recommend it years after release.
Nothing happens, which in storage is the only outcome worth paying for.
Sequential speeds look dated against current drives. Cable and port wear on heavy field use. SSDs still fail eventually, so backups remain essential.
Independent reviewers still recommend it years after release. Sentiment across the ownership period stays close to flat, which is rare: it reads 8.7 out of 10 in the first week and 8.5 two years later.
Worth it for: Photo and video work in the field; A dependable second copy of important files; Anyone burned by a less reliable drive. Think twice if: You need maximum USB4 speeds; Cheapest cost per terabyte; A single copy of irreplaceable data.
