Under load 104º after constant writing a 185gb back-up.

Ie=utf8i used carbon copy cloner to make a 180g back-up and the whole process took 15 minutes.

Price

Can’t beat this drive for the price !

Crazy that it comes with a 480gb drive as well for the price.

Shipping

Add the 2-day shipping with prime and you can't loose.

Competitiveness

Blisteringly fast, read speed is better than advertised (i got almost 2500m read speed connecting with my thunderbolt 3 port), ... Read More

Compared to my older ssd, saving and processing in photoshop seems almost instantaneous.
