Quality


Its rugged design ensures it can handle the demands of travel and outdoor use without compromising performance.


Designed to withstand the elements, this drive is both water and dust-resistant, providing peace of mind for those who require ...  Read More


It is dust, splash and drop-proof so it is made to last and sustain some unintentional beating.


The frame appears to be aluminum and silicone or rubber, combined with it's light weight it should resist fall damage easily.

Price


This is an excellent purchase at this price point.


These are amazing and the cost per tbyte are going down.


It has since dropped [at the time of the review] to $221 - a bit higher than the discounted price on amazon us after exchange.


At its current price of $240, especially with a whopping 2tb of storage, this is a deal that's hard to pass up.

Shipping


Transferring files from my older crucial x8 was also very fast, with 100gb or so being sent over in less than 20 seconds.

Comes nicely packaged and unit comes as shown; and i must say it is tiny!


I am just amazed about the size though - when the package arrives, you'll think you got ripped off lol!

Competitiveness


Its consistency in achieving such high speeds is far better than competing brands.
