Pros

It's perfect for transferring and storing files, especially large videos.

It's lightweight small, with a very durable enclosure that can take quite the beating inside my backpack. The unit is so small and compact. Once the child gets older they will get one of these as well.

One of the best portable hard drives i own. Combines ample storage space with an incredibly small form factor. Impressed with shock, vibration and drop proof feature. Has consolidated what i previously managed with three external drives.

Comes with usb-c to usb-a converter and usb c to usb 3. Cable. Comes with software from acronis.

Crucial is my go to for reliable internal and external pc storage. I use it to back up files, family photos and other things on them to ensure if anything happens to my laptop that i will have a copy of everything.



Cons

Should have gone for samsung. This is the first and last time i purchase anything from this company, micron crucial. This product *. I had to pay gst of $90 for ups to deliver it. Now i know why they had me pay the gst.
