I connected the c to c cable and started copying my files, after about 700gp of transfer, my computer lost the device, could not reconnect.
Price
I picked up this t5 as an amazon deal of the day so i got an awesome price!

But i didn't want to spend a lot of money.

It's super fast (i transferred 325gb in about an hour!
