Anyways, the drive works as advertised so far. Seems to be very good with reading/writing capabilities.

Bring it to work, and right away that horrid beeping and not being recognized on the computer. To make matters worse, there is no way to view folders as a list. There was read-me instruction for pc and chromebook only.

Highlights
Quality
Excellent product, one more quality: no ac connection, take it from computer, very convenient.
Excellent product had older model for 6 years and worked flawlessly.
After a while the case started to get quite hot and the transfer speed went way down and bounced between 15 and 25 mb/s.
This is the third ssd i've baught of this type and for good reason.
Price

For the price you just can't get any better.
Shipping
0 provided and was gettting 200+ mbps.
