Pros

Computer info systems hard drive is very compact, silent and fast. I rarely review, however my hope is that someone new to the product will be able to ease their possible skepticism and purchase with confidence. Read and write speeds are actually pret...  Read More

Accessing a word, pdf, jpeg, any folder etc. I use my ssd for storing my games instead on my main ssd which is the internal.

He says the sssd is much faster than a hard disk. The drive writes at 4,000 mb/s.

Price


Best value i could find to get a tb on the cheap.


I bought the 2tb pro version for $80 and this thing is a crazy good deal.

For 1tb of storage at $59 - the price seemed very reasonable.

Shipping


Shipping was extremely fast and the drive arrived in a couple of days to my address in covin.

Packaging/appearance


This was in turn packed in a cardboard box making the packaging attractive and safe.


The drive itself was packed in a clear plastic enclosure which contained the usb cables and the instructions manual.

I have used other silicone power external drives, and so that helped me to make a decision to purchase this one.
