Pros & Cons
Pros
This thing is awesome. The device is also very durable and has a sturdy construction. The product seems extremely durable and seems like it should last a very long time.
It's quite fast able to accept large files without glitches or delay. It's decently fast, copying large files at 300mb/s according to windows. Based on copying the contents of my 256gb hard drive to the 240gb ssd.

First, the packaging i received is nice.
Competitiveness
My only wish (4 stars for storage capacity) is for a 2tb version.
I’m using this ssd to replace a 1tb older samsung ssd in a raspberry pi 4 running home assistant.
This thing is no bigger than an ipod mini or a container of tic-tacs!
Drag and drop your 500gb+ steam library and free up the c: drive!
