Very good for the price, hasn't let my down even is the write speed is a little on the slow side.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a drive at an affordable price

It came in a box that was to large with a minimum amount of filler.

Alarmed by packaging it was sent in but it survived gpo, so good news, well no issues running well, quite , im happy enough.
