Review: Excellent for expanding capacity of main drive - Plugged it into the fast USB port on my HP All in One Computer. Easy setup. Works great. Unloaded my big picture and video files from my main hard drive. Works great. Very fast.
Review: Fast and compact (2.5 in x 2.5 in) - This is a big improvement from my 10-year old external hard drive. I was able to backup everything from my PC in just a few minutes instead of hours. This saved me a lot of time. It does get a little hot (so do my other external hard drives), but it is not an issue for me since I only use it for backing up my data. In short, it is compact (2.5”x2.5”) and fast. I am happy with the purchase!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small but mighty
*by B***L on October 25, 2025*

This is my first SSD external hard drive, I’m shocked how small it is considering it’s a 2 TB capacity drive. Installation was quick and easy, it takes no space on my desktop, I hide it behind the computer. Since it runs on USB there’s no power cord, which is great. I’m using it with a 2017 iMac. So far so good I was able to transfer the data from a backup to the drive really fast with no hiccups.
