This is super fast and probably a great drive for the average user, but contrary to the advertised specs it's not a good boot device for installing an operating system. System. I had to use this device to install vmware esxi hosts and a windows server and the device boots up to a point, but once the install process does a plug and play/usb enumeration the device reboots locked. As for reading, there is another device sold by apricorn/aegis (memory card form factor) that offers an "override" feature, so I'll try that device instead.
