Bought SSD in August 2022 in addition to Seagate backup plus portable drive. Speed is simply heaven and earth: SSD allows you to quickly process photos and work with programs larger than 200 GB. It is noteworthy that encryption does not lead to a drop in performance. In my opinion, there are very few alternatives in terms of capacity, speed, design and compactness on the external device market. The read / write speed was tested via USB 3.0 by the AS SSD Benchmark program (see the screenshots, they clearly show the difference). The downside of the device is the cables, which are rather rigid, uncomfortable and only 45 cm long. However, this may be due to the requirements of their bandwidth.
