I bought two 1TB models. When connecting a Mac Thunderbolt 3 (at 10Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2) I got about 760Mb/s each on its own, but by creating a bunch of drives and striping the RAID 0 into a pair I got 1350Mb/s . s! It's almost as fast as my internal flash drive. And that's 2TB at this speed for just $250 retail! You only get 760Mbps on the old USB 3.0, so there's no benefit from RAID 0. You can't get these things to work until USB 3.1 Gen 2 is running on your computer. Macs with Thunderbolt2/3 get it for free. Note, however, that they don't have daisy chain ports and thunderbolt is daisy chain only. So you either need a 3.1g2 hub or enough free tbolt ports. The form factor is thicker but slightly larger than the Samsung T5 and much faster. It's amazing they went so cheap. Maybe I'll get a few more. Time will tell if they hold up.
