Good drive that can be upgraded by the user.

I bought the 500GB and replaced the m.2 with a larger hard drive with my work environment on it and I boot from it and although it's not as fast as a local hard drive the Thunderbolt 3 interface fast enough . Tip if you try to open this drive to update it. You need to remove the rubber strips on the bottom that hide the screws. Don't worry, they'll be right back. You will then need something like a very small flat head screwdriver to gently pry off the bottom panel. You then need to remove a…

Faster than iMac 2020 27 " internal drive, great value.

This drive is faster than the SSD that came with my 2020 27" iMAC. I'm a professional wedding cameraman and shoot in both 4K and in 1080p and this drive is more than able to handle both with ease. It does seem to feel a bit warm to the touch but I haven't noticed any performance issues due to it. I have a 2 terabyte version and it's more than enough for my current projects.This drive is definitely for those looking for a faster drive and have a Thunderbolt 3 connection.I haven't had any…

Pros
  • Not only useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Failed in less than an hour

Connected to mbp 2016 and imported about 60 GB of video clips into Final Cup Pro. After some editing, the hard drive showed up. I plugged it back in and restarted fcp. A few minutes later, the SSD crashed again, this time permanently. No blue light, nothing. Was so disappointed. This is my second t3 SSD (the first was a 1TB plug-in that worked flawlessly for about six months). Send it back to Amazon for a refund.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Exchange available

Lightning fast. The drive it contains has been changed.

Immediately changed the NVME hard drive to 2 TB. Place 480 in another case. The Black Magic speed test shows 2100 writes and almost 2300 reads. Transferred 1.58TB from my Macbook Pro to HDD in 2 minutes. Best deal for TB3 drive.

Pros
  • is clear, I will also write the old
Cons
  • later

Fast external NVMe SSD

The case looks great with its design, style and low blue light. The two cables that come with it are sturdy and the carrying case is handy. As expected, the drive heats up after a lot of reading or writing. It's fast: a 48GB folder copies a 48GB folder to a drive from the iMac Pro over Thunderbolt 3 in under 40 seconds and back in under 20 seconds. Using DiskSpeedTest v3.2, a standard 480GB hard drive has an average read speed of 2480MB and write speed of 1810MB. With the Sabrent Rocket 2TB…

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Infinitely slow

Great accessory too

This is my second TEKQ unit. I have to say that along with great body features, they also come with great accessories. The flexible Thunderbolt 3 cable is the perfect length for portability (0.7 m). And it even comes with a nice pouch, very high quality construction.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Seniors

Compact and Fast

I bought this unit to use with an iMac so portability is not an issue but I was amazed at how small and light this unit is. The body is made of extruded aluminum and is therefore very durable. Connected to a Thunderbolt daisy chain (because bus power is the end of that daisy chain), dedicated partitions are instantly recognized and it performs like a champ. Very fast.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Some Complications
