The Thunderous Storage Solution!

This external hard drive offers lightning-fast transfer SPEEDS and reliable, long-lasting performance .It's perfect for computers with limited internal storage and provides ample space for all of your files and data. The only downside is that it requires a Thunderbolt3 port, which may not be available on all computers. Overall, it's a top-notch option for anyone in need of reliable, high-speed external storage..

Pros
  • Large storage capacity of up to 64TB
Cons
  • Higher price point compared to other external hard drives

Disappointing Thunderbolt3 External Components

Using this product, our team found that it was unreliable and frequently disconnected from our computers during use. The transfer speeds were also much slower than expected, causing frustration and wasted time. The only positive aspect was the sleek design .However, given the high price point we would not recommend this product for anyone in need of reliable external hard drives..

Pros
  • High-speed data transfer rates of up to 1527MB/s
Cons
  • Requires Thunderbolt3 connection, limiting compatibility with older devices
