I bought this particular SSD to use as an external boot drive for my i5 2017 i5 5K 27" iMac. It was recommended by the software publisher Carbon Copy Cloner, which I used to run my internal boot on -drive cloned this ssd. First I reformatted the ssd and then cloned my internal boot drive to it following the instructions. I was very disappointed with the performance, it was very slow, especially at startup. The next day I'm doing all the steps again I've gone through it and can say that it works quite quickly when using the computer. Nevertheless, the computer seems to take a little longer to start up than the internal drive, but not too slowly. All in all I think it's worth the money for the price. That too Seller was very accommodating.
