This is my first USB 3.1/Thunderbolt SSD that I have used on my new MacBook Pro. So I don't have a comparison, but this thing is lightning fast. I mainly use it for video editing. The speed is insane - around 950MB/s reading and writing. Good enough to edit everything I've ever worked on. It's very small, fits comfortably in my pocket, and the build quality is solid. Cable included (thanks!) Overall good value for money. I recommend it.
