I bought this particular SSD to use as an external boot drive for my 2017 i5 5K 27" iMac. The software publisher Carbon Copy Cloner recommended me to used to clone my Internal Boot Disk to this SSD. I first reformatted the SSD and then cloned my internal boot disk according to the instructions on it. I was very disappointed with the performance, it was very slow, especially on startup. The next day I am went through all the steps again and can find that it runs pretty fast when using the computer, it still seems to take a bit longer to start the computer instead of the internal drive, but not too slow, so I think it's that Worth money for the price Also the seller was very accommodating.
