I would normally turn down an item that didn't have any reviews or ratings (which this one didn't have when I bought it) but since this little SSD was so new I decided to give the company a try to study and some of their other products to assess a potential risk factor. Obviously I took that risk and I'm still very happy about it. This little guy is small, sleek and super fast. Insanely super fast. The case is essentially a large heatsink which seems to work as it doesn't get very hot even after prolonged use. The center may feel warm, sure, but nothing serious. Can't comment on durability at this time but will come back to update my review if it doesn't hold up over time. Otherwise, no news is good news. The only downside is my friend now wants one for Giftmas.
