I bought the 128GB version of this SSD card to use with a Sabrent USB 3/SATA enclosure. Originally intended as an alternative to existing USB flash drives, it has now been purchased specifically for creating a bootable USB drive for the FreeBSD operating system. This works quite well, even with the laptop's relatively limited USB 2 support. My own use of this storage device was limited to using it as a boot disk for a desktop OS - Mate desktop, Chromium, Nvidia graphics. Support, all built locally from FreeBSD ports. I don't use it for local I/O testing or digital media storage per se. This configuration, which may be in every way similar to digital media storage, works quite well with the VirtualBox Virtual Machine image installed on this drive in a Sabrent enclosure - very responsive, for all purposes of normal desktop use, even via a USB 2 -Port to fuselage. This disk itself is used as the boot disk with a FreeBSD 12.1 installation (built locally and under local Q/A with no debug flags in the build). Storage in general, but as far as it's supported, and with moderate filesystem maintenance, this works pretty well in my own experience. I may be able to upgrade to a larger Kingspec SSD in the future. In order not to be too frugal, the 128 GB version can also be used perfectly with this case.
