Anyone else have a similar experience with one of these drives?

    What is the advantage of using this over an USB to SATA adapter?

      You don’t have to deal with using a USB to SATA adapter and the drive has a built in enclosure so you can just shove it into a bag or pocket

      Is no one mentioning the speed, it can easily go 500+ mbps even with older gen type c ports.

      Great if you’re working on large files or installing games even.
