I purchased this to replace several old spinning disks and a bulky 500GB SSD.
It is very well constructed in metal and feels more substantial than the usual plastic USB flash drives. It's amazing to think that something so small can hold up to 1TB of data. I've only used this on a Mac (which was super easy) so I can't imagine it's any more difficult to use on Windows or Linux.
The transfer rate is excellent and performs quite a bit better than my old 500GB USB SSD drive connected to the same USB C port. For those who don't have USB C it also has an old-style USB connector although I suspect performance will not be as good.
The only downside to this product and probably due to its metal construction is it gets very hot. This seems to be normal however according to the limited Googling I did. There are several cheaper higher capacity USB flash drives out there but I'd rather stick with a well known brand for this size of drive.
All in all, recommended.
