    In general, good experience on a desktop PC, but only after formatting it to NTFS. It behaved strangely with ExFAT. It won't maintain the maximum writing speed as an internal NVME, but it is definitely much more stable than USB sticks of similar speeds. The cable is very short, which will make it difficult, especially for rear ports on a PC tower.

    One strange thing that happened to me 2-3 times in 1 year (the first time I thought it was just my imagination) is that while in Windows it showed that a folder transfer was completed normally (with the bar animation), after searching for the folder on the disk, I couldn't find it anywhere and had to transfer it again. It's a rare phenomenon, but it's good to mention it.

    First, it should be noted that the disk is USB 3.2 Gen 2. I don't know why they write it as 3.1 here. You can also see the relevant photo from its box.

    So, the disk is excellent, small, and lightweight. It has a nice metallic texture and gives the feeling of a very premium device.

    I use it on a MacBook Pro M1 Pro. Before getting it, I read everywhere that the M1 maxes out at 750mb/s. However, in practice, I saw a big difference as you can see in the measurement images.

    Super satisfied!

    In order to achieve 1000 mb/sec read write, you need to connect it to a thunderbolt port, which I had and purchased for this reason. It is durable, sturdy, high-quality, and compact. It heats up minimally.
