Small, handy and mega reliable!

Ideal for demanding on-the-go work
External SSDs are always expensive.
But honestly, this product is a gem. Small, robust and very powerful, it allows me to move and manage my photo (Capture One Pro) or video (Adobe Première and After Effect) sessions on site, very quickly.Pro
- Reliable
- Quick
- Robust
- Slight
- Ideal for demanding on-the-go work
Contra
- Expensive (anyway)
- G-tech cable quality
- I wish G-Tech would stop making geeky designs and pay product designers
So good that I have two...
Although a bit ugly, it is tiny, really light, fast and perfectly protected.
Pro
- slight
- small
- solid (shocks, water)
- fast
- usb-c and usb-A cables included

Small, very robust and reliable SSD. Excellent with Mac laptops (fast and HFS+ ex works).

Must-Have!!
I have 2 of these SSD hard drives in use. They are indescribably stable and fast!
It is and probably remains the best SSD I have ever had.
I can recommend it to everyone.Pro
- Quick
- Stable (IP67 protection class (water and dust)
- USB 3.1 Type C Gen. 2
- compact (credit card size)
- High quality processing
Contra
- High but justified price
Must be formatted for Windows 10. Then perfect.
Promising product, but my relatively new Lenovo T570 laptop (latest drivers installed) does not show the SSD hard drive in Windows Explorer, although it recognises the hard drive (it is shown in the control panel). So I can't save anything on the SSD or work with it.
When I phoned Digitec, they advised me to download the Windows Wizard from the manufacturer's website and format the SSD for Windows 10. Now it works perfectly :) and I improve the rating.
