    Perfect

    Kingston is a must-have brand, and this hard drive proves it with its power and size. Silicone protection protects you from shocks, and it ships fast.

    Very good product

    Allows you to store (and save) photos taken with an iPhone 15 Pro, or even shoot professional-quality videos (not used), as well as using it as a hard drive to play large files or videos.
    Be careful, though, as the fragile USB-C cable doesn't like to be bent.

    Excellent

    Nothing to say about this product. Small, easy to use, robust and ultra-fast.
    The 500GB is enough for my current use, but I should have bought more storage just in case.

    All went well

    Everything went smoothly - the order, delivery and use of this SSD "hard disk", which I use to back up one of my computers, replacing an old hard disk.

    Very good

    One of the cheapest, doesn't heat up for my use, allows me to play and record videos without "freezing and artefacts" for example 1280 pixels x 720 pixels, 50,000 Im/s with a bit rate of 13.8 Mb/s.
    I'm using it as USB A, so I've bought the Goobay USB 3.0 SuperSpeed to USB-C adapter, which also works very well.
