    This Crucial 4TB is so compact I can carry it in my pocket. It is fast and reliable. Easy plug in and go! Backed up numerous clips for my movie and the download speeds are amazingly fast. Highly recommend to all that want fast reliable backups.

    it certainly is small and portable. I'm hoping it holds up better that the past portable hard drives I have depended on for back ups. According to the Geek squad being solid state this should be better. wish it came with instructions of some type or software for auto backups.

    I love this drive. It is small, sleek, fast, and has worked like a charm. I also love that it is using USB C and and comes in a large storage size. I like this a lot better than the WD drives I've had such as the My Passport, My Passport Ultra, My Book Duo, etc. This is a fantastic drive.

    Excellent storage for on the move. It does not heat up as other external portable SSD do. I would love to see the 4TB go up to maybe 10. I would purchase it.

    This little bad boy is fast as all getout and a nice small size as well. I with it came with a longer cable but I happened to have an extra so it wasn't a deal breaker. I now enjoy the greater storage with near instant transfer times.

    Excellent high speed SSD drive. I use this for very large photo files and it is fast and easy to use. I format for Apple computers. Needed four TB for photo storage.

    Awful write speeds for large file transfers

    If you just want to access files on the drive quickly (for instance, if you're editing footage from it) it works well. But for fast large data transfers it's definitely not a good drive to use. The write cache is pretty awful, which essentially means that it starts out fast (~800MB/s), but after a few minutes of transferring it slows to a crawl (~50MB/s). The read speeds are fine, though, so most people won't have these issues. I was hoping to use it on a film shoot as a fast intermediate drive for large memory card transfers--transferring a few 1TB cards to this, then transferring overnight from this drive to other backup drives--but I wound up spending literally the entire night/next morning just trying to transfer everything to this one (setting phone alarms throughout the night to wake me up and start transferring the next card). My 5TB Western Digital Passport HDD works faster than this and is a quarter the price. So if you have a lot of time to slowly make that initial transfer and just want to read data that's on there quickly, it's a pretty good drive. The size is pretty great, it's smaller than my other portable SSDs (Samsung T5 and T7, SanDisk Extreme Pro), which is impressive since it's 4TB.

    Very small and very fast. Exactly what I needed to move things off my laptop, works great ,and I don't worry about crashes with it being solid state.

    Pricey, high capacity, durable, portable

    Pricey. But a solid state high capacity, durable, portable drive is what I needed. I drop the drive off to various business clients for them to copy data to it. They are not always gentle and after my 3rd spinning portable died, I decided on this SSD drive. Like I said it seems pricey, but after 3 spinners died, it should wind up cheaper in the long run.

    got this as extra storage for my PC for files I want present but don't access too often. As storage, it works fine. Just beware that the transfer times can be quite slow if you're doing multiple files at a time.

    My client had almost 4 TB’s of data that somehow survived a ransomware attack. With an awesome team and 4 TB’s of usb attached goodness (it was IN STOCK!), we were able to put a silver lining on an otherwise dark cloud. Thanks Bestie Buy!
