I bought this to act as an external SSD boot drive for a 2017 iMac (which have a grindingly slow hard drive which cannot be easily replaced.) I was sceptical as to firstly the ease of set up and secondly the benefit. I have to say that it’s the best ยฃ120 I have spent on a computer add on – the Mac now runs smoothly and there is no discernible lag most of the time. For info, I reformatted the drive according to instructions I found on the net, then cloned the hard drive, and changed the start up drive setting in system preferences. I also was pleased to receive both a USB-C cable and a USB-A cable, which gives me options as to which port to use.

It’s very small, compact, just sits there under my Mac, but has so far been utterly reliable in providing extra memory space for movies that I cannot fit on my deskbound iMac. Just plugged in straight out of the box, and straightaway was giving me so much extra space. Have not yet found any reason to fault this prduct.

Existing IMAC 21″ (2015) had drive errors causing it to need a reinstall every 4-5 months. Was looking to trade it in when I read you can use an external drive as a replacement boot drive. Bought this because it was described as a heavy duty main drive (some of the cheaper SSD drives state they are not designed to be a boot drive or main disk). It is brilliant, ran some performance checks on the previous drive and compared to this SSD it’s now running x5 faster. MAC starts up in 30 seconds with everything loaded compared to 5-8 mins before. No more spinning mouse icon, its hard to believe the difference it makes. If you have a faulty MAC drive, or need to increase its performance, this is ยฃ92 well spent.

Very small lightweight device that would easily fit in a shirt pocket let alone a jacket. Speed seems fair though that is obviously also dependent on what you are writing from or to. As far as longevity goes compared to an HDD we will just have to wait and see.
Addendum: I did order this as a 2TB but only received a 1TB – I rang customer service who offered me a refund or a 35% discount as it had been incorrectly advertised. The 35% discount made it as cheap as a HDD so no brainer and thank you to Amazon customer service for dealing with it so quickly.

I downloaded macOs High Sierra onto this drive and connected it to my late 2009 iMac via the included USB C to A cable, redirecting startup disk to the SSD from the old Mac HDD (following widely available instructions). Absolute game changing difference to speed and not a beachball of doom in sight. Boot up now about 40s and instant surfing, almost no grumble from the ancient DJ inside. Just upgraded the RAM today to 16GB to help it along and it’s a different animal with the combo. The RAM switch on these older machines is so easy and you don’t need to open the machine for this or to hardwire a new disk to achieve a major performance boost. I did a lot of research and some of the comments online are just wrong. This works.

I ordered the 2 terabyte SSD. Thankfully, did not just rip open the box when the item arrived, as soon realised that it was a 1 terabyte SSD.
Contacted. The only help they could offer was to refund me on the purchase.
Looking at the listing now, it has all changed again. Beware when ordering.

My Apple computer is only 2 years old, but for some reason had been running slowly. I most certainly canโt afford to replace it, so I was looking for a way to speed things up. Reviews suggested that I could achieve this by using an external drive as a startup disk. I wanted a solid-state drive for reasons of space, noise and reliability and settled on the Seagate Barracuda 1TB. This is a lovely piece of kit. I canโt comment on its sturdiness, as I am using it exclusively in a home office setting, but it seems strong enough. It is very small and thin…I have it velcroed to the back of my iMac, and youโd never know it was there. My computer has suddenly become the fast, reliable machine it should be. I have installed Mac OS Catalina on it, and have been doing some pretty powerful video and audio editing at speeds that keep me more than happy. To date, its reliability has been 100%, hence the 5-star rating.

I am really devastated, came without dual type C cable, started perfectly first time and than after nomatter how much I tried and followed all possible instructions and support it doesn’t work with any of my android devices. Works acceptably on pc but that’s not what I’ve purchased it for. So sending it back tomorrow.
Update, got another one as refund although this time all cables are there, write speed is barely over 260 with native cables and Surface Book 2.
I guess “that ‘ll do” is best description
