I bought this disk as extra storage for system backup and files in my laptop. I have a Crucial M2 disk where windows is installed. A full Windows backup to this disk takes only 5 minutes!

This SSD as a slow bitrate. I wanted a backup SSD + put my Kdrive on it, and there is big lantecy for synchronizing and it takes so long to make copy, and freeze my computer while I copy. I do not recommend.

The 4 TB, crucial solid state drive, looked appealing, except when I got it here, it was next to impossible. Copy the sea drive files over to the new system. Despite 2 contacts with technical support, this drive still remains sitting on the sidelines, gathering dust As the support team
Did not meet my expectations for helping. I think I will have to return this for a refund unless support reaches out and does the install themselves on my computer? I used to be a hard drive and memory installation expert. When I sold computers, but this one's got me baffled

DO NOT buy direct, use Amazon. Unfortunately I bought the wrong 4TB SSD for my son. Should have been an NVMe. Product was unopened.
Payed for return shipping and then they will only partially refund.
