1.0 out of 5 starsAbsolutely Dangerous

So, after 3 years of battles with this little piece of rubbish (bought on March 2021), I can only warn you: DO NOT BUY THIS USELESS DANGEROUS SSD. The way it overheats is ABSOLUTELY NOT NORMAL. I know there are countless online reviews saying this is completely normal and even expected. IT IS NOT. The metal ring (the orange one) overheats to the level that it LITERALLY BURNS your hand. I read some reviews back then stating this was supposed to be like that as the SSD was trying to dissipate the heat. NO WAY. So, now I have an awful useless plastic brick because guess what... It finally happened: it burnt itself. So, just save yourself a major headache and buy a way better reliable SSD. The LaCie next to it is 2-3 years older than this little piece of garbage, it also has a huge piece of aluminum (the orange rim), and it works just as brand new. It has never overheated. NEVER. Just go for a LaCie: way better, and unexpectedly cheaper. I bought this 1TB SanDisk for $255 CAD. A 1TB LaCie is $150 CAD. Do you remember the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USB Type-C? Same thing. Absolutely dangerous. Make your own conclusions.
