[Aluminum] I really like the versatility of the different USB connections - you never know what port is going to be available when you need to quickly mount a flash drive. You have to fumble a little bit (not too bad) with the USB protectors to get it in the USB port, but at least they are attached, and can't be lost. It is a fast drive that fits easily in your pocket. 5

[0.035 lb] I needed an external USB-C that worked at least as fast as the Samsung T7 1TB at 10Gbps. The price was great, and for some reason, it's pink and I got it. It comes formatted in exFAT32, but it only takes seconds to change it to any other format and/or number of partitions. 5

[250 GB] I used this to store the original 512GB SSD that came with my Zbook Studio 16 as I've upgraded it with a Samsung 980 Pro 2TB drive. Using Macrium Reflect, I was able to image the new SSD with the factory image to the SSD stored in this enclosure. Speed was excellent with no apparent slowdowns during this sustained writing process. Temps were somewhat warm but certainly not hot. I've since used this enclosure to store OS backup images. Again with no issues. Installation is straightforward using the included instructions. Though the rubber fastener at the end of the m.2 SDD is a little finicky. But since they were going to a tool-less design, I can't really complain. 5

[250 GB] Tested. It can record less than 8 minutes in 256GB using the ProRes 4K 60FPS, should get a bigger one like 4TB when it goes on sale. 5
