This is not how it works... You have half gig speed meaning 0.5 gigaBITs per second. This is read/write at 1 gigaBYTE per second.

There are 8 bits in 1 byte. So if you want to compare the speed, it would actually be ~16x slower to download vs transfer from this drive into internal PS5/XSX console.
dang they added another $20 discount while it's supposed to be on discount this month? i've never seen that at costco. Can anyone confirm? I also just purchased one at costco this week. Gonna go see if I can return or get price matched.
I'm going to be using it for both the PS5 and XSX. You can store PS4 and PS5, XB1 and XSX games on it, but you can't play the next-gen games from these. You just have to move them back to the internals.

Bought 2 instore. They work great, super fast, put my entire Lightroom catalog on them and they work as well as if the photos were on the ssd on the desktop even when editing. Did notice them getting warm but not too hot, this was after several hours of transferring files onto them.

Grabbed one in store. One thing these portable SSD bothers is that they never tell you the expected TBW/endurance. You will never know when the disk is gonna fail. In most cases it should be fine, but there are some SSDs with 200TB write life on the market. Ya never know.
Well this has a 5 year warranty, so should theoretically be ok

How is Sandisk compared to Samsung portable ssds?

I doubt there will be much difference as the it direct competes with T7. I have T7 for my PS5 and bought this for Model Y(still waiting for delivery). I do feel like this one is more rugged and designed to be carried around while T7 has a smaller size but you need to be careful not drop or starch it.

The in-store package, at my store, didn't include the $50 aluminum carbiner, so maybe not that great of a deal.

Correction: the carbiner is included in the box, just not listed as part of the contents. Applause

Wuh oh. No M1 Mac encryption support?

"System Requirements
- Microsoft Windows® 10, Microsoft Windows® 8, Microsoft Windows® 7, Windows Vista®
- Mac OS® X 10.7+ (Intel Based Mac only)"
Another reason I returned the Macbook Air M1 Best Buy $749 deal.

I'm sure it is good for those "all in" on everything Apple including their desktptops/laptops, but I had so many problems with basic things and I'm just talking browsing, MS Office, ADOBE!!!, memory error messages (check MacForums it's a big issue with 8gb M1.)

Maybe I was doing something wrong. I'm not discounting user unfamiliarity but I do know how to do research and get to workarounds.

Can I use this on an iMac ? As a permanent storage (ie: move documents/desktop/user library ) into this ? Not meant to boot from it, just hold my regular files… (and perhaps move the swap file to this?)

Thanks

Nice. My Best Buy chat associate said model number didn't match. How'd you show them the Costco price now that it's Member's Only? Smilie

Here's the model number SDSSDE61-1T00-AC at Costco and SDSSDE61-1T00-G25 at BestBuy. if they tell you it doesn't exist, it's not true. It will come up on search exactly as that. The AC and G25 appear to be the retailers way of creating "mis-matched" model numbers, but the first set of digits are the actual model and last set for retailer ID.

i had a 5 TB hdd just die. Had a lot of important files.

It's a gut punch. The drive was always stationary never anything around it. I mean no shaking or anything that would cause it to fail.

Will getting an SSD nearly eliminate any chance of failure like this

Guess what if you only have one backup of important files you don't really have a backup. Alway use a minimum of two methods of backing up ur data. Just because it's a SSD doesn't mean it will not fail. I use SSDs and web base storage. Believe I know im a wedding photographer and I can't afford a drive failing on me with no backup.
