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.

One benefit of IDrive is that it supports multiple devices on one account. So you don't need to pay for additional licenses for each computer/tablet/phone. (They'd all share the 5tb of cloud storage.)
Actually I'm going to use the carabiners to clip BOTH my SSDs to my pants belt like Slide Rules . One SSD on swinging on each side as I walk down the hall. Yeah, that would be cool.
To be honest, the damn clips are useless IMHO.
Loving the SSD speed for backing up my stuff via a USB-C.

Just got the drive, i primarily use windows, should i format it to NTFS, or use exFat?
i rarely will encounter macs or anything else. We may get a computer with mac OS in the future but if anything only want to make sure it can read the files and copy stuff from it.

SM: Hello Leo
SM: I'm just trying to figure out the difference between those two seemingly equal drives, one sold at Costco, the other... everywhere else.
Leo A.: There is no difference between the two. Both are same products.
Leo A.: AC and G25 are product and marketing codes and they are different for different regions.
Leo A.: They denotes where the product was packaged.
Leo A.: denote*
As a test, I disabled Encryption to see how it compares to the advertised speed of 1000MB/s ( roughly ~ 1GB/sec) . TM reported the backup size to be 65.49GB and the approximate time is 5+ hours, or. 13.098 GB / hour or 0.21 GB / sec
What happened? Is my math incorrect? Even if you factor in the slowness and overhead of TM, it is still less thatn 25% of the advertised speed.?
Also, another test performed last night was to turn on TM and have TM format the drive as encrypted backup (blank drive), it ran overnight and never managed to finish encrypting.
I am suspecting that I got a bad unit? Thoughts?
im a little bummed but at least I got $20 discount--beats no discount.
tl;dr go to costco everyday or risk discounted products being oos or off the shelf.
So basically paid 80
