I think I cannot recommend it at all since our bad experience. There is no good scenario for an SSD which fails after 13 days of work.

For use in both Windows and Mac OS, it was well suited by default. Other hardware doesn't really allow multi os file system access.

No support issues what-so-ever with Western Digital SSD. This product is so easy to use and configure that there have been no issues that required support other than individual research (online). This product is very stable also, even if dropped, functionality has never been compromised. In 2-3 years of usage, not one major issue at all has been experienced

Samsung PRO series never failed in our equipments this is why we thought SSDs today are very reliable. It is not true for the Kingstons

The price is the best option, and a key differentiator, the support and the native application for desktop and for mobile take advantages to others brands or manufactures, this apps are periodically updated this is a plus because others brands only update their apps one per year or more time

  • It helps avoid maintaining 2 different hard disks for different os or performing migration always before formatting the file system type.
  • It helped to reduce cost of maintenance and double hardware procurement.
