This drive is very thin and light, perfect for traveling in a small laptop bag. It is fast. I get 1000MB/s with it connected to a fast USB C 3.2 port on either my laptop or my desktop. I use it to transfer files between my desktop and my laptop - mostly photos and videos. I also use it to do backups of my laptop. I like it so much that I bought a second one. I got them at a great sale price!

This is a good software package with many useful apps included. But you may encounter installation issues, as I did. If either of the two serial numbers (keys) are flagged as invalid, you have to go to the nearest Best Buy physical store to have your purchase cancelled, and get a new digital product. The problem can not be fixed via chat or phone. Also, Corel will not provide you with a solution. I spent a week before I was told what I had to do.
Also, the installation of the many apps can be intimidating to one not experienced with folders and file structures. The installation sets up a sub-sub directory that contains a number of folders. Inside most of them is an executable file used to install a particular program in the package. The purchaser has to go to each in turn to do the complete installation. Be sure to install the PaintShop Pro program first - it is the main one, and needs a valid serial number to proceed.
Despite my problems installing the package I would recommend purchase of this package, particularly if you can get it on sale. I find it to be a very useful set of tools.

The first thing I noticed was is how amazingly compact and solid this external SSD drive is. I use it for keeping backups of my laptop - I have two of these drives and alternate between them. The drive is very fast - typically 1000MB/s on my fast USB 3.2 connection. The drive is very thin, and takes up very little space in the outer pocket of my laptop bag. It is excellent value.

I purchased this bag for my new HP Omnibook X Flip 2-in-1 16" laptop. The laptop is a perfect fit, and is well protected inside the bag. Because this laptop has a 16-10 profile, it is a little higher inside the bag but still fits well. There is enough space in the side pouch for a compact mouse. The bag has very good construction. I consider it to be a good buy.
