    An ideal SSD for mobile use

    Compact, lightweight, shockproof and non-slip casing.
    An SSD designed for laptop backups. I gave it to one of my grandchildren (a teenager!) and it has everything to please him: colour, coating, size and capacity.
    The built-in USB cable limits the risk of damage to the plug (often fragile mini USB on an external case).
    Compared to an SSD + external docking box (the solution I used until now), there is no difference.
    Some reviews mention a low throughput; to be checked, but for backup, it is not important.
