I like that external SSD manufacturers are including longer cables. That has been a huge complaint of mine is that these drives cost $200+ and they give you 5 cents worth of USB cables.

Pros;

• Faster than the T5 for large writes.
• Thinner than the T5

Cons;

• Slower than the T5 for 4k writes (scratch disk work)
• Longer than the T5
• Cables don't have the 10cent Velcro ties of the T5. Not road warrior friendly.
• 16 character maximum Master Password
• Only AES256, (no custom options). Not FIPS 140-2 rated.
• No cut and paste password, thus no password manager passwords. Just try remembering any master password over n years. Which brings me to the next one.
• No easy password factory reset, reset requires putting hard to read characters (the PSID) into a hard to get piece of software (Australian Tech Support didn't know it existed)
• No Linux support for settings changes.

Overall 2/5
