## Description

Review: Kaufempfehlung - Ich nutze den Stick als Träger eines temporären Betriebssystems und mit USB3 merkt man davon nichts. Wusch - ist alles da. 512 GB reichen für Normal-Computer-Nutzer völlig aus. So nach 3 oder 4 Std wird der Stick ein wenig handwarm, daran ändert sich bis zum Feierabend auch nichts.
Review: A very slow unlocking experience - Unlocking this ssd was a pain. At first it was instantly fast when data were little to none. But as more data piled on the wait time for Transcend Elite to show up is a ridiculous 15 minutes. I gave up in the end. Removed the password, uninstalled Transcend Elite and ended up using Bitlocker.
