## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    My 7th Apricorn, still happy customer !
  

*by E***H on Reviewed in Canada on 6 July 2024*

I own a bunh of Apricorn, and so far only one failed on me.This is a new addition, a USB key, while all the others are HDD/SSHD/SSDVery easy to set up and use.NB: Keep in mind to get a USB extension cord, so you don't have to type the code while plugged-in as the pressure may damage your USB connector (both sides)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Super fast USB drive
  

*by H***H on Reviewed in the United States on 28 February 2024*

This is the faster USB thumb drive I ever owned. Certainly impressive. The only downside has been an incompatibility with some USB-A ports (USB 3) when using the drive with an adapter. Apricorn support was very helpful on this. The issue never occurred when plugged into USB-C ports.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very good product. A bit expensive compared to alternative manufacturers.
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in Germany on 4 December 2023*

Perfect, as all products of this manufacturer.Too expensive compared to alternatives.Sad that this device has only one user pin code.It would be great to have the possibility to limit the use on some specific hosts for simple users, but it is not proposed by any manufacturer.
