Premier Pro not Premiere Pro this is rich.

I was eager to know why this would be better for video editing instead i realized the name has nothing to do with Adobe's editing software. Guess they did not hear of Adobe Premiere Pro or more likely they named it such to mislead people as SSDs are useful in video editing and the likelihood of a video editor searching for a SSD and finding this product is quite high. If you do a Google search for "Premiere Pro SSD" (with e) the "Premier Pro SSD" (without e) is in forth position.
