    Incredibly Fast Portable SSD

    This drive is the best small, portable SSD I’ve used. It beats most other portable hard drives in size and speed. If you’re looking for portable storage and speed is a requirement, this drive is a good option.

    Compact external SSD with power!

    My very first SSD external hard drive and extremely impressed with it's power/speed. I have multiple external hard drives for extra back-ups just in case and primarily use it for video editing for Final Cut Pro - storing and using all project files/libraries directly through the external hard drive to maximize space on my computer. Upgrading to an SSD external was the best decision I ever made. Editing videos, transferring files, and rendering edits are a lot quicker now. Highly recommend this product if you want to save computer space and get jobs done faster. It even fits in your pocket better than an iPhone 8 Plus.

    Got this on sale at a great price, but even so, it is great to have a high speed external drive with this much storage. Makes steaming audio for studio work and performance possible.

    Fast Drive but Cable Included is Too Short

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Drive is amazingly small and fast. Everything works well with the exception of the very short cable that is included... The short cable has a tendency to bend when connected and cause the drive to disconnect from your computer sometimes. I was able to fix it by using a longer cable I already have, which has no issues.

    Ultra fast and portable

    We have had countless external drives to work and personal use and none have been able to compare with the ease of use, portability and speed that this drive offers. At the price you pay for this drive you get a keychain sized drive, a USB c cable, and a usb c to a adapter. The only draw back I have is the length of the cable provided. It is about 4 inches which might be too small for some people but flat on a deal works just fine. I’ve been using it as an CACHE drive for my Adobe After Effects work and it haze been excellent. Highly recommend this item.

    Transfer Photos From Iphone to Solid State Drive

    I bought this to copy photos and videos from an ipad to this ssd. I connected the ssd to my laptop that had Windows 10 on it. Then I connected my iPhone to the laptop. I did not download nor install any software for the ssd. I selected to import photos. Windows asked me whether I wanted to download photos from the ssd or from the iPhone. I selected iPhone and the selected that I wanted the photos downloaded to the ssd. I then selected the photos and videos that I wanted to download. The transfer was very fast. I transferred a combination of 2,500 photos and videos and the ssd did not get hot. This is an excellent product.

    It's a nice portable drive for those quick backups on the go or to access files wherever you are. It's small and rugged enough to handle the little abuse it may endure during transport. You don't buy this drive for its capacity, you get it for it's speed and portability which is what it does very well. They are definitely faster drives available but they also cost a bit more. This is a good budget friendly devices that allows connection for older and newer devices. It's a great addition to any setup or workflow you may have.

    Sufficiantly fast to run linux on

    Running linux off a USB key is painful because USB keys are about reading and writing big blocks of data like photo or songs. They start off fast and get slow quickly so don't believe the published numbers. This little USB drive is also optimized for photos and songs however it's pereformance is fast on the start and remains fast so it works well either as a bootable device or as a place to put virtual machines. Best of all it is small and comes with a short USB C to USB C cable and a USB C to USB 3 adapter. Just perfect for my little 2-in-1 or my MBP.

    Fast external storage

    Solid state drives are the only way to go for external storage these days. This device is somewhat larger physically than other SSD's like the Samsung T5 and T7 series, but it's still a compact device and fast enough to keep up with the USB ports and internal drives in most computers. In other words, this device is not likely to be the bottleneck when copying files from your computer. Nice that manufacturers are finally supporting USB C on external SSD's. Recommended.

    I'm using it since 2020/jan and I only have compliments to make. First of all, it has a great reading and writing speed. The weight is very very light. The material is rubberized and very comfortable, not letting the SSD slide on the table. The cable has a good thickness, with a "protection" close to the connector, preventing the cable from breaking. It comes with a USB-C - USB-A adapter but I don't use it because my laptop has a native USB-C port. I really recommend it.

    This drive is ridiculously light and portable. This is not your ordinary SSD. Most SSDs are the size of a laptop hard drive, but this drive is about 60% of that size. This leads me to believe they use "m.2" SSDs for this drive. The storage space is decent and it performs as you would expect from other SSD drives. The unit also comes with a short USB Type-C cable, probably 5" or 6". Works great on any of the newer macs, or PCs that have it equipped. Don't have a newer computer? No worries, it comes it a Type-C to Type-A adapter.

    Great portable SSD. Small and thin form factor. It came with a short (less than a foot) usb-c cable with a usb-a adapter to place on one the ends for legacy devices. For WRITING speeds. All data coming from my onboard ssd (surface pro) to these devices. Sandisk usb 2.0 flash drive: ~8mb/s Sandisk usb 3.0 flash drive: ~17mb/s WD usb 2.0 hard drive : ~27mb/s WD usb 3.0 hard drive: ~80mb/s Sandisk usb 3.0 ssd: ~290mb/s This makes transferring large files a breeze.
