1TB USB Drive,External SSD Fast 550MB/s 2-in-1 Dual-Drive Type C+ A USB3.2 Gen2 Solid State ThumbDrive SSD-Stick for iPhone 15/16/PS4/Android Phone/Tablet/Windows/Mac

I waited to write this review until I had used this drive for several months. I regularly use a flash drive for both backup and syncing of my several computers. Routinely I would access a drive 2 to 6 times a day and carry it my pocket most everywhere I go. Most modern flash drives work pretty well for my purposes except they tend to physically fail while they are still functional electronically. I need both type usb a and usb c connectors. Many drives have some kind of swivel or slider mechanism to make this work, and every such drive I have tried has physically failed in one way or another-- won't lock in position, swivel becomes hopelessly loose etc. With this drive there is no slider to wear out. You could lose the usb a cap, but it is slightly magnetic and has never come off in my pocket. The usb c cover is built into the drive and pivots open. So far it seems to be holding up well. The drive is made of metal, feels solid, and moves large files quickly. You can get faster ssds, but this is quite fast and pocketable. It worked just fine on Windows, Mac, and Android. No cord necessary. I got 1 tb for sixty five dollars. That's a good price. I recommend it with no reservations.

Ok, this is going to read like an advertisement, but I have never been happy about buying a USB SSD before. I will be honest, I bought this USB SSD cause it was low price, was fast and had USB-A and USB-C connector. I honestly didn't give much thought to the device, until I opened up the Amazon delivery package, felt and examined the device. I was impressed immediately and was surprised at its build quality, which I didn't expect. I thought it would be the run of the mill SSD USB cheap plastic device, I didn't know and didn't read that it was built out of High Grade Zinc alloy housing. If you look at the device it looks impressive, it doesn't look cheap and when you hold it in your hand, feel it and touch it it oozes quality. The weight is just enough to let you know it is there, it is a nice weight. Taking the cover off of the USB-A side has a nice friction pull, pulling it off and putting it on, there is no cheap plastic ridge click feeling but a smooth friction action putting the USB-A cover on and off. The USB-C protective cover is a pleasure to operate, again oozing a quality type feel and the markings on this SSD USB device are nice and will not wear with time. I operated this USB device with my PC which has a USB-A port and with my Samsung phone which has a USB-C port, in both cases it operated smoothly and quickly with no issues. On top of this, it came with a very nice leather-built pouch with a key chain holder. This is one of the issues of USB drives, you put it down somewhere and you forget where you put it, the nice leather pouch with key chain means one will always know where the USB device is. I highly recommend this USB SSD device, it is apparent that SSK designers put in a lot of thought into this device from a look, feel, handling, mechanical protection, ease of portability as well as a lot of storage and quick speed as well as port flexibility, having both USB-A and USB-C. I would never think I would write a review about a USB device since all the previous one's I bought were cheap plastic and you couldn't put them on your key chain. But this USB device is nice/fun to handle, look at, store and operate........very nice product.

For the record, I am reviewing the: SSK 1TB USB Drive,External SSD Fast 550MB/s 2-in-1 Dual-Drive Type C+ A USB3.2 Gen2 Solid State ThumbDrive SSD-Stick for iPhone 15/16/PS4/Android Phone/Tablet/Windows/Mac First, this thing is amazing, the solid feel of it in your hand lets you know that it will last. The metal housing is designed very well, the cap fits snugly and it really does the job and quickly. The interesting thing about this is that you do not have to eject the thing, like every other thumb drive I have ever had. There isn't even a menu option for eject. It is large enough to do my transfers easily and the copy rate is quick and I am very happy with my purchase. I think for 1 1TB drive this is pretty amazing for the price. I am sure it will be very durable and last a long time. I can Highly recommend this thumb drive.

Speeds drop after the cache is overwhelmed, as expected. However, sustained large file write speeds as tested via 10gb command prompt testing shows on average 100MB/s, with reads significantly higher, near 500 MB/s. Smaller files will write much more quickly, and for a usb C 3.2G2 unit, I find these figures to be acceptable, especially given the agreeable price of the unit. It does get slightly warm during heavy use, warmer on a 3.1 port, but still not concerningly so. I would recommend this unit.

Sleek, solid, and a fine alternative to the forced "Cloud" storage mechanisms baked into too many proprietary OS apps nowadays; The case was a nice touch, as well. If your device motherboard doesn't support expansion options or compatability, this can be a decently affordable solution to safely prevent data corruption until you have a more modern device. The only reason I gave it Four stars is due to its oddly frustratingly slow transfer rate, and alarmingly high internal heat when plugged into a phone.

Funciona muy bien, irreal que en ese tamaño le quepan los 2TB y la capacidad es real, ya le metí 1.4 terabites y sin problema, es rápido, solo que depende que tu computadora tenga los puertos nuevos y más rápidos para que funcione al 100%, en mi caso transfirió bastante bien 300 gigas a una tasa de 150mb/s pero mi compu ya es vieja, después de los 300 gigas si mermó mucho la velocidad por que se calienta bastante, pero funciona muy bien. Es muy robusto, se siente pesado pero no es grande. Excelente precio lo compré en $2,600 pesos, y está excelente. Que traiga las dos salidas integradas usb a y usb c, está increíble súper versátil y actual.

I hate writing bad reviews but I need to give a long term feedback. I bought this item in October 24 and it worked fine, until it didn't. I only used it for storing large 4K videos. I used it on Mac and Android tablets (Samsung Tab S8 Ultra). The format used is ExFat. In summary, the SSD works fine in sequential writing (file after file). The SSD heats a lot, by this I mean 50 degrees and more, when writing files. I had this issue on all devices (Mac Mini, Macbook M1 and Android). Which means I had to unplug it and let it cool down before writing more files. The main issue is when I deleted files and then rewrite on it. The speed would fall down to an abysmal 5mb/s, which not acceptable on an SSD. I'm not sure if the cache is the issue or the SSD controller. Same thing happened when I approach 2TB (the speed becomes inconsistent at 1.8TB). I am disappointed as I constantly need to delete and rewrite new file on it. I can NOT recommend this portable SSD

A velocidade de transmissão de dados é muito boa.

Love this little drive. Lots of memory and having a USB-A and USB-C option is great. Very fast to transfer info.

Honnêtement je ne savais pas qu’il existait une clé USB aussi rapide et avec de telle capacité. Les transferts se font rapidement ( vidéos, photos, musiques ou autres). Je suis très satisfait de mon achat.
