Ultra Slim 500GB Portable External Hard Drive, USB 3.0, Black, for Mac and PC Computer Desktop Workstation PC Laptop PlayStation, Xbox One, PS4, PS5 (Black, 500GB)

This works really well, with an iPhone. I would recommend it.

Item arrived next day. Well packaged and left in mailbox during a snowstorm. Thank you. I bought this 2TB HDD for my fiance for her to store images for her crafting business. It formatted easily and I'd genuinely 2 TB. Very pleased and so is she.

Mine came with a WD Black inside, but the description says that IST may contain other brands. So NOT a low-end drive inside. I formatted mine as an EXT4 file system on my Pi 4. It performs great.

I just needed a cheap SSD to add some storage but also allowed me to run PC games from. I've had great luck running games in the past from portable SSD's so I took a flyer on this.First the Good: Size was correct. I ran a test and was getting over 1,000 MB's a sec. read speed.Set up was easy and got using it right away. Also, my drive contained a Micron NVme SSD 500GB. Your brand WILL/MAY vary but here is a link on Amazon to the exact drive I got. https://www.amazon.com/Micron-MTFDKBK512TFK-Lenovo-Ultrabook-Surface/dp/B0B8HCHG8MThe Meh: The USB C cord is TINY. Like 4 inches maybe? See the photo. IF you need any more space be sure to buy a longer cable. If you have USB C input on your motherboard def go that way as you wont get the top speeds with say USB C to reg USB. The cord that comes with it is USB C to USB C. Also, this drive runs about 10 degrees hotter than my others but hasn't been an issue.The Possible Bad: So I have used this drive quite a but over the past few months and on like 3 or so occasions, after booting my PC it wasn't reading the drive. I had to unplug it and plug it back in and it was fine. As I said, this has happened less than 5 times over the course of over 60+ PC boot ups. Nothing has happened at all when it was in use, whether during transfer or gaming. Could be the way I have it jury-rigged and leaning or could be a wiring issue, I'm not sure. The SSD itself is at 100% health, I have checked. I will try a new cable soon either way. Just wanted to mention that but for the price/speed and quality, I still recommend this affordable drive.Just FYI for PC gamers have run Elden Ring, Stellaris, and Fallout 4 all from this drive. All ran great. Transfer speeds seem fast also though I don't time them.

Copies very fast, i used it to back up my photos and music from my PC.

YES, it's an external 500GB SSD for about the price of a bare (internal) m.2 drive.YES, the m.2 drive comes out to use in an m.2 NVMe slot.YES, it's a -name-brand- drive inside! (All three of mine were Samsung.)YES**, it works with an USB-A adapter. (Demands 900mA, so have a powered hub!)**Have a good one. I used (ASIN B09XR3CWPP) with the included cable and it worked "fine" in the USB 3.0 port on a 2012 Mac Mini. A Finder copy only managed ~100MB/sec. And yes, I flipped it over.

I bought the 1TB model and it just arrived. It's really, really fast, true type C speed, and there were no errors. And the included cable is thick, so they didn't scrimp on quality. Dollar for dollar it's a great buy. Of course, I don't have long-term data but so far, so good. If you want to connect it to a Type C port, pick up a Type A to Type C converter, as the male end of the cable is Type A.
