SSK Portable SSD 500GB External Solid State Drives, up to 1050MB/s USB C SSD External Hard Drive USB 3.2 Gen2 for iPhone 15/Pro, Windows, Mac, Android Phones and Tablets

What a great drive. Works fast and is small enough to attach to the side of my computer with adhesive tape. Also has a hook for hanging. I loaded a very large file of all backup documents and only took about 45 min compared to 3 or 4 hours for a mechanical drive. Will slowly covert all of my mechanical drives to this one.

5 stars in initial quality. Got a bit hot while loading 1.3TB of data. I used a usb fan to keep things cool as this was expected. Transfer rate was fairly consistent with no issues. This drive is now in constant use; so I'm curious how long this drive can hold up. If it makes the low end of the typical time (5 years), I'll be more thanhappy with that. Love how small this drive is in physical size.

Fast, reliable, compact, convenient. I recently lost two “mechanical” drives that malfunctioned, losing all of the stored data. I tried repairing the drives, but to no avail. True, I could have sent to a company to recover the data, but that would have cost $1000 to $2000! This solid state drive has twice the storage capacity of the older drives at less than half the cost! Excellent value!

This little drive is impressively tiny, a true oxymoron given its large 1TB capacity, which I chose for the price.File transfers have been fairly quick. I'm currently using it for editing images and organizing files before moving them to permanent storage.So far, it's working well.

Excellent, inexpensive SSD drive that really delivers. I'm using these to offload VST piano sounds from my Mac. That means it has to be fast and it is! As far as reliability, I've had them run around the clock (attached) on my Mac and haven't had a failure yet. I've purchased 3 so far and it has been very good.

My first solid state external drive. Much smaller than hhd drives. Holds 1 tb. of data. Easy interface. Incredibly small.

I bought this to increase storage on my PS5. Stupidly I didn’t realize you can’t actually PLAY games off of external storage, and Sony actually allows you to install a second internal SSD (which I would’ve bought instead of this had I done my research).That being said: it works as backup storage. I plugged it into my PS5 with the usb c to usb a cable included (nice touch to include 2 types of cables). My PS5 formatted it and I was able to move older games to it without issue. Took a while to move 500gb (90+ mins) over, unsure if it was the console or SSD that was slow to write the data.The drive is small, I knew it wouldn’t be huge, but I didn’t realize how small it would be. Fits in the palm of your hand. Smaller than a credit card, but thicker. Which is nice because I can just leave it plugged in to the console and not worry about it dangling. Or later can use it as portable storage for my laptop.I don’t have much criticism, it was pretty fairly priced, though I haven’t seen the speed performance yet it advertises. Maybe with a laptop it would work faster.
