Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Very pleasing form factor and sturdiness. Decent drive for the money. Hope to ease skepticism and purchase with confidence.

Small, usb-c power/data cable in front, has a sleep mode. Short cables reduce transmit times. Comes with a c-port and usb3 port cable, which is useful. It is completely plug-and-play.

best storage ssd drive i’ve ever had. Solid state drives are much more durable than hard disks. Can be used with other usb powered drives as well.

I use this for gaming because my laptop has limited drive space. I use my ssd for storing my games instead on my main ssd which is the internal. I have about 100 movies and 20 games from my steam library on this drive and everything runs perfectly!



Cons

Caveat emptor. Steer clear of this bargain. What a shame.

The ssd is cheap feeling. Almost flimsy. Also it feels cheaply made with cheap materials.

This one is hard quality and it is nice (even nice to look at).

Price


I bought the 2tb pro version for $80 and this thing is a crazy good deal.


Nice cost-effective solution for backing up valuable data.


I'm using this for non-critical, routine backup of video and music files, the 2tb version was less than 90 bucks wow.


For 1tb of storage at $59 - the price seemed very reasonable.

Shipping


Shipping was extremely fast and the drive arrived in a couple of days to my address in covin.

Packaging/appearance


This was in turn packed in a cardboard box making the packaging attractive and safe.


The drive itself was packed in a clear plastic enclosure which contained the usb cables and the instructions manual.


I wish they'd offer this case separately, as a sata ssd enclosure, i buy a box full.

Competitiveness


All in all i can say that this drive is of very good quality and can be considered akin to more expensive and well known brands...  Read More


I have used other silicone power external drives, and so that helped me to make a decision to purchase this one.


I bought a few more of these for other windows servers and workstations too.


It's slim and sleek (photo comparison to my google pixel 6 phone).
