Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Silicon power's rugged 1tb external hard drive on windows 11. It offers a very capable backup as well as a daily drive. This drive is also very portable and rugged too.

It is so fast! It even seems fast enough taht you could play games or run programs off of it. Good read/write speeds of 530/460 mb/sec respectively, but only while ssd fast cache buffer is free.

I use this for storing my games on my ps4 slim. It works great. I also use it with my xbox. It stays on even when the xbox is off.

It’s everything they say and even that may be understated. I hope that someone new to the product will be able to ease their possible skepticism and purchase with confidence. My only complaint is that there is a slight separation between the two halve...  Read More

I then add a holder latch to the side of one of the shortways strips to hold the connection wires for usb powered drives.

Quality


After formatting it with the ps4 for use as an external drive; it immediately worked.


I’m using this for my xbox external, fantastic product


We got the 1 tb version - it easily connects with the usb cord and does not need any external power for it to run.


But this is a small annoyance considering the otherwise excellent quality of this ssd.

Price


This was a great buy at a great price!

Shipping


Super strong, military grade and is super fast on usb c port.


Is as fast as accessing it on your c drive.

Competitiveness


Add in the great price point (especially when you can catch it on sale) and it's a no-brainer for me.


This drive does not allow ps5 apps to run directly off of it.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    First that burns electricity and second its more demanding of the little electric motors in a conventional hard drive


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Well see if they still work a few years from now but in my mind they should be more reliable long term


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Plugging into my computer it automatically comes with so stuff already installed with warranty notes and etc testing it out it only crashed on me once because i was scrolling through my massive files without letting it load


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The drive doesnt appear to get more warm than expected while gaming in 1 hour or more sessions


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Ive tried pressing the two halves of the aluminum casing together and also tightening the screws that hold the two halves together but there is light from the indicator led shining through the small space between where the two halves of the case dont quite come together
