Pros

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

Short cables reduce transmit times. Light enough to velcro to the back of the mac. Plenty fast and so far durable.



Cons

Caveat emptor. Almost flimsy.

The usb-c port on the drive is faulty. The drive stops responding until it is unplugged and plugged back in. It's probably fine if used as a backup drive, but it is a lot slower than other ssds. Not to mention there was a sketchy exe when it was initi...  Read More

Gen 2 (10gb spec), but the package is clearly labeled usb3. To be fair, the upto 600mb/s is a clue that should have raised my suspicions. The write speeds are fair, down to under 2 mb/s.

Quality


Been very happy with the product - ssds are the way to go - fast and much less likely to fail.


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.

Shipping


Is as fast as accessing it on your c drive.

Competitiveness


Using silicon power's rugged 1tb external hard drive on windows 11, usb 3.

    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

    All hard disks develop bad blocks even right out of the factory and ssds will use some space for processing and some chip manufacturers use proprietary designs that dont match open standards usually a bit more durable though they seem to last a bit longer

    Second one or two of you talk about velcro mounting


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Great idea but the best implementation i have found is not affixing velcro to the drive


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Instead i use velcro strips i cut from a long roll and build a caddy with one or two short ways and always two thinner longways with an opening in the caddy at the top that has a latch strip then i can put the drive in the caddy stick the whole thing to a velcro flat on the back of the screen latch it so it all travels together etc

    No exaggeration with that statement

    The description says it comes formatted fat32
