Pros & Cons
Pros
Reviewer received the 256gb model when he used to participate in the vine program. The installation is very simple, the speed is obviously improved. The main advantage is the amount of storage space you get.
Everything works exactly how you think it should, like a thumb drive on steroids. While that would normally be super irritating, i'm willing to over look it in this case. This one by vansuny is a decent option.
I frequently find myself needing to back up a few large files. It's very compact and portable. Packs an os in your pocket.

Highlights
Quality
This ssd is very portatil and fast, with a strong assembly and high quality materials, it's very cool the easy installation

And i like fact there’s no ‘bloatware’ on it like there is on a lot of the name brand drives.
This portable ssd is faster than typical thumb drives of similar capacity.
(01/30/2023)i ran the 1tb model through its paces and compared it with the 256gb model i previously received through the vine program.
