AXE MEMORY Portable SSD 500GB Solid State USB Drive, USB 3.2 Gen2 UASP SuperSpeed+. Optimal Speeds Up to 600MB/s Read, 500MB/s Write - Speedy+

This drive is fast and easy to use. Im using it for photo backup and its great. It starts out really fast but will heat up over time and slow a bit. I would rather it speed limit for heat than cause errors. Im using this with windows 11. The snap on cap is a nice touch.

Admittedly, this isnt the cheapest 500GB (465GB formatted on Windows 10) on the market, but the use of the SCSI protocol (UASP) makes this faster than most. On my system (which is not high end), I was able to see write speeds up to 280MB/s and I was able to transfer 176GB of data to this in under 30 minutes. Speeds did get slower as it heated up but stayed about 100MB/s. And speaking of heat, this did get hot during the transfer, but not untouchable, and it is a reminder that most flash drives do warm up under sustained use. I also really appreciate that the cap snaps in place and then fits on the back when in use so you dont use it. I cannot speak to longevity yet, but with any drive, a good backup system is always a must. This drive gets an A+ so far!

Good capacity and good fast read/write speeds youd expect from USB 3.2 drive - around 400MB/sec.

For sure this is one of the fastest USB drives Ive ever used. Its not quite to the stated speed of 600MBs read but it did write faster than the stated 500MBs speed at around 560MBs as you can see in the screenshot I attached to this review. You could actually edit 1080p video directly off this drive. In reality if you are using a lower bitrate 4k video you might be able to edit 4k right off the drive. I hope this becomes the standard for USB drives now. Its amazing how fast this one is!

●AXE MEMORY アクス 500GB 外付SSD (USBメモリ)の感想について ・本製品はＵＳＢメモリと同様なサイズで大容量のＳＳＤです。コンパクトで持ち運びに便利です。 ・本製品の表記上の容量は５００ギガバイトで、使用開始時の空き容量は、４６５ギガバイトと表示されます。 ・本製品は、エクスプローラー上では、「AXE DRIVE」という装置名称で表示されています。 ・Ｃドライブにはウインドウズ本体が格納されており、これに加えて、ユーザーデータをＣドライブに大量に格納すると、Ｃドライブの空き容量が少なくなり、様々な問題を引き起こす原因となります。 ・本製品内に、デジカメの画像データや、ラジオを録音した音声データなどを保管してみましたが、快適に使用できています。 ・Ｃドライブがユーザーデータ追加で巨大化すると、システムイメージのバックアップが長時間かかる様になる為、ユーザーデータは極力、本製品の様なＳＳＤなど、Ｃドライブとは別のドライブに保管するのが良いと思います。

My husband got this to use for file backups. He says it also has good transfer speeds. He’s happy with it and it is small and works well for him.

I received and scanned the device for anything hidden within and it was clean. Paranoia around electronics is recommended especially when plugging any kind of USB drive into your PC. I was able to format the SSD to be compatible with my PS5 and I now use it as extra space to hold just a couple more games.

Very fast but l’ve only seen up to about 330 msg Ad flip out door gets in the wa

Was able to backup all my videos very fast, l’m very pleased

This pocket drive is so tiny but its so powerful. I have the 250 GB version and I can put pretty much anything I want. I can even put virtual os in it and run from this. Not only it run fast, it also does run it so reliably. I really like that this one has a ring hole to make it easier to attach this to my keys. The UASP makes it possible to this fast transfer. This is the best ever thumb drive. Hands down. When I copied a test file (18 gb file) to my PC using USB3.2 Gen2 port, I got roughly 402 MB/s. The speed never dropped significantly. Copying from this USB to PC using USB3.2 Gen2 port was done at around 366 MB/sec with very little deviation from that speed. The only downside to this is the cap is detachable completely. There is a risk that the cap can be lost.
