BUFFALO External SSD 1TB - Up to 600MB/s - USB-C - USB-A - USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Compatible with PS4 / PS5 / Windows/Mac) - External Solid State Drive Stick - ‎‎SSD-PUT1.0U3B

I always like the Buffalos product, especially their quality. Could make this Looks better by using metal instead of plastic?

Let me start by saying that for the price I paid, I was whole heartedly expecting this thing to be horrible, but I was wrong. I am so glad I gave this seemingly no name brand a try, as this is better than 98% of the USB drives available by known brand names. I cringed when I plugged it into my computer not knowing what to expect, and once recognized, drivers installed and it opened a new window I was delighted to find it has a full usable 1.81TB of storage space (in one contiguous block). I then proceeded to back up all of my data between 9 of my computers, and the slowest data write speed was 26MBPS, however it was on an old laptop computer that was dying, and I was barley able to boot it into safe mode to recover data; on my hp elite desk mini, I plugged it into a USB 3.0 port and started downloading data, about 500 GB of data and it only took about 3 min to transfer, it peaked at .99GBPS but averaged 600MBPS. BLOWN AWAY! HIGH QUALITY! GO BUFFALO! If your reading this review and still questioning if you should buy this because of the brand name, let me give you some good advice, coming from the IT guy for a company. BUY IT YOU GOOF! In my opinion this is the best value for USB storage on amazon.

If speed is something that you need I would say its still pretty good but doesnt go the speed advertised. Its slower but it still does the job and is very easy to carry with you on the go. Would still recommend for the price but if speed is what your looking for there are better SSDs but this one is good for the price its at.

Its very good, I mean whats there to really talk or say about a Hard drive that works just fine, right? Well, it gets a little Hot and I dont know if it should be doing that, but that aside, its perfectly fine!

I have a large collection of music and was tired of carrying 2 hard drives. Reliable and pretty fast.

This SSD is so great and easy to use! Its lightweight and size is perfect.

I needed something to backup my important files, and I found it in this device. Its a little more storage than I needed but I figured Id never run out. It does run slightly warm to the touch but after you unplug it this subsides quickly. Altogether, it works. Nothing more to say.

I barely used it, I had used it for some file storage between devices, and had formatted it a few times going from NTFS to FAT32, to ext4. But now it just doesnt work at all. My workstation detects it. and recognizes it as a storage device that is 500gb, but I cant mount it, or reformat it. I could tell it was on its way out when my write speed absolutely hit the floor when writing files to it. At best it was doing 19mb/s, and at worst it was stalled out in the single digit kb/s range. Honestly not worth the money, since you can get Microcenter USB sticks for super cheap, and theyre just as effective. Really disappointed with this little guy, since it was super promising.

Arrived in working order. But the transfer speed seems ancient. Im currently transferring about 60gb to it, and its going to take 30 minutes, at 35-40 MB/s. Fair warning. Still happy with the sale price, though.

I have used Buffalo NAS drives for years without any issues. Needed ssd storage for flac files for my vehicle sound system. This drive is bullet proof so far. I have thousands of songs and still have boatloads of storage. Even got it on a flash sale for cheap.
