CalDigit Tuff Nano Plus 2TB - Compact Rugged IP67 USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 10Gb/s External NVME SSD, Compatible with Thunderbolt 4 Mac and PC, Up to 1055MB/s (2TB Nano Plus, Royal Blue)

Used it once for Backups purposes. Works as advertised.

Have the Surface pro X device with 128 gig so this came in handy after researching how to upgrade the surface and this drive was recommended to have the exact ssd drive inside and what a difference it made surface has more space more faster running Windows 11 what a great deal.

Small but mighty doesn’t get too hot when I’m rendering stuff at Photoshop surprisingly fast thickness about the size of a Pack of gum.

I bought this for the SSD inside! Opened it up, removed the SSD, and installed it in a Surface Laptop 3. $200 vs $800 that Microsoft charges for a 1TB. This drive was exactly what I needed.

light weight accurate speed

im from those who really pay attention to the details, and when i say so, is because on the advertisement of the product page here on amazon, the manufacture show a read/write performance that doesnt show in reality. they claim to have 900mb/writing rate, which is not true. That the main reason why i do not give it 5 stars. i do currently have a USB C 3.2 built in, on my x570 motherboard, with ryzen 7 3800x processor, with two SSD high speed M.2. gen 4 drive. the maximum write speed was 550mb/s. nothing more. from my ssd m.2. drive. and if you copy from any mechanical drive, obviously the bandwidth will be determine by the bottleneck of the mechanical drive, down to 123mb/s

This drive was purchased to run on both macOS 11.x and Windows 10, running through a variety of synthetic benchmarks and real-world tests like Adobe Premiere footage / previews drive, and others. While the design is solid and I dont have doubts about its rugged aspects, the performance of this drive is dissappointing. For starters it doesnt get anywhere close to 10Gbps as a top read/write speeds. When brand new it consistently performed around 700 MB/s write (instead of ~ 1200) and 900 MB/s read. These are not bad by any means and certainly better than older USB drives, but not to the level expected based on whats advertised. Worse was after a few weeks use the drive started exhibiting very choppy write speeds where even with simple benchmarks the speeds randomly spike between really low numbers like 200 MB/s and somewhat higher around 500 MB/s. Drive has been tested with diagnostic utilities and shows as OK, and reformatted in different ways, but the issue persists. My opinion is that this drive will not reach the speeds most people will expect and will not hold up under heavy use very well. For occasional backups or office use its probably fine.

The external drive has performed perfectly with my iPad Pro 2020

Pretty good stuff

Working beyond my expectations on this product.
