> 24 hourI needed space and I could have bought 6-8TB for the price of a 1 TB SSD. But I decided on a SSD because Im tired of mechanical drives. Usually in electronics, if it works for 30 + days, it will last 5 years, But Hds are touchy and often fail without mercy. So, a 1 TB at $125 was the way to go. If it works for a month, it will be reliable for a long time. This one is small, USB-C power/data cable in front (the only thing I dont like about it), has a sleep mode but is plenty fast reading and writing. My PC is only 3.0, but very fast. But I like it so much, Im considering another one now. Good Luck

> 24 hourWhen I looked at the reviews, I thought this was gonna be really fast. It turns out the first two minutes were extremely fast. After 30 minutes of using the hard drive, it was useless and only got up to 200 Mb per second. I was extremely disappointed, thinking this was gonna be the right one. I’m here making this review so other people don’t make the same mistake I did. This hard drive is cheap and a waste of money. I mean it does work, but it is very slow and I thought this was an SDD hard drive, which it seems to not be working like one. Thank you for reading my review have a good day/night.

> 24 hourSteer clear of this bargain. After formatting it for my Mac, which failed the first attempt, I ran a Disk Sped Test. The read results are OK, but this disk wont consistently write even 10MB/s despite the claimed speeds of 50x that number! On repeated tests the drive gets progressively slower, down to under 2 MB/s. It is completely useless for any photo or video editing, or even a simple backup of my hard drive. I should have spent the extra $30 to get the 1TB drive from Samsung or SanDisk.

> 24 hourIts thin, feels solid, black aluminum skin and comes with USB/USBC and USBC/USBC short cables. I like short cables as it reduces transmit times. I dont have data on read/write, but it seems very speedy. So much better than a plate drive! Omg! I am very happy, would recommend to anyone.

> 24 hourEdit: After some time I have to change my opinion of this drive. It doesnt support TRIM over USB, and write performance absolutely tanks when copying a large amount of large files (what you would use a 1TB external drive for). Confirmed this is unique to this unit as my Samsung External both supports TRIM and has much better write speed. Found no workarounds to these issues so Ive stopped using this drive. What a shame. It arrived quickly and was packaged nicely. Minimal instructions, just a manual. Came pre-formatted in FAT32, which means you cant have files over 4GB so I will have to format it to ex-FAT or NTFS. Nice heft to it, weighty and glad to hear its military shock/drop test certified, as Im using it as an external and backup drive.

> 24 hourIm completely new to external storage for gaming devices, but came across an article regarding improving gaming speed. Ive used them on PC before, so I gave it a shot. Couldnt be more satisfied with how easy and effective it is. I rarely review, however my hope is that someone new to the product will be able to ease their possible skepticism and purchase with confidence. My system is a PS4 slim, but Ive heard its just as easy to set up and use on others as well.

> 24 hourUsing Silicon Powers rugged 1Tb external hard drive on Windows 11, USB 3.2 Gen1, with type A included cable. Accessing a Word, PDF, JPEG, any folder etc. is as fast as accessing it on your C drive. No exaggeration with that statement. Im totally impressed. The description says it comes formatted FAT32. Mine came formatted NTSF which is what I would have changed it to had it come FAT32.
