> 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 hourIve only had this 1 TB model for a week or so. I copied several folders ranging in size from 210 GB to 2 Gb to the SSD. Smaller copies were lightning fast as expected. Larger copies (200 Gb) started fast, first 5 GB in about 5 seconds showing estimated copy time of 10 minutes, but estimated copy time quickly climbed up to 2 hours as copy speed fell off to observed 0.01 GB/sec or slower. (Im working with a MacBook Pro, 2.9 GHz 6-core i9 processor, 32 GB ram, 2 TB SSD.) Final copy time for 200 GB was 1:40 hours. I repeated this test with similar results. Next I copied the same 200 GB folder to a 4 TB Seagate portable HDD - copy time was 21 minutes. (FWIW, the HDD copy required a USB-C to USB-A adapter, the SSD copy was direct connected using the 12 cable supplied with the SSD.) Im afraid this SSD will be returned.

> 24 hourIts been about a year and this has worked out great. I couldnt beat the price it. I work it fairly hard as all my games run from this and it works well. For my purposes, I would recommend it 100%. Very compact, silent and while I havent speed tested it, its fast enough for what I need.

> 24 hourI was badly disappointed my this device. It plain does not work. On two different computers. Not sure why. It might be the device wont work when connected using a USB extension cable. My memory card readers and jump drives work just fine, so Im not sure whats wrong.

> 24 hourRugged Portable External SSD looks good, but when I had about 300 GB the SDD started to work to write and read very slowly....in that case it is better to use a regular HHD.

> 24 hourI wanted a fast, relatively large sized, and portable drive to take with me for MBP time machine backups. This drive was priced competitively, and seems to work really well for my purposes.

> 24 hourI got an average of 1GB read and 750 write on a 3.2 gen2 hub. Went to work and expecting a long transfer was done in 5sec. If the price was $50, Id roll a nas with them.

> 24 hourI would not recommend this SSD. It feels really cheap but I dont care so much about that if it works. Unfortunately, the write speed would vary wildly from around 400 Mb/s then slow down to 6 Mb/s when running a speed test on it. When actually writing files, it would start up quickly, then the data numbers seemed to freeze. It would eventually copy all of the data but the estimated time in Mac OS would start at 15 min for 80ish GB folder, then go up to over an hour. It actually took about an hour. It is just not consistent enough for me.

> 24 hourUsed it as an external drive for my Xbox. Ran great for almost a year. Games ran smoother and loaded faster. Then suddenly games wouldnt load from it anymore. Tried reformatting and reinstalling the games to it but the drive would invariably crap out again. Will replace with something else.
