Silicon Power 2TB Rugged Portable External SSD USB 3.2 Gen 2 (USB3.2) with USB-C to USB-C/USB-A Cables, Ideal for PC, Mac, Xbox and PS4, PS5 Bolt B75 Pro

It’s well built and compact. Wish it was a tad faster read and write for an SSD, but other than that it’s a solid buy.

I bought this product in November of 2019, only came back becuase I am building my own Gaming PC and I plan to get a TLC internal SSD and I wanted to check what kind this one was. With that said this particular SDD I have had for 2 years. I have stored absolutely everything on it. I am a Content Creator and Full Time student so I have 7+ months of recorded streams, Games, 2 years worth of all my school work + other miscellaneous large files I use for video editing. This external SSD has held up great and I still have 178 GB left on it. It also doesnt get warm at all, even while gaming, I have it right next to the vent for my laptop which warms it up as well and it still runs flawlessly. In general Im not playing most things at high settings with an MX150 and an intel core i5 8250u to put things into perspective but Im confident that whatever I throw at it.. it will do fine. I have also dropped it about 3 - 5 times from desk height onto a wooden floor (bouncing off of things before it hit the ground) - even with that no data loss and it still runs great. 100% Recommend especially for students.. as I carried this in my backpack or bag and didnt have to worry about the disaster that happened to my previous external hard drive when I dropped it ONCE and lost everything in the middle of the quarter :(.

The ridges on the cover make it hard to secure to anything. I usually use velcro to secure the drive to the laptop so I am not dropping it constantly. But this one wont stick because it is not a flat surface. Also, the cables are VERY short so it limits where the drive can rest while you are working.

My daughter bought this for me and I use it to back up my files. I used this to back up 458GB of data, when first plug in, it says will take 3 hours to back up, then became 6 hours, then became 1 day. Finally took 8.5 hours to finish the back up. I then used Seagate 2TB HDD drive, Same computer, same data, same day, same usb port, it took 4 hours to back up the exactly same data. So far the device works fine. It is a SSD, but slower than HDD. I am not sure why. It looks fine, lighter than my HDD, but slightly bigger. I can only give 2 stars at this time.

Steer 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.

Easy to implement in use. Very happy with it

Its amazingly fast and its durable... I really like this product

This thing is solid. I reformatted it before use for my Mac and the transfer speeds are great. I’ve no complaints so far.
