> 3 dayGood R/W speed with USB 3! only thing is it was bigger than expected and the USB C port seems a little weak. But so far its doing fine, will have to see how it stands the test of time and use!

> 3 dayIts 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.

> 3 dayUsing 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.

Greater than one weekThis enclosure worked to its spec. I got a bit less than 1000 MB/s R/W throughput from it. However, it has some weird designs to achieve its smaller size. First, it uses friction to hold down 2280 SSDs, although it has rubber holders for other sizes. Second, its height can barely fits a thin SSD. I cannot fit a SSD with a thin piece of heat spreader into it at all.

> 3 dayIve 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.
