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

Edit: 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.

Product came fast and met all my needs

Ive 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.

Nothing to complain about this is a really great drive for the money

Comes with a c-port and USB3 port cable, which is useful. I backed up my computers 1TB internal drive onto it and it didnt get very hot and was reasonably fast. It seems to be well made.

Use it with my Xbox. Works great. Games load up fast only thing is it seems to always stay on even when the Xbox is a off. No issues with it so far.

One of the best Ass’d ever for me

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.

One of SPs hard drives was given to me with my first ever camera. Now its the only brand I buy. It may be a tad slower than some of the big branded hard drives out there, but Im working in an industry that needs hours/days for turnaround, not minutes, so it works perfectly fine. Add in the great price point (especially when you can catch it on sale) and its a no-brainer for me. Would 10/10 recommend to a friend!

As long as this doesnt fail (and it shouldnt since thats the point of a SSD), I only need to download steam games once ever. New computer? Cool, all the games are already good to go.
