SSK 1TB USB Drive,External SSD Fast 550MB/s 2-in-1 Dual-Drive Type C+ A USB3.2 Gen2 Solid State ThumbDrive SSD-Stick for iPhone 15/16/PS4/Android Phone/Tablet/Windows/Mac

I have three of these now, a 512GB and two 1TB units. They're all great. Very fast, very well made, but they do get hot. The metal enclosure does a good job of shedding the heat from the chips but it does get hot to the touch especially on writes. It's common to see sustained reads and writes 400+ MBPS and will absolutely hit the advertised speeds for bursts especially with big files. (I have gotten 900+ MBPS on read occasionally with the smaller drive with large files on USBC). It doesn't suffer a dram cache limit like some other drives )or I haven't gotten it to show any sign of that with sustained speeds across the whole transfer).This drive compares favorably to the best Samsung SSDs I have and thats the highest praise I have.

Honnêtement je ne savais pas qu’il existait une clé USB aussi rapide et avec de telle capacité.Les transferts se font rapidement ( vidéos, photos, musiques ou autres).Je suis très satisfait de mon achat.

Ok, this is going to read like an advertisement, but I have never been happy about buying a USB SSD before. I will be honest, I bought this USB SSD cause it was low price, was fast and had USB-A and USB-C connector. I honestly didn't give much thought to the device, until I opened up the Amazon delivery package, felt and examined the device. I was impressed immediately and was surprised at its build quality, which I didn't expect. I thought it would be the run of the mill SSD USB cheap plastic device, I didn't know and didn't read that it was built out of High Grade Zinc alloy housing. If you look at the device it looks impressive, it doesn't look cheap and when you hold it in your hand, feel it and touch it it oozes quality. The weight is just enough to let you know it is there, it is a nice weight. Taking the cover off of the USB-A side has a nice friction pull, pulling it off and putting it on, there is no cheap plastic ridge click feeling but a smooth friction action putting the USB-A cover on and off. The USB-C protective cover is a pleasure to operate, again oozing a quality type feel and the markings on this SSD USB device are nice and will not wear with time. I operated this USB device with my PC which has a USB-A port and with my Samsung phone which has a USB-C port, in both cases it operated smoothly and quickly with no issues. On top of this, it came with a very nice leather-built pouch with a key chain holder. This is one of the issues of USB drives, you put it down somewhere and you forget where you put it, the nice leather pouch with key chain means one will always know where the USB device is. I highly recommend this USB SSD device, it is apparent that SSK designers put in a lot of thought into this device from a look, feel, handling, mechanical protection, ease of portability as well as a lot of storage and quick speed as well as port flexibility, having both USB-A and USB-C. I would never think I would write a review about a USB device since all the previous one's I bought were cheap plastic and you couldn't put them on your key chain. But this USB device is nice/fun to handle, look at, store and operate........very nice product.

The item works very good but this is my exchange one. the first, after uploaded over 80% the transfer dramatically slow down. The new 1Tb SSD Stick works perfect

First impressions of this SSK external storage device are very good. I have had it for less than a day, so I can’t speak to durability or longevity.The device has connectors for a traditional USB port and the more modern USB-C ports. I found it tricky to rotate the cover to expose the part that plugs into a USB-C port. I have destroyed many such parts in the past, so I try to be extra careful. The other end is a traditional USB plug with a cover that can be pulled off. The instructions advise against using cable adapters. This might be an issue if your device has a Lightning connection.I bought the SSK drive to do backups. I use Carbon Copy Cloner, which creates a copy of the MacBook Pro’s disk drive onto the backup media. After I plugged the one-terabyte SSK drive into my 2019 MacBook Pro, the drive almost immediately showed up on the desktop. The CCC program recommended re-formatting the SSK drive. I used Apple’s Disk Utility program to erase and format the SSK drive for a Mac. (Disk Utility comes with all Mac computers.)I set up CCC for a backup. I expected it to take a long time because my hard drive has 664 gigs on its 1TB drive. The backup took 56 minutes. Subsequent backups will take less time because CCC will need only to copy new and changed files.The only problem was that the MacBook Pro lost the connection with the SSK drive. I have had this problem with other external drives, so I do not think the SSK drive was the problem.To fix this, I ejected the SSK drive. After its icon disappeared from the desktop, I removed the SKK drive and re-inserted it into a different USB-C port. I resumed the backup and it finished with no further problems. I do not know if putting the SSK drive into a different port solved the problem.As an added bonus, the SSK drive comes with a nice case that can be put on a keychain.So, I would say so far, so good. Again, the manufacturer recommends against using cable adapters or multi-port adapters. So, make sure your computer has one of the two ports that the SSK drive fits.
