SSK 2TB Portable SSD External Solid State Hard Drive USB3.2 Gen2x2 20Gbps

Never worked the item was defective. Dont buy it!

I love this product so far. I just received it today, so I will come back and update if anything changes. It's aul hard drive. I bought it for my MacBook Air, which has only 8GB of RAM. I need to run a Virtual Practicum app for my Forensic Nursing Practicum. First off, it fits in the palm of your hand and comes with two thick C-type connection cables. I installed and launched my very large practicum app with no issues. Also, I was able to run the app for 2 hours (the 1st full assessment) without issue. Other reviewers stated it gets a little hot, which is my only complaint. However, it did not affect performance, and it cooled down within seconds once I ejected it. I absolutely love it. I decided on 2TB of storage. I cleared my entire desktop of the 12+ PowerPoint presentations, plus the hundreds of papers and discussion posts I wanted to save from my MSN Forensic Nursing program. Next, I will attach it to my iPhone 17 and transfer the photos from my phone to it. I wish I had purchased this much sooner. I am looking for a small case for it. It would be nice if the company could create one or even bundle a compatible case for it. Definitely buy this one. It's super small and super fast (plug-and-play).

I needed something cheap (especially now) in order to supplement my drive on my Macs, and this was a good buy, small, super light weight, I had no problems with compatibility on my Mac no issues with installation, getting it configured, and I tested its performance by switching over my 1 TB external drive (with no storage left) over to this one that has 2 TB and no problems there! I see some of the reviews regarding it getting “heat” but it does get warm but it doesn’t get too hot and it doesn’t stay that way, it does cool down, that’s why I didn’t give it 5 stars but overall its good

I bought this because I needed a newer and fast hard drive and also something for editing. In one of the pictures it states that you can use this to edit directly from. You can. The issues that I am finding is that this thing overheats very quickly and ironically will freeze until it's cool enough to work again. I saw someone mention that they use an ce pack on it, I personally find that a little ridiculous that you would even need to do that but to each their own. It's good for capturing videos and things like that for sure. But it does get very very hot and will stop working. For me and my editing and things like that this is not good. For a portable capturing device, this is great. So I may keep this one for capturing and I am definitely getting a different one for editing, i just wish that it could have been one in the same

Really happy with this little SSD. It’s small and compact, so it’s easy to carry around and doesn’t take up any space in my bag. The speed is excellent — transfers are quick and smooth whether I’m using it with my laptop or phone. It does get a little warm if you’re using it extensively, but that’s to be expected with something this size and performance level. Overall, it’s reliable, lightweight, and works exactly as advertised. Definitely a solid buy if you need fast, portable storage.

I have mixed feelings. First, this thing is absolutely tiny, although it has some heft and there is a lot of electronics stuffed in there. Seems to be built strong, but it's mostly metal and very hard. Maybe should have a shock resistant coating or cover. It does work but I don't quite know what to say about performance. I have a 2022 MacBook Pro with the M2-Pro processor. My computer has 3 USB-C ports, all of which are also Firewire 4.0 enabled. Using the short USB-C cable that came with the device and using the Black Magic disk throughput program, I get a maximum write speed of 925 mbps (advertised on Amazon to get up to 2000 mbps). I have an older SanDisk 2TB SSD that under the same setup gets about 640 mbps (rated at 1000 mbps). I bought an expensive specific Firwire cable, although it is 18 in long, and the throughput for the SSK was the same at 925 mbps, while the San Disk dropped slightly to 525 mbps. I'm probably OK with the discrepancy, because even at slightly short of 1000 mbps, the SSK drive was still cheaper than anything else in that size factor at the 1000 mbps level, and it's still about 35-40% faster than the San Disk. I just wish I knew why neither of them perform up to their stated specs. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Now is probably a terrible time to be writing a review since I've only had it for a week. It's supposed to be twice as fast as the WD ssd devices I already had and it probably is but it can only be as fast as the the drive that the data is being transferred to or from. Keeping that limitation in mind it's a great little unit and with the Lenovo laptop I used it on it has performed flawlessly.

Small and fits in the palm of your hand. Comes with a USB c to usb c cable , as well as a USB c to USB cabel. Its plug and play and transfers are fast. No problems so far.
