Portable SSD 500GB External Solid State Drives, up to 1050MB/s USB C SSD External Hard Drive USB 3.2 Gen2 for iPhone 15/Pro, Windows, Mac, Android Phones and Tablets

After using the SSK 1TB Portable SSD for several weeks, I’m impressed by how much power is packed into such a small device - it’s roughly the size of two fingers. It moves my large files fast - it backs up my computer in minutes. It's a highly capable external drive!

Available for a Black Friday sale price of less than US$70, this external SSD hard drive was priced competitively, so I bought one for my new Tablo TV device to dramatically enhance its recording memory. Two obvious advantages of a SSD drive are speed and no need for external power. I might add that this drive was surprisingly small; no larger than a couple of my fingers. When I plugged it into my Tablo TV device it was immediately recognized with an offer to format it for use. Once that was done, the device showed the total of both its internal memory and this solid state drive. Since then, this drive has performed flawlessly and occupies just a tiny space next to my Tablo TV device as you can see in the accompanying photo.

So far so good, I have had it for a while now and no issues with connectivity or anything. The size is great, it's about the size of my palm. I stick it in a little sleeve on the back of my laptop, and that works out great.

Overall, this is a great SSD with ample space for the price. I would definitely recommend this for someone looking for an external portable HD that has a large amount of space which is great for holding any type of file. My main use for this HD was to hold music files I am transferring from an older HDD hard drive. Please see my list of pros and cons below. Pros: - Item is well constructed and has a quality feel to it. - Item is compact and has a key ring attachment making it easy for transportation. - Data transfer speeds are fast, making it easier to transfer larger files or a larger number of files at once. - Good price for a quality drive with ample space. Cons: I honestly don't have any cons at this time. The only possible con is that from what I believe, you can only format this drive as exfat and not ntfs.

Works well until it doesn't. Very small and decently fast data transfer rates. Purchased july 2024 and as of sept 2025 this ssd no longer works. This was used as a backup once per month, always ejected safely and stored in a desk. It now connects for a few seconds before ejecting itself. I'm unable to access the backed up data or run any disk repair on the ssd. The SSK site claims a 3 year warranty on SSD's, which after shipping back to them they sent a brand new ssd and paid for shipping. Hopefully this new one lasts longer...

I recently got the SSK SD500 Portable SSD (1TB) and honestly… it’s been a huge upgrade for storing my content. First off, the size is super compact — it literally fits in my hand and is perfect for traveling (especially for events like Coachella where I’m constantly filming 🎥). The design is simple but sleek, and it even has a little loop so you can attach it to a bag. What I love: • ⚡ Fast transfer speeds (up to ~1050MB/s) — moving videos/photos is way quicker than my old USB • 🔌 Type-C connection — works with my phone + laptop • 💾 1TB storage — perfect for content creators (no more “storage full” panic 😭) • 👜 Portable & lightweight — easy to carry everywhere What to note: • The cable is a bit short, so you’ll need to stay close to your device • You may need to format it depending on your device (especially phone use) Overall: If you’re a content creator or just need reliable storage for photos/videos, this is actually a really solid and affordable SSD option. It’s been making my content workflow way smoother. ⭐ Rating: 10/10

This is my first experience with an SSD external drive and I’m definitely impressed. I formatted it for my Mac and use it to edit videos off of. No lag issues, it works just like internal memory. Plus it’s much smaller than expected so it doesn’t take up any desk space

This is not a bad drive; it's pretty fast and very small — a nice size. However, I bought this drive so I would have something fast to dedicate to 4K video editing. The drive couldn't handle what I needed it for and would disconnect mid-edit in Premiere Pro. I tried many fixes, but it ultimately turned out to be a limitation of the drive itself. I purchased a more robust drive at twice the price that works flawlessly. The USB controllers on these less expensive drives often don't have the performance for edge case usage. I had to return this drive, but as a regular external SSD, it's fine for most things. I just wanted to let people who might be trying to use it for more rigorous tasks what my experience with it was.

5年ほど使用した日本製のHDが急に動かなくなったため、会社のIT部門（海外）にお勧めの製品を問合せて急遽取り寄せました。本当に届くのか少し不安でしたが、予定通りに届きました。また、実際使用してみて転送速度はその前のHDに比べて「早い！！」と感じました。説明書に日本語での説明はありませんでしたが、差し込むだけですので。持ち運べるコンパクトな作りなのに、容量も普段の業務には十分な大きさでした。

Den skriver och läser bra och fort,men nått konstigt är det för när jag lägger över bilder från datorn till disken så antingen ligger dom inte kvar sen dom är helt borta eller så är några kvar och resten finns inte med eller så blir det tomma bild filer. Mycket märkligt.

I've purchased this twice now because I was surprised at how small and compact it is. Very good product, best external SSD I've bought recently.

très petite taille / vitesse excellente pour moi (lecture de vidéos professionnelles). Ce que je voulais. Solidité à voir dans la durée

Prima werkt ook met Linux 🙂
