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.

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.

I tore the package open in a big hurry to do a data dump that was long overdue and found myself astounded, absolutely AMAZED, at the speed of this USB Drive. The fit: Perfect. Portable: Yes, and it comes with a little storage case. Durable: Yes, this has a nice heavy duty weight and feel to it. Security: Yes, password protected at set up. Now, the speed: Just...WOW. 503GB transferred in just over 10 minutes. The FASTEST solid state drive I have ever owned and I will never go back to another. Note: Performance may vary slightly due to your usage conditions. Works with USB C and USB A devices, and each end of the drive has an easy on/easy off, (but not loose) cover for protection. HIGH SPEED, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.!

I waited to write this review until I had used this drive for several months. I regularly use a flash drive for both backup and syncing of my several computers. Routinely I would access a drive 2 to 6 times a day and carry it my pocket most everywhere I go. Most modern flash drives work pretty well for my purposes except they tend to physically fail while they are still functional electronically. I need both type usb a and usb c connectors. Many drives have some kind of swivel or slider mechanism to make this work, and every such drive I have tried has physically failed in one way or another-- won't lock in position, swivel becomes hopelessly loose etc. With this drive there is no slider to wear out. You could lose the usb a cap, but it is slightly magnetic and has never come off in my pocket. The usb c cover is built into the drive and pivots open. So far it seems to be holding up well. The drive is made of metal, feels solid, and moves large files quickly. You can get faster ssds, but this is quite fast and pocketable. It worked just fine on Windows, Mac, and Android. No cord necessary. I got 1 tb for sixty five dollars. That's a good price. I recommend it with no reservations.

Sleek, solid, and a fine alternative to the forced "Cloud" storage mechanisms baked into too many proprietary OS apps nowadays; The case was a nice touch, as well. If your device motherboard doesn't support expansion options or compatability, this can be a decently affordable solution to safely prevent data corruption until you have a more modern device. The only reason I gave it Four stars is due to its oddly frustratingly slow transfer rate, and alarmingly high internal heat when plugged into a phone.

Mind blowingly fast transfers. I put files on this and I have to check if they are on because it takes literally no time to transfer. It's just there instantly. Very sturdy, very quality build and I've never had an issue. Not one of those things where you unbox it and it's plasticky and flimsy.It's all metal and rubber construction. Caps fit well, aren't falling off, or rattling around. No files dropped or corrupted. Heats up, but never slows down or fails because of this. Highly recommend! I'm including a picture of it plugged into my dusty computer so you know I'm not an influencer who was paid to say this.

Excellent SSD ! Very compact and having dual connections makes this very versatile. Transfer speeds are great and the minimalist design with the leather case included makes this very portabvle !

Great product does what it's supposed to do. Love the fact that it has USB and USBC.

Es una memoria USB muy práctica con una capacidad poco común, 1 TB. Muy fácil de usar y fácil de llevar ya que incluye una funda tipo llavero. Excelente calidad y diseño.

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.

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

Great usb stick works well.

Solid metal construction and seems to work well. Wanted to use with my older TV USB port, but had to reformat it to NTFS first - came with exFAT which was not recognized by my TV. Then it worked. Not sure why it heats up fairly quickly and becomes quite warm, (my other 500 GB thumb drive doesn't do that). Perhaps the metal case allows for heat dissipation?
