Review: Brilliant !! - The fastest drive I have ever used ! And the space of 4TB is ample to work out of and store at the same time ! Just brilliant! Review: Once there's more than 1.5 TB on the Drive it slows to a trickle... Has nothing to do with thermal, but for some reason on multiple computers and different versions of OS it slows to 50mbps write speed. ## Features - Fantom Drives eXtreme Thunderbolt 3 external solid state drive has blazing fast read speed of over 2800MB/s and write speed of over 2300MB/s - eXtreme SSD is backward compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C at 1050MB/s read and write - eXtreme portable SSD is compact yet built like a tank with high-quality aluminum.

And the space of 4TB is ample to work out of and store at the same time ! Just brilliant! ### ⭐ Review *by B***B on 1 May 2024* Once there's more than 1.5 TB on the Drive it slows to a trickle... Has nothing to do with thermal, but for some reason on multiple computers and different versions of OS it slows to 50mbps write speed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***H on 14 January 2024* UPDATE I reformatted the drive as APFS encrypted and saw ~4.8% drop in write speed to 2439-2446 MB/s. Read stayed in the low 2500s. Still blazing and now more secure. I also picked up a Maxonar Thunderbolt 4 half-meter cable for something a little longer. The included cable is labeled as Thunderbolt 3. There is no noticeable speed difference between them. ORIGINAL REVIEW I got the 4TB non-TLC with the 3k speed and it's delivering about 3x the write and 4x the read speed of my Samsung T7 of the same capacity, which is basically a USB 3.2 speed drive, not Thunderbolt. This is about 4 ounces heavier than the T7, with a solid feeling metal case vs. the T7's rubberized case,. It's a thicc little drive that's a smidger taller, wider, and thicker than the T7. I tested it against the internal drive in a 2 month old MacBook Pro M3 (16") and a 3-year-old desktop PC gaming rig. While it got blown out of the water by the MBP's internal drive which was 2-3x faster in each measure, it was 80% as fast on write and almost double on read compared to the desktop with NVME. When you see people claiming they sped up an old, slow machine by using some variant of this as a boot drive, I'd bet they're telling the truth. It's fast enough to power a number of low-to-mid-range laptops or even desktops if they have USB 4 or Thunderbolt 4. Obviously I just picked this up and I'm in a honeymoon phase. We'll have to see how durable both the drive and its speeds are. But I am predicting I am not going to have storage anxiety with my MBP for a while. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fantom Drives Extreme 2TB External SSD - 2800MB/s, Thunderbolt 3 and 4, USB Type-C, Aluminum, 3D NAND TLC, TB3X-2300N2TB - OWC 28-Inch Thunderbolt 4 and USB-C Cable with 40 GBPS Data Transfer, 240W Power Charging and 8K Video Capability (Black) - Cable Matters [Intel Certified] 40Gbps Thunderbolt 4 Cable 3.3ft with 8K Video and 240W Charging - 1m, Compatible with USB4, Thunderbolt 3 Cable and USB-C --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/339723047-fantom-drives-extreme-2tb-external-ssd-2800mb-s-thunderbolt-3](https://www.desertcart.it/products/339723047-fantom-drives-extreme-2tb-external-ssd-2800mb-s-thunderbolt-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
