Great for Running Linux on Old PCs Without Touching Internal Drives
I bought this external SSD mainly to test and run Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon on older legacy computers, and it worked great for that purpose. The system runs smoothly straight from the drive, and performance is surprisingly good for external storage. What I really like is that I can use it without touching or modifying the internal hard drive of the PC. That made it perfect for testing Linux safely while keeping the original system intact. It’s basically a plug-and-play way to breathe new life into older machines. The drive itself is portable and fast enough for everyday use in this kind of setup. If you’re experimenting with Linux or want a non-invasive way to run an OS on older hardware, this is a great option. Very happy with this purchase.

GREAT
Purchases the 500GB in February and I just now ran out. It’s so compact and I love that it was so easy to store. Never once lost my data on it. Very reliable.

Great SSD external hard drive in a tiny package!!!
This SSK 1TB external hard drive has a very fast transfer rate. It was a great price also. It was easily compatible to my MAC and the storage capacity was perfect since I do use icloud for backup. I needed to backup to an external drive before upgrading to a new OS and this little hard drive did the trick in just a few minutes. It will also encrypt your data if you need it to. Great device.

Build is ok, speed is good and as advertised, overall a good product.
So far the speeds on this device is good, of course changing the format from exfat too NTFS because there was no Max device mostly windows 10/11 computers and it would work much faster and such while gaming, and once that was done taking of course a long time to format like 4+ 5+ Hour's? Since I didn't want to use quick formatting for some reason. And I did see a slight opening on one of the aluminum pieces on the very edges which is a slight build quality problem, but the product works just fine, speeds are just as expected and gaming seems fine on the SSD...... PS on the side that's slightly peeking open for some reason where I could see the blue light coming out of from the one of the main aluminum pieces, it still works good for heat distribution to dissipate.. Also other key notes besides the negatives and neutrals, good weight, good portability, ok formatting but it does take a long time if you do the longer formatting options, so I do recommend waiting it out if you need too... Overall I would say this is a overall good product for what it needs, like for simple and nice gaming, or general file transfers, stuff like that should be fine especially with Steam games and such. Anyways I hope this review was even at the least, slightly helpful and if not that's completely fine we all have are own opinions. Hope y'all have a good day and that's all.. PS the seems on the aluminum that meets the plastic or if most if not all the parts are plastic then I am not too sure feels like aluminum for the main big front plates and backplates of it with the outer smaller sides being plastic but regardless the seems on it is not actually that bad as I first thought and I re-checked, I see a little bit of blue light coming out not where is should but it's actually still intact decently.....

Works as intended
I use this for games, works well. Loads content fast. Takes a bit longer than usual to install games but worth it for the external library. Also, have noticed an issue with some games when the card is disconnected while playing and the game files become corrupted and need to be reinstalled, however that might be user error. Overall, works as advertised.

久々に良い買い物でした
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 är bra och konstig
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.

Surprisingly Small
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.
