SSK 128GB Dual USB C Flash Drive,2-in-1 Type C+ USB A 3.2 Gen2 Solid State Thumb Drive,Speed Up to 550MB/s Memory Stick Data Storage for iPhone 15,Thunderbolt 3, Android Phone,Tablet,Laptop

So far I have nothing but good things to say about this drive! It's crazy fast. I love having both USB-C and USB-A options. The metal housing looks great and feels incredibly well built. Event the pouch (which I didn't think I would care about) is great quality and offers great protection against scratches for when you have to throw it into a laptop bag to use on the go. In short, it's faster speed, better quality, and lower price than I have seen on anything else out there.

This product works amazing and is SUPER FAST! I plugged it in to my iPhone and saved 140 pictures in a matter of seconds. No setup required at all! Even fit in iPhone with case on. The item didn’t need to be formatted, and was compatible with all my Apple products (iPhone, iPad, and MacBook). Well made, metal casing, and leather keychain holder with tight snap cover. Well worth the price! I will likely buy another for myself and one for my wife!

Works great, can attach to phone and use as storage Works great, purchased new phone for wife and she wanted to move all her photos and videos to computer storage and nice fast drive, really like it has type C on one end and type A on others if someone has older computer without type C ports, don't have to carry around adapter. Almost as fast as an internal M.2 SATA SSD ( WD blue 500gig from 2017) and saturated normal mechanical SATA drive. The capacity of 512 gig is impressive for the price, a few of the reasons I purchased this over others ir this showed transfer rate, built in cover for the type c end, capacity , aluminum case and cost. Nice keyring carry case easy to carry around if you want to carry software for troubleshooting systems. Nice solid aluminum case don't have to worry about breaking if sat on or dropping. Recommend this if you want a USBC drive with more space than most cellphones and due to the removal of the SD card in most phones, this is a great option if you are traveling and bringing music and/or movies to be played on phone.

I'm a bit of a luddite when it comes to icloud and google photos - I much prefer the old, manual method of backing up files, with a cable, on to a hard drive. I was having huge issues with my iphone 16 showing up on my PC, the device simply does not appear in Device manager no way no how. Tried many cables and many computers. Maybe it's a setting in the phone. Regardless; It occurred to me these phones have USB-C and these "flash drives" exist. I read in a few places you can use them to transfer photos, and that was exactly my plan. It has fantastic build quality, works great right out of the box, and helped me complete my mission (of backing up photos) super quickly and painlessly through the Files app. I recommend this method to anyone.

Solid feel, fast data transfer, upload and download. It gets too hot, causes concerns about possibility of data loss or corruption. Digital micro circuits are very vulnerable to heat

Tired of those average flash drives... Yes! The ones with limited space and take forever to transfer all of your files? Say no more! With its 128GB to 1TB capacity and USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, which offers read and write rates of up to 460MB and 360MB, respectively, the SSK External Flash Drive completely alters that. It's ideal for on-the-go use because it can be slipped into your pocket or attached to your key chain. This gadget is incredibly versatile, making it ideal for storing and playing documents, videos, and images in one location. Overall, this should provide consistent performance, while some people may discover different to comparable results. Several people have mentioned that this drive becomes hot, but exactly how toasty does it get? In the last two images, I recorded the base temperature 5 minutes after first plugging it in, which was 32°C. Then, I thought it wouldn't have made sense to take recordings of the tempture during the first test, so I ran two full tests with 9 runs per each SEQ (SEQUNTIAL) and RND (RANDOM) read/write of the 16 GB as a drive burner, each test taking about 10 minutes. During the second test, I recorded the temperature at 51°C which was its peak but hovering more around 50°C. However, in just a matter of one to two minutes its already cool due to its Zinc alloy outer coating. If your worried about the dual USB A and C ends not having the same speeds, have no worries! I ran both ends into the back end of my B450-F Gaming Motherboard which has USB A and C 10Gbps ports. The speeds have about 1% deviation in speeds if none at all since these tests aren't perfect, meaning the storage chips are slower than the interface so for complexity reasons in this review I've chosen to keep it simple. For anyone in search of a reliable pocket-sized device that offers both high speeds and large storage capacity, this is definitely the one to consider. Its performance is unmatched, providing fast data transfers and handling demanding tasks with ease. Whether you're backing up large files, running high-capacity tests, or need quick access to your data on the go, this device delivers consistently. There are virtually no alternatives on the market that offer the same combination of speed, durability, and storage in such a compact form. It's a game-changer for those who need portable, high-performance storage.

This small external SSD works well for a portable operating system. After downloading Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ISO, i installed it using Rufus. Booting to that drive worked flawlessly, as fast as an internal SSD (~20 seconds total), on the PC on which the OS was written, and it also works well in general on other PC's (though drivers specific to one machine might not always work on another, I've found no major issue, so far). The SSD also functions for high speed data transfer via "sneaker net", and throughput might rival that of a LAN. Overall, I fell it's a good value, and I regret, a bit, accumulating slower flash USB drives.

I just bought two USB gen 2 sticks from different vendors. This one claimed to be reading at speeds of 550 MB/sec, and I was leery. So many items never live up to their own hype. Well I have a slick tool now to measure such things, and this **delivered**. I am using EaseUS DiskMark which is part of their Partition Master Professional app. Sure enough it slightly *exceeded!!!* 550 MB on Sequential Read. For those newer to drive speeds in general, Sequential Read is the fastest (and so the metric companies claim), followed by slowing Random Read, Sequential write, and Random write (writing is just slower). Poor quality sticks often have a decent Read speed, that they use to market it, but terrible write speeds. This stick delivered! Its worst stat, random write, had only dropped to around 400 MB/sec which is an outstanding number and lack of the usual degradation in speed. Top marks. But the stick itself is a joy, almost space age. This stick has the feel you could whack it with a hammer all day. Ive had metal thumb drives before but the aluminum never felt sturdy. whatever alloy this is is tough as nails! In the photo, the little flip-back bar protecting the USB-C port looks pretty tiny - I assure you its no joke and *absolutely* will protect the port. Same goes for the other end and the USB-A connector cap - blast proof! The pouch for a keychain it comes with is also of high quality with a focus on durability, both in the leather-ish material, and especially the ring itself - its not going anywhere. I would have written this review just for my happiness with its speed, but the physical durability really puts it into a different category. At this price point there is just no reason to buy a cheap plastic thumb drive, and one where youre unsure of how badly it will degrade (if it even meets) its listed speed. This delivers on all fronts and is so robust it will last a lifetime. Slap it on that key chain, it can handle the abuse. drop it on the floor, stomp on it, no effect (im not joking). Absolute GEM of high quality mixed with durability and speed. This brand is now up there with Kingston and Samsung in my book (which is a long list of buying cheap disappointments)
