Review: PORTABLE SSD 1TB - VERY GOOD PRODUCT SMALL AND COMPACT
Review: Excellent value from a reputable manufacturer - Big enough to support multiple backups of all my data and small (tiny) enough to tuck into a drawer by my computer. Being solid state, it's silent. Runs flawlessly off my USB 3 port though (perhaps because of small file sizes) it seldom reaches the stated (up to) 800MB/s. It is fast enough to satisfy my needs.

- The handy attachment loop made of durable rubber helps you securely attach the external SSD in your pocket, backpack or to your belt loop. So your drive will not be lost

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Occasional connection issues.
*by K***R on 3 May 2025*

Decent product overall, but I've experienced occasional connection issues. It works fine most of the time, but it can be frustrating when it drops out unexpectedly. Still, it gets the job done when it’s working.
