## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little SSD
*by A***C on April 29, 2025*

Being a little paranoid about storage devices from Amazon, I connected this SSD to a virtual machine and ran some basic analyses to make sure it was safe. I checked for hidden partitions and encrypted file systems and scanned for malware. Nothing suspicious was detected. The drive was formatted ExFAT. I chose to wipe the entire drive which took approximately an hour and a half. I reformatted as NTFS. The drive works great. I don't use large files in my workflow so I don't have need for blazing read/write speeds. This drive is fast enough for my use, never gets hot, and is light weight and very portable. The only downside was that I ordered the green one and received the pink one instead.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tiny Drive, Big Performance
*by A***N on March 12, 2025*

It's so tiny that it's impressive that it has a capacity of 1 Terabyte. Really remarkable engineering when you think about it. It's also very light, weighing exactly 40g or 1.41oz - about the same as a couple of AA batteries.I've included screen captures of benchmarks; one with the drive connected to my USB-A 3.1 port and another via my USB-C port. It's the same computer, one test run right after the other. You can see that near the advertised speed is achieved by using the USB-C connection. It's possible that the same results could be achieved by using a USB-A v3.2, but I don't have one. Using my older technology v3.1 is only half the speed, which is still pretty fast for most uses.The drive comes already formatted and ready to use; just plug it in. No setup or software installation required, which I appreciate. The cable is only about 9 inches long, but that's plenty. No matter where you plug it in, it's so light that it doesn't tug on the connection.I didn't notice any heat coming from the drive even after extended file transfers. It's completely silent too, which is expected for an SSD but still nice to confirm.I plugged it into my Android phone and used it with a file management app. Although I have no practical need to use it with my phone, it does work. This could be useful for transferring large files or media without using cloud services.For the price, this drive delivers excellent performance and convenience without any obvious compromises. The combination of size, speed, and capacity makes it easy to recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Nice Drive, Short Cable, Wrong Color
*by T***Y on March 11, 2025*

Had been looking for a small and fast self contained SSD for media storge and transfer. Arrived in good condition, well packed in full retail display packaging. Included connecting cable is extremely short, only about three inches, which limits the flexibility in connection and usage without purchasing a longer cable to use. Unit looks well constructed with an attractive design and aluminum housing, capacity appears as advertised when connected, and transfer speeds when connected to an appropriate USB port also appear to be as advertised. The other issue taking away a star beyond the short cable is that the incorrect color was shipped, ordered dark green and received rose gold. Poor order fulfillment by either the manufacturer or Amazon, disappointing either way.
