I had to reformat the drive to suit the Windows system. No problem, just a step I wasn't expecting. It appears to have the mirror image of our computer on it. I have not tried to use it and hope I never will but it can sure save a bunch of headaches. Worked perfectly and is really small. Copied fast. Just plug it into a USB and it turns on and is ready to work.

Awesome! portable SSD. YES this is standard Sata3 SSD Speeds, which is up to 500-550Mbps and has a USB Connector, but its portable, and was less than $60, why on earth wouldnt you buy it. SSK makes a 1000Mbps 10G USB-C version, and a thumb drive sized one but why do i need it. I dont. This is an excellent drive does not get hot. I use it to back up my M4 Mac Mini using Time Machine daily backups, and its only using about 36GB so far. I may buy a couple more! And it works on ipads, etc.

I purchased this drive as a replacement for my Microsoft Zune which I used as a music source in my 2012 Buick LaCrosse. The Zune is not compatible with my new car's infotainment system so I transferred all of the music from it to this 1tb SSD drive (thousands of files) and it works perfectly! I simply plugged it into the usb port in my car and it was immediately recognized and I am able to manipulate the files in any manner I wish to. I give it 5 stars!

I need storage that I could use as OTG with my phone. This works wonderfully. But, one caution: whatever you store on here needs to come through the phone, not from a computer. Permissions were wack otherwise. This has good enough speed and the form-factor is very pocketable.

Review of SSK 1TB SSD thumb drive. This is an external SSD (Solid State Drive), not an external HDD (Hard Disk Drive). Note the differences are important. An SSD is small, fast, and rugged. The little SSD can be dropped or shaken or bumped. Since there are no mechanical moving parts in an SSD, they will last for years as an internal drive because they are powered more often. The major problem with SSDs is that if left unpowered for more than a year, the data may get corrupted. Thus longterm archive storage as a thumb drive may be a problem. Basically as an SSD is written to, it charges/discharges tiny solidstate cells. That charge can dissipate over time and data is lost. So if using an external SSD remember to power it up every now again. I was able to clone a 512gb SSD internal drive within about 20 minutes. So this drive is FAST.

This is one of the very few NVMe drives that has low enough power consumption to work with a phone or tablet. Windows 11 treats it as a real hard drive rather than a flash drive (deleted files are put in the NVMe's Recycle Bin rather than being permanently deleted). I got it so I could have a large media library in a portable format. It will work just fine for this. However, it started copying files from my old USB3 hard drive at 300mb/second. But, as soon as the NVME drive heated up, this dropped to 30 mb/second. Transferring 900 GB of data took over 6 hours! So, while this little drive works great for carrying files with you, it's not suitable for transferring large amounts of data. Or, for example, editing large video files directly on the drive. As an experiment, I tried sealing the hot drive in a zip lock bag and putting an ice pack on it. Once the outside case was cool to the touch, I plugged it back in. It started at 300 mb/second and almost immediately dropped back to 30. I'm guessing that the flat chip inside an oval case means there's dead air space between them. So even if you kept the outside case cooled with a fan or ice cube, the chip inside is still going to overheat. Other than the Thermal Throttling, this little hard drive is great! If SSK can come up with a case design that transfers the heat away from the chip, even if it requires external cooling, they’ll have a real winner!

جميل وحجمه صغير قد الصباع تقريبا، سرعات التخزين سريعة بس تحت الضغط تضعف
