  • Exactly as advertised! Small form factor!
Style: Up to 1050MB/s XS1000 - Red Size: 1TB
Exactly as advertised. Comes with a USB-C to USB-A for older models with no USB-C connection, and a USB-A to USB-C adapter if you do have that connection. This was the best bang for the buck when I purchased on black Friday. I'm just now getting around to leaving a review. I am storing most of my backups on here and another 1TB external SSD that I purchased from Amazon as well. Highly recommended. ... show more

Style: Up to 1050MB/s XS1000 - Red Size: 2TB
I bought three of these and I'm returning 2 for refunds. This third was given as a gift and I'm trying to retirieve it. The first one (2T) was used to archive a 1.16T folder with my photograph archives. First it said it would take 4 hrs for the backup (on an Apple M4 Pro mini) but it quickly moved to one hour. Four hours later it was slower than a turtle and it actually seemed to be losing data. I was unable to stop it or eject it and followed all the technical advice and realized this was not the SSD for archival puposes. Turned the computer off, wiped the drive and made refund arrangements. This morning I tried the same process with the identical #2 drive. The computer didn't see the drive in spite of changing ports and rebooting. When I attached another cable (not the one supplied) the drive was immediately recognized and I began the file transfer. Again it said one hour to complete the job. After an hour only 1/4 of the job was completed and the tranfer rate was down to a very, v e r y slow crawl. So...between the unusable cable and the very slow transfer rate I realized this drive was not for me. There are some other complaints about the supplied cable and adapter. If you must use this drive I'd suggest a good, short, Thunderbolt 3 cable. Oh well, as some have stated...you get what you pay for. I'll now pay the premium for the much more reliable Samsung T7. ... show more
