SSK 1TB USB Drive,External SSD Fast 550MB/s 2-in-1 Dual-Drive Type C+ A USB3.2 Gen2 Solid State ThumbDrive SSD-Stick for iPhone 15/16/PS4/Android Phone/Tablet/Windows/Mac

I have three of these now, a 512GB and two 1TB units. They're all great. Very fast, very well made, but they do get hot. The metal enclosure does a good job of shedding the heat from the chips but it does get hot to the touch especially on writes. It's common to see sustained reads and writes 400+ MBPS and will absolutely hit the advertised speeds for bursts especially with big files. (I have gotten 900+ MBPS on read occasionally with the smaller drive with large files on USBC). It doesn't suffer a dram cache limit like some other drives )or I haven't gotten it to show any sign of that with sustained speeds across the whole transfer). This drive compares favorably to the best Samsung SSDs I have and thats the highest praise I have.

Ok, this is going to read like an advertisement, but I have never been happy about buying a USB SSD before. I will be honest, I bought this USB SSD cause it was low price, was fast and had USB-A and USB-C connector. I honestly didn't give much thought to the device, until I opened up the Amazon delivery package, felt and examined the device. I was impressed immediately and was surprised at its build quality, which I didn't expect. I thought it would be the run of the mill SSD USB cheap plastic device, I didn't know and didn't read that it was built out of High Grade Zinc alloy housing. If you look at the device it looks impressive, it doesn't look cheap and when you hold it in your hand, feel it and touch it it oozes quality. The weight is just enough to let you know it is there, it is a nice weight. Taking the cover off of the USB-A side has a nice friction pull, pulling it off and putting it on, there is no cheap plastic ridge click feeling but a smooth friction action putting the USB-A cover on and off. The USB-C protective cover is a pleasure to operate, again oozing a quality type feel and the markings on this SSD USB device are nice and will not wear with time. I operated this USB device with my PC which has a USB-A port and with my Samsung phone which has a USB-C port, in both cases it operated smoothly and quickly with no issues. On top of this, it came with a very nice leather-built pouch with a key chain holder. This is one of the issues of USB drives, you put it down somewhere and you forget where you put it, the nice leather pouch with key chain means one will always know where the USB device is. I highly recommend this USB SSD device, it is apparent that SSK designers put in a lot of thought into this device from a look, feel, handling, mechanical protection, ease of portability as well as a lot of storage and quick speed as well as port flexibility, having both USB-A and USB-C. I would never think I would write a review about a USB device since all the previous one's I bought were cheap plastic and you couldn't put them on your key chain. But this USB device is nice/fun to handle, look at, store and operate........very nice product.

I tore the package open in a big hurry to do a data dump that was long overdue and found myself astounded, absolutely AMAZED, at the speed of this USB Drive. The fit: Perfect. Portable: Yes, and it comes with a little storage case. Durable: Yes, this has a nice heavy duty weight and feel to it. Security: Yes, password protected at set up. Now, the speed: Just...WOW. 503GB transferred in just over 10 minutes. The FASTEST solid state drive I have ever owned and I will never go back to another. Note: Performance may vary slightly due to your usage conditions. Works with USB C and USB A devices, and each end of the drive has an easy on/easy off, (but not loose) cover for protection. HIGH SPEED, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.!

Over the years, I have purchased dozens of thumb drives, micro SD cards, and other small storage devices. These have covered the range of brand names to non-brand names and offering storage from 2gb to 2tb. As is often the case, the advertised specs often do match real life performance. This thumb drive is different. I regularly transfer multiple large files between desktops, cell phones, tablets, and such and so I have a good idea of which of my options is akin to watching paint dry and which could be called amazing blazing. This SSK 2tb drive is one of the latter variety. Having compared it to Kingston, Sandisk, Samsung, and perhaps others, it is the best thumb drive that I have found. The bonus is that it offers 2tb of space giving me overhead to avoid immediately deleting files that I may need to carry to other projects. As a bonus, it is manufactured out of sturdy metal that feels costly as opposed to common plastic or composite material. Finally, as others have mentioned, the access to having a standard USB on one side and a C connector on the other side means that I have near universal compatibility between my devices. I love this thumb drive and believe that you may find the same benefits that I have enjoyed.

Sleek, solid, and a fine alternative to the forced "Cloud" storage mechanisms baked into too many proprietary OS apps nowadays; The case was a nice touch, as well. If your device motherboard doesn't support expansion options or compatability, this can be a decently affordable solution to safely prevent data corruption until you have a more modern device. The only reason I gave it Four stars is due to its oddly frustratingly slow transfer rate, and alarmingly high internal heat when plugged into a phone.

Mind blowingly fast transfers. I put files on this and I have to check if they are on because it takes literally no time to transfer. It's just there instantly. Very sturdy, very quality build and I've never had an issue. Not one of those things where you unbox it and it's plasticky and flimsy.It's all metal and rubber construction. Caps fit well, aren't falling off, or rattling around. No files dropped or corrupted. Heats up, but never slows down or fails because of this. Highly recommend! I'm including a picture of it plugged into my dusty computer so you know I'm not an influencer who was paid to say this.

Great product does what it's supposed to do. Love the fact that it has USB and USBC.

Excellent SSD ! Very compact and having dual connections makes this very versatile. Transfer speeds are great and the minimalist design with the leather case included makes this very portabvle !

Funciona muy bien, irreal que en ese tamaño le quepan los 2TB y la capacidad es real, ya le metí 1.4 terabites y sin problema, es rápido, solo que depende que tu computadora tenga los puertos nuevos y más rápidos para que funcione al 100%, en mi caso transfirió bastante bien 300 gigas a una tasa de 150mb/s pero mi compu ya es vieja, después de los 300 gigas si mermó mucho la velocidad por que se calienta bastante, pero funciona muy bien. Es muy robusto, se siente pesado pero no es grande. Excelente precio lo compré en $2,600 pesos, y está excelente. Que traiga las dos salidas integradas usb a y usb c, está increíble súper versátil y actual.

A velocidade de transmissão de dados é muito boa.

Love this little drive. Lots of memory and having a USB-A and USB-C option is great. Very fast to transfer info.

Honnêtement je ne savais pas qu’il existait une clé USB aussi rapide et avec de telle capacité. Les transferts se font rapidement ( vidéos, photos, musiques ou autres). Je suis très satisfait de mon achat.

Very very good product 👌
