Verbatim 47622 128GB USB 3.0 External SSD

Weighs just about nothing, size of a credit card and seems pretty darned fast. Quality of supplied cable not fantastic but dies the job is is nice and compact. Perfect for carrying around with laptop for fast backups and extra storage

I bought this purely to backup my music collection. The initial backup of about 140GB took several days - given the general poor write speeds of SSD for many small files (about 16500) I wasn't that surprised. It was also only attached to a USB 2 port which have made it slower still. The drive itself feels quite brittle and very "Plasticy" but is unbelievably light and does the job I bought it for extremely well. I just think you have to treat it with a certain amount of respect and understand its random write speeds and unlikely to better rotating rust for the time being. Good value over all.

I bought this product after carefully considering a multitude of similar devices. It is primarily used for backing up work documents from my laptop (which is also an SSD). It is lightening fast during transfer, write and read use and comes with a very handy storage bag and connecting lead. It does not get warm during use like similar SSD drives and feels sturdy in the hand. Highly recommended,

While this external drive is nice and small and comes with a nice carry case, in my opinion it is completely unfit for purpose. SSDs imply speed. And indeed the item description includes the term "High Performance" - which is why I bought this product and it turns out this is entirely inaccurate. This external SSD is extremely slow, even via USB 3. I returned it on the same day it arrived and ordered a Seagate external HDD (not an SSD) and it performs well and is very fast (obviously larger and heavier though).So if you don't care about speed, and only care about small footprint and light weight, then this product might well be for you. But it'll take a long time to get your data on/off it.

Very good and spacious! But in the future I wouuld choose a bigger capacity USB stick

This is not fast at at all. The write speed is comparable to an old spinner disk, the read speed is where it falls down - about six times slower than a proper SSD device, e.g. LaCie etc. I don't understand all the praise for it's speed, especially from a supposed IT professional.

Very small, very light, great piece of kit. I keep it plugged into my laptop (which is really used like a desk top), which is a bit old and has limited disk space. Use the SSD as primary storage; I keep it in its little fleece bag becasue it doesn't get hot and it protects it. Also use it to transfer data to other computers on occasion.

Light as a feather and very quick but not as super fast as I thought it would be, even in the USB 3.0 port. Not a deal breaker though. Fantastic bit of kit
