Great little SSD external drive for archiving

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2021

This is a great little SSD external drive. I use it to archive heavy video and audio files, and free up space from my internal SSD drive. The two SSD drives copy files very quickly. It's a big difference in transfer speed compared to standard mechanical external drives. I am running this external drive off a powered USB hub, with no problems. Actually, I wish the drive was a big bigger, as it could get lost in a drawer.

Long Term Review

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2023

I use this only for my TeslaCam so it's definitely getting used on the daily. After using it for two years it is now extremely slow and barely gets recognized by my computer or the Tesla even with multiple tries on different cables. I would not recommend.

A Great Choice in a Small Package

I got this for my new M1 Macbook Air cause I didn't want to pay more for less memory. Install and transfer of files has been incredibly easy. It even comes with a USB-C to USB-C cord so you don't need to worry about a hub or adapter.
As a heads up, if you're using this on a Big Sur OS for Macbook or anything, make sure you format the SSD and allow the extensions on your computer or else it won't be read.

So far this has been a mighty little storage device. Hasn't filled yet and thus far (knock wood) has not given me any signs of malfunctioning.

Fine so far

Device is used to record video from several cameras in a car. It is supposed to have longer longevity than the smaller USB flash memory sticks. Appreciated the manufacturer providing both type "A" and type "C" cables when they might have cut corners and included only one. Upon playback, there are a few unwanted video artifacts; I do not know if it's because this SSD is recording slower than expected or if they are unrelated to the reviewed device. I may buy another to back up some directories on my home PC.

T5 still Useful

The T-5 has been updated with the T7 for about the same price but better value. We need the T5 for a specific customer, they have proven their worth and value time and time again. Ok for either the T5 or T7

Great value. I use this drive for recording audio with a DAW. It's an external drive and obviously not meant as a primary drive. It's fantastic as additional storage. Inexpensive and fast. The package comes included with USB-c and USB-a cables.

Worked with my Dell 9500. Using it to make a back up OS and store videos. Had to reformat first. Reformatting took 10 minutes to Google how and complete.
