SSK 2TB SSD USB C Stick up to 1000MB/s,Fast External SSD Dual Drive Type-C + USB A 3.2 Gen 2 Solid State Thumb Drive,USB Memory Stick for iPhone 15/PS4/Android Phone/Tablet/Windows/Mac, SD301 Pro

This drive is awesome. Holds a lot of data and data transfer is FAST. It also has a really solidly built feel. It's not flimsy. The leather holder is perfect because I can clip it inside my backpack which means I won't lose this expensive little device and I always have it with me. I can even plug it into my Pixel 9 phone and transfer files to and from the phone, and it also works with my iPad Pro. I love this solid little gadget!!!! Also, it's so easy to use. I never have to do anything except plug it in and it works.

This works perfect for my needs. It's fast and convenient. This came with a really handy carrying case with key ring. Perhaps that was in the description and I bypassed it, so it was a pleasant surprise! I use this right on the zipper inside my briefcase so it's easily accessible. This also keeps me from digging through my bag. All of my devices recognize this immediately without issue. The usb and usb c options are convenient. This device is sturdy- I'm not worried about cracks or falling apart. My only wish and it's nothing that would stop me from purchasing again, would be the cap to the USB side. I'm bound to lose it. I would have loved this even more if both sides flipped to use or if the cap was attached by a short cord.

4TB of data, in the palm of your hand. No external power devices, no cords to be connected. There are faster drives out there now, that have true usb 3.2 gen 2, 2000MB/s rated speeds (not that they actually go that fast), but none in this traditional form factor. Transfer speed is limited by a number of factors including the type of memory and the controller used. This one is a bit on the slower side of 1000MB/s in real world use as the larger capacity slows these down. If you are looking for a 2TB drive or lower, you can probably find the 2000MB/s models from other companies. What is good about this device? 4TB is a lot for a flash drive, I don't know any others that are rated at this capacity and speed if you are in the market for the familiar form factor. It is plenty fast enough for the occasional large file transfer. Real World 600-700MB/s out of a 20GB's port (so it did not saturate bandwidth) for 350GB of data. Build quality. It is all metal construction which is need to help with cooling as large transfers generate heat. It reminds me of the old USB 2.0 Cruzer Titanium flash drives from back in the day, where you could get a whopping256mb, 512mb, then 1GB, 2GB, eventually 4GB. Considering we have 1000x the capacity in a slightly larger form factor is incredible. The only downside is the USB-A cap which would be easy to lose, (already lost it once), and no way to hook the cap onto a lanyard. Hope they come out with a USB3.2 Gen 2 version, otherwise I will probably keep this one for a long time if it holds up.

Runs exactly as intended. Reaches the correct read/write speeds. I first ran it on my Laptop on a USB Type-A port (Laptop only USB 3.2 Gen 1 (500mb/s), so it will only reach about half of the advertised speed due to hardware limitations. But I knew this going into this, so no problem, just check your hardware before you buy and don't complain if you didn't do your compatibility homework before you purchased and it doesn't reach the speeds you expected! Next, I used my Type-C port on my laptop to test, and with the same limitations gave me the same result. Then I tested on my Rog Ally X with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (1000mb/s) using its built-in Type-C port and was pleasantly surprised at how spot on the read/write speeds were. I also tested this on my Samsung Galaxy S22 and my Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, and both had very good write speeds. I'd say the value for the money is perfect. You are getting a quality product that does exactly what it advertises for a good price. Every type C device I could think of has been compatible so far, including my DJI Air 3s drone, even. It seems well built and sturdy. It is just a bit longer than your standard USB Flash Drive because it has to accommodate the Type-C side as well. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who does a lot of transferring between devices like myself, especially large files like video games from my PC to my Rog Ally X and my 4k 60fps drone footage to my tablet. This is a key piece of hardware for any IT person. Edit: After using it a bit more extensively I've noticed even with minimal read/write action this drive gets EXTREMELY HOT. As a personal recommendation if you are using this drive do not do any prolonged activities that would mean constant reading/writing from the drive. Transfer whatever you need off of it and use it in short bursts. Don't try to run a large installer (like a video game) from the drive itself. Make sure to plug it into ports away from any sort of fans as well. Avoid leaving it plugged in when idle. -1 ☆ for the extreme heat.

I was worried this was going to be one of those big honkin usb sticks, but it's exactly the size of my ring finger and I have pretty small hands. I was really surprised at how small it is. I was initially going to get a little tiny samsung just to plug into my phone but then I saw how fast and compact the higher end had gotten. It IS metal and it feels very well made. The only part you might lose is the USB-A cap but it's on there very tight and definitely won't come out in your pocket. It takes effort. I bought this to use between android, windows, macbook and ios. Media and music production stuff. So I need to use exfat which means to encrypt I have to use a folder encryptor like Cryptomator and make vaults on the drive root. This seems to be working great so far. I've tested between my s24+, windows 11 and macbook pro and everything picked up the drive and was able to treat it as a mounted network share fine. Meaning that I could actually open mobile apps and point to things like my audiobook / movie folders to play from directly, and it worked great. I was worried about that. No complaints at all, zero problems. Came exFAT formatted. I didn't have to do anything. It gets pretty hot transferring but I won't be touching it much. I've never bought SSK, will do more often thanks.

it's fast read/write. case is metal, comes with a pouch that has a ring, handy like key fob, because the case is metal its got a solid heavy heft.

I bought this to replace a miserable SanDisk 1TB Thunderbolt USB drive that struggled to sustain 30MByte/sec transfers with a Thunderbolt NVMe storage dock, and never exceeded 70MB/sec. The SSK drive's performance with the same NVMe was dazzling, easily maintaining between 400MBytes/sec to up to 720MB/sec. It excels with large files like video files. The unboxing experience is very pleasant with its little pleather pouch with the snap and D-ring, and the drive's reassuring heft. It just feels good and solid and elegant like a luxury car. It's considerably bigger than the SanDisk it replaced (See the attached picture. During such high speed transfers it gets damned hot, which is probably why they went with a metal enclosure -- better heat dissipation properties. I can tell you that when it's cooking, it's uncomfortable to touch. I'm guessing like 56-60˚C (130-140˚F), I'll try to update the review with a measurement. The USB-A cap is lose-able, and the USB-C cover adds just enough bulk to crowd nearby ports on my Mac. I don't know if I'm prepared to drop a star for that because my plan for this involves high performance and that is what I got. This just is in a totally different class from the one it replaced, and I don't feel comfortable even comparing them.
