SSK 8TB SSD External Hard Drive, Portable SSD Drive up to 2000 MB/s, USB 3.2 Gen2X2 External Solid State Drives for iPhone 15/16 PRO、Mac、Phone OTG、Laptops with LED Indicator

Really happy with this little SSD. It’s small and compact, so it’s easy to carry around and doesn’t take up any space in my bag. The speed is excellent — transfers are quick and smooth whether I’m using it with my laptop or phone. It does get a little warm if you’re using it extensively, but that’s to be expected with something this size and performance level. Overall, it’s reliable, lightweight, and works exactly as advertised. Definitely a solid buy if you need fast, portable storage.

Fast downloading speed, small and practical. And has such amazing quality. Highly recommended

This is really good and easy to use. Small size, easy to store

I have been quite pleased with this external hard drive. I have a new Mac Pro, and this device is simply plug and play, with no problem whatsoever. I was able to backup up my computer very quickly; the device is quiet; and I have had no problems with it overheating. I highly recommend it. For the price, I’m not sure you can beat it.

I have mixed feelings. First, this thing is absolutely tiny, although it has some heft and there is a lot of electronics stuffed in there. Seems to be built strong, but it's mostly metal and very hard. Maybe should have a shock resistant coating or cover. It does work but I don't quite know what to say about performance. I have a 2022 MacBook Pro with the M2-Pro processor. My computer has 3 USB-C ports, all of which are also Firewire 4.0 enabled. Using the short USB-C cable that came with the device and using the Black Magic disk throughput program, I get a maximum write speed of 925 mbps (advertised on Amazon to get up to 2000 mbps). I have an older SanDisk 2TB SSD that under the same setup gets about 640 mbps (rated at 1000 mbps). I bought an expensive specific Firwire cable, although it is 18 in long, and the throughput for the SSK was the same at 925 mbps, while the San Disk dropped slightly to 525 mbps. I'm probably OK with the discrepancy, because even at slightly short of 1000 mbps, the SSK drive was still cheaper than anything else in that size factor at the 1000 mbps level, and it's still about 35-40% faster than the San Disk. I just wish I knew why neither of them perform up to their stated specs. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I had previously bought and reviewed an 8 TB $500 drive from Samsung which proved too slow, buffering before writing. This new drive is smaller and much faster - no buffering delays. I'm returning the Samsung one

Solid. Runs out of the box. No need to format, just plug in and instantly functions. Needed an external SSD for single player games. Runs smooth and read/write speeds are blazing fast. Highly recommend this one!

As advertised. Compact and easy to use. I've only used it for a few days, but so far, it's great.
