  • Nice and Easy
Size: 1TB
UPDATE 2. To clarify my speed results, I don't suggest that the X31 SSD was the speed-limiting factor. It was how fast the files were copied from my 8 year-old Windows 10 computer. In any case, it was faster than any previous transfer from my old computer! UPDATE. Anecdotal file copying time: I copied the My Pictures folder in Windows with 48.2 GB of images. It took about 7 minutes and the external drive didn't get noticeably warm. I bought this simply as an external drive. Sleek, compact and it works. Simply plug it in. Totally empty, no programs, no bloatware. I didn't measure speed, but it is fast. There is software at the website, but I didn't need or try any. Nicely packaged, this device looks and feels high-end. ... show more

  • Great value, excellent drive
Size: 1TB
I haven’t been using it long but I was immediately impressed by how small and lightweight the drive is. It is even more compact than I was expecting and in addition to the case which prevents slipping it also has rubber runners on the bottom that keep it secure as well. It’s so lightweight and the cords that come with it are so sturdy that initially the cord was enough to lift it off of the desk! Additionally, the speed is excellent and despite using it for hosting videos I am editing it only heated up very slightly. I’m sure with heavier use it will be more noticeable but I spent a solid hour editing and it was barely warm. Overall the drive seems to be quite well made and the cords that come with it definitely are. I also like that it comes with a double usbc and a usb to usbc cord. A great product! ... show more

Awesome external hard drive and very small and portable

  • Awesome product, would buy again.
Size: 1TB
I really like this external drive, I got it to have a safe place to store family phone data, precious pics & vids of my children, etc. The price is good and SSD is a top tier choice for secure storage. The design is nice and I like the protective case, it stops it from slipping if I scoot my laptop. Download speed is very fast. The only con is that I feel like a zipper storage case could've been included, I'll need to spend another $10 or so getting that too. But then again it's cheaper than most products of its type that don't come with accessories or even a cord at all. I love the product itself and if I ever need more space I'll get another of these. ... show more

  • Fast. Good price. Very convenient.
Size: 1TB
I worry that my computer will die. (An older computer died.) I do not want to lose certain files. But my existing external HDD hard drives were just so slow and bulky. Prices on SSDs have come down enough that when I found this I decided to give it a try. It is FAST. So I bought another one. Now I have two. Now I feel the safety of having two backups and the convenience of small and easy portability and the speed of copying a large folder in about a minute. ... show more

  • But I never heard of them
Size: 1TB
In this review I will leave it to others, many others, to argue things like speed. I don’t see the point – everyone’s going to get completely different real life speeds compared to those who glower over bench tests which seem to never exactly agree with each other anyway. My rule when considering any memory is to buy it, install it, try it and if it works for you keep it, if not try something else. In today’s world most memory devices are capable of near real-time speeds and the average user doesn’t need the maximum theoretical on-paper speeds for their everyday home computing, or even business needs. My focus is based more on two things – does the company who makes the memory device know what they are doing and is what they make reliable. Let’s start with the first, if you were to walk down any average street and ask a thousand people to name a brand of computer memory the chances that even one of them would name SK Hynix, yet this company is the second largest maker of memory in the world. Many of the most famous brands of electronic devices use this brand exclusively and have for many years. It is only recently that they have come out of their cocoon and started to sell under their own, albeit awkward, name. IS IT RELIABLE If someone answers yes or no to that question, move on, they are giving you the wrong answer. No computer memory manufacturer sets out to make a memory device that purposely fails. Buying any brand, repeat that, any brand is a gamble. Sooner or later you will run into a product that messes up. Some will immediately suggest that the entire brand name is a bad choice. Again, move on. If I am playing the law of averages my choice would be to choose the biggest or second biggest manufacturer of memory devices in the world – I’m guessing they know what they are doing. Related to reliability is connectivity – many drives I own have loose ports which can result in lost data. The two included cables with this one are very substantial and lock in place with a satisfying click. I should say that this company’s entire presentation is first rate, with the minor exception of what I mention below. MAKING A DECISION Choosing which one to buy, assuming we are talking about portable SSD’s now, really comes down to which one is on sale, which one looks prettiest and which one has the longest warranty. One the first score I chose this one on a whim, fully knowing who SSK Hynix is, because it was on a Black Friday sale and I bought it with my own money, and I liked the soft rounded corners because I actually did plan on using it as a mobile storage media and it feels good in my jeans pocket. The gold color was a plus to immediately make it identifiable in a drawer full of other devices. And I liked their choice of connectivity, which fit into every one of my devices without having to carry an adapter. And the 3 year warranty is definitely a big plus. SURPRISES Much of the product page is written in Chinese, I’m surprised that they have never translated it for our domestic market. Although they mention it I was surprised that they include a thick silicone case which is clear so it doesn’t hide the beauty of the design. Unfortunately that beautiful design is only on one side of the product itself, the other side is bland silver and totally filled with written text. Another surprise is that although they say that they provide customized SK Hynix edition Macrium cloning software for data transfers and OS migration. Along with our Easy Kit software, so you can check the performance and status of your SSD at a glance. Neither of those apps is on the drive, in the box nor referred to in the brief instruction sheet. That is a disappointment and dropped them down a notch. YES NO MAYBE Based on my own criteria this was an easy decision and I like that it arrived without being loaded with bloatware. It seems rugged and it does not get unreasonably warm in use. And yes it is fast but everything I own is new generation. The everyday price is a bit high so if that were my only criterion I might have thought twice but I bet it goes on sale fairly often. Overall I am happy. ... show more

  • Reliable and tough
Size: 1TB
Fast, reliable, lots of space. What more do you want, get you one! Actually, I am an IT tech and use external drives a lot. This one I think I like over all others. Will definitely be buying a few more as needed. If you’re on the fence, stop thinking about it and do it. You won’t regret it.

  • It works well
Size: 1TB
The unit is very small, 3x2 inches in it's case. It's fast, much faster than my old back up hard drive. I backed up 14,160 and 35.6 GB of pictures in under 10 minutes. I am very pleased and recommend this great back up hard drive.
