Netac 1TB Portable SSD USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps, Type-C) External Solid State Drive Backup Slim Portable Drive for File Storage/Business Travel Essential, Rapid Read & Write Low Noise, Zslim

So far it works great. Much faster than a traditional flash drive. Still very small and inexpensive for the performance

With WoW Shadowlands just on the horizon and the recommendation of utilizing solid state storage for the game, I decided to order this SSD to see just how much my gaming could improve (I game on an HP Pavilion Gaming Edition desktop with 1tb 7200 RPM HDD). I have used Micro SDs by this brand in the past and this SSD was def not a disappointment! Comes with Type-C converter (so do not buy a Type-C to Type-C cord like I did. The converter they supply will plug right onto the USB 3.1 end of the cord so you can utilize a Type-C port for data transfer). A leatherette sleeve is also included and works wonderfully - the drive fits nice and snug inside of it! Arrived on time and as described! For such an amazing value, you can't beat it! It gets a smidge warm when using it to game, but doesn't get too hot (do not keep it in the case when in use. It is aluminum and this will cause extra heat). Transferring files was FAST! WoW is currently over 62 GB and it transfered the entire slew of files for that, my add-ons, and WoW Classic in less than 10 mins! I highly recommend NeTac for all of your electronic storage needs. They sport a great value with quality products. 5 well earned stars!

This thing is amazing. Ultra fast, super portable design. Its small size is astonishing. Its very light weight, but the aluminum case feels strong. Backup size is perfect for what I need at this time.

I like this more than any other USB memory I've purchased. It's a little larger, but still portable. Easy to use. Fast and reliable.

Really a nice drive, the metal case helps dissipate heat, but it barley get warm to the touch. It has 2 small blue led's that blink with activity (very small). I've tested against SanDisk Pro 500MB disk and this tested faster in every test. It not quite as fast as Samsung 500Mb or 1Tb drives, but within 5-10% on writes and 5% on reads. And it's much smaller and seems to be more durable. Tested on HP x360 with USB-C and USB-A connections; USB-C is faster but not by a huge about, especially random activity. in bursts USB-C is always faster.But I primarily bought to try the new rPi USB boot for rPi4, after updating eeprom boot to version dated 2020-06-15; and it worked with no issues, now my rPi has no micro SDcard - VERY happy with it. Wanted smallest possibly drive, and this fits the bill, will buy 2 more and convert more rPi's to this faster more reliable drive. For the price (250mb & 500mb) this is the best priced/performance you can buy (the 1Tb could be a little less expensive).

Had I written this review in the first year of use, it would have been 5 star. Very small, lightweight and portable and easy to use. I set this up on my macbook pro as a time machine drive and it worked very well. But 14 months after purchase, it's suddenly dead.I did not expose this to the elements, no heat/water or shock. It mostly sat on my desk connected to my docking hub. The mac sees the drive in the Disk Utility, but cannot repair or mount it. The blue lights turn on occasionally, but there is no other sign of life.I've got 14 months of back up on this little drive and now it's about as useful as a stale pack of chewing gum and pretty much the same size. I'm very disappointed, and while I don't expect a drive to last forever, I would certainly don't think it's unreasonable to assume an SD drive will not fail after barely one year of use.

Excellent for travel with Laptop, Excellent capacity

Compact, efficient & tons of storage! I highly recommend this USB storage device & recommend it to all.
