ADATA SD700 3D NAND 512GB Ruggedized Water/Dust/shock Proof External Solid State Drive BLACK (ASD700-512GU3-CBK)

I took delivery 5 days ago so can't comment on long term reliability yet.I can say that storage devices' capacity are misleading/confusing. This drive is marketed as 500Gb, in reality it is 477Gb, probably due to storage being used by driver data?It's connected to my smart TV for storage and copes very, very well with being tasked to record & replay full HD TV shows.No noise & no psu required - it gets power from the TV via the USB cable (included).If used for other purposes such as mobile data/backup I can confirm that it is small in size but big in performance, real world read/write are really fast. All this and as expected with ssd, silent.I'll update after six months but chances are it'll be replaced by a newer model by that time, that's tech for you! 😊

Have couple of these from ADATA and no trouble. Excellent speeds and robust. This one must be faulty. I finished backing up data (music files), which took capacity to about 75%, disc locks and can't be accessed. Need a refund and therefore returned (excellent Amazon return service) but would be concerned if I had put any personal data on it and couldn't delete before return.

Wow! I got this to try to put a bit more zip into my 2014 Mac Mini. I cloned it's startup drive onto this, booted from it and I cannot believe the difference. Boot-up time was 2m 01s with the internal spinning drive, and 0m 30s with this. Apps launch almost immediately and for about £70 has made my computer like new. Highly recommended.

Strong lightweight durable metallic construction aswell compatible across devices, comes with small operation light and heavy duty rubberised connector cable.Write speed seems fast, but above all its lightweight durable and strong with an all round rubber protection band, palm-sized its also extremely small.

A small, robust SSD drive that lives almost permanently attached to my MacBook (which only has a 256gb SSD). File transfer is very quick and problem free. I've just filled it with photos from the last year and very recently ordered another one of these drives. And when fills up I'll buy another. Why don't I buy a bigger SSD? Because I don't want all my eggs in one basket, that's why.
