[Intel Certified] 1TB Thunderbolt 3 External Portable SSD, Bus Powered, Read up to 2800 MB/s, Write up to 2300 MB/s (Compatible with Thunderbolt 4 and USB 4 Devices)

Connected to mbp 2016 and imported about 60 gb of video clips into final cup pro. After some editing, the disk ejected itself out. I put it back in and restarted fcp. After a few minutes, ssd ejected again, this time permanently failed. No blue light, no nothing. Was so disappointed. This is my second t3 ssd (first one was pluggable 1tb, working flawlessly for abt six months). Returning this back to amazon for a refund.

The aluminum case is nice. It's heavy and solidly built. It is definitely transferring at thunderbolt 3 speeds. I use it for midi instrument libraries and have had no issue with loading delays or stuttering. I am going to buy another one because of how much I like this one. I am happily surprised. It also comes with a nice bag that feels as if it's got EM protection woven in, though I have no way to test if this is true or of its just a nifty bag. Also comes with a thunderbolt cable. Worked right out of the box with no issues. At $175 for 2tb of thunderbolt 3 speed, it's a bargain.

Saw YouTube video on this product. Read/Write times looked really impressive right out of the box. Works with Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 ONLY - I tried on a USB-C v3 on my M1 iMac - no go. So check you hardware before you buy -- If it fits, good value for money.Oh - if you tried to load say - 500GB at one time - the unit does heat up and slow down. But once finished, and cools somewhat (my impression) the speed returns.Happy with my purchase.

I purchased the pre-assembled Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 and USB 4 compatible PCIe SSD external enclosure with a 4TB NVMe SSD already inside the metallic case/heat-sink from the Amazon TEKQ Store. The external enclosure is designed to radiate heat and cool the internal SSD. My new laptop does not have a USB-4 port so I was unable to test USB-4 compatibility.What shipped inside the external SSD enclosure was a Micron/Crucial Technology 4TB PCIe (Gen3x4) P3 Series NVMe M.2 (2280) SSD (CT4000P3SSD8), as well as a 26" Thunderbolt 3 USB Type-C cable, metallic-like fabric carrying case, extra screws and a miniature Philips head screwdriver were also included with the product(s) sold.I use Micron/Crucial Technology SATA-III SSD in my older laptops. The Micron/Crucial Technology SSD P3 series is one of the best rated having sequential read and write speeds of 3,500 MBps and 3,000 MBps as well as a SSD endurance (TBW) of 800TB over its expected lifetime.Data transfer rates were well above 2,500 MBps (Read 2,900 MBps and Write 2,600 MBps) as stated on the Amazon website and on the packaging of the external SSD enclosure, which equates to Thunderbolt speeds of at least 20Gbps.Since my new laptop does NOT have a USB 4 port (20/40Gbps) and only supports USB 3.2 @10Gbps (Gen2x1) and not 20Gbps (Gen2x2) , having a Thunderbolt port and this 4TB external Thunderbolt SDD with at least 20Gbps data transfer speeds is great! Much better than the fastest USB 3.2 SATA-III HDD.I believe if I had separately purchased the TEKQ external SSD enclosure and a Micron/Crucial Technology 4TB PCIe (Gen4x4) P3 Series Plus 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD (CT4000P3PSSD8) instead, Thunderbolt speeds of up 5,000MBps or 40Gbps would have been possible. TEKQ should be able to advise if Thunderbolt data transfer speeds of 5,000MBps or 40Gbps is possible using their external SSD enclosure, or not?However, I am satisfied with my purchase from TEKQ. My new laptop has a USB 3.2 Type C port with a Thunderbolt 3 bridge to the PCIe bus that is Gen3x4 @ 8.0 GT/s so I may not have benefited from faster data transfer rates with a 4TB Micron/Crucial Technology PCIe (Gen4x4) P3 Plus NVMe SSD.Separately purchasing the TEKQ external SSD enclosure and the 4TB Micron/Crucial Technology PCIe (Gen3x4) P3 Series NVMe M.2 (2280) SSD (CT4000P3SSD8) on Amazon would have saved me $20 but spending the extra $20 was well worth knowing the TEKQ external SSD enclosure with a 4TB PCIe NVMe SSD already inside would work when I plugged it into my new laptop.Thanks TEKQ!

I purchased this external Thunderbolt 3 drive mainly for the enclosure. I was surprised to see it came with a 1TB Crucial P3 drive as they are known for reliability.It died quickly.While backing up my Mac Studio M2. Max, the drive just disappeared and I the MacOS Eject before removing popup. I went to unplug from the drive and it was way hotter than even I expected. The P3 is a PCIe x3 drive, so it shouldn't get this hot! I let it cool and plugged it back in. Nothing.MacOS's Disk Utility, when viewing all devices is selected, doesn't even show the enclosure. Over to a PC we go. I first plugged it into a USB-C port, knowing it won't work but should be detected, and surprisingly it was detected with the warning that Thunderbolt may not function properly. I plugged it into a Thunderbolt port and the enclosure showed up, but no drive.Pulling the SSD out and replacing it with a rather new Sabrent Rocket 4TB, it was alive and kicking - and definitely putting up some great transfer rates, so back to the Mac Studio. I should note on the Mac Studio I was running MacOS Sonoma Developer Beta and restored the Mac back to Ventura while I was testing the enclosure on my PC.The Mac picked the drive up immediately. I ran Blackmagic Disk Speed Test and actually got slightly better performance from the enclosure/Sabrent combo than I did the internal drive. Impressive.Now, with nothing to back up (I used Time Machine to back up to a home server) I started reinstalling Office and other apps. Without any further use, the drive was sitting idle and bam, "Eject drive before disconnecting" pops up. So it's not the Mac, not MacOS, not the Crucial drive, it's the enclosure. Remember, the drive was idle - so it shouldn't be anything above warm - it was burning hot.I submitted for an exchange and will see what the replacement yields. I will update this review as pertinent to the replacement drive. All electronics end up with bad units, so I've given them another chance. We'll see what happens, but for now I would recommend avoiding, even though this is a great price for the 1TB.

J’aime la vitesse de transfert, la grosseur et le poids de cet article

En tant que photographe, j'en avais assez du temps de lecture/écriture depuis mon LaCie externe (costaud mais lent...). Passer à du SSD en Thunderbolt 3 m'a changé la vie (voir taux de transfert quasi équivalent au SSD interne !!!)Je travail sur iMac 2020 / Sonoma / 32Go RAMMaintenant il faut qu'il tienne dans le temps .... Je garde mon LaCie 4To pour sauvegarde.Bref un super rapport qualité/Prix et surtout un des seul à proposer du Thunderbolt 3 (Le USB 3.2 Gen 2 n'étant pas compatible sur iMac 2020)

Buen acabado, cumple fielmente con las reseñas. La mejor manera de sacarle partido en memoria a las posibilidades de los puertos Thunderbolt del Mac Studio. La parte inferior tiene dos bandas de goma para que el disco no se deslice sobre el escritorio.

Il Tekq è stata una scoperta. Preso dopo che il più famoso Samsung Extreme ha cominciato a darmi dei problemi per le alte temperature raggiunte.La forza del Tekq sta infatti nella eccellente dissipazione del calore (lo uso come disco di avvio su iMac): il disco in qualsiasi scenario è sempre tiepido, permettendo al disco interno di girare sempre al massimo.Il secondo punto di forza è la circuiteria di alto livello, mi pare Intel, che lo porta a prestazioni elevate.Con BlackMagic Speed disk abbiamo 1.900 MB/s in scrittura e 2.050 MB/s in lettura.Tutto questo con il disco fornito di WD che è un buon disco, ma non certo il più veloce.E' infatti possibile sostituire facilmente il disco interno staccando i piedini in gomma e svitando le piccole viti celate al di sotto.Solido, piacevole al tatto, consigliato sotto ogni punto di vista.E' disponibile anche solo come case, anche se non facile da trovare in Italia.Il prezzo, infine, è semplicemente pazzesco.

M1 Mac miniの起動ディスクとして安定して運用できていますし心配していた熱もGEN3のSSDなのでそれほどでもないですMacにはやはりTB接続の外付けが安定していて良いですね耐久性については買って日が浅いのでコメントしません
