AXE MEMORY Portable SSD 500GB Solid State USB Drive, USB 3.2 Gen2 UASP SuperSpeed+. Optimal Speeds Up to 600MB/s Read, 500MB/s Write - Speedy+

I have the 250 GB model. This flash drive can be attached to a keychain, if the keychain will fit through the small hole. It has a For the end to keep the connector clean. The speed is nice, but not as fast as what it shows. But this can certainly have something to do with the computers that I use. I think that speed would be faster if there was a USB – C connector. But overall I am happy with this flash drive.

This drive is fast and easy to use. Im using it for photo backup and its great. It starts out really fast but will heat up over time and slow a bit. I would rather it speed limit for heat than cause errors. Im using this with windows 11. The snap on cap is a nice touch.

Our 2022 tesla has made some changes that are a little annoying. There is only one USB plug that can be used to play media files. Unfortunately, this is also the only USB plug that is used to record your dashcam and sentry videos. All of the other USB connections in the car have been converted to only be charging ports. After some searching online, I found out that you can still run both function from the one USB port, you just have to partition the drive and prepare it so the car can recognize the two partitions and specifically recognizes one of the partition as the one that will be used for video storage. In my research, it specifically notes that you need to use a drive that is more than just a thumb drive. You need a SSD drive that is specifically built so that it can read and write quickly and is durable enough to with stand the constant writing and re-writing to the drive. So far this drive is working perfectly and with over 250 GB dedicated to video storage and 250 GB available for media, this drive has plenty of room for both

The product packaging says this SSD is designed in Japan and made in Taiwan. The drive is very small and lightweight. Length is 2.2 inches with the cap on. It fits precisely in my USB port and feels well made. Data speeds are very fast, which is very handy if you are copying 100GB or more at a time. SSD technology should be more more reliable than those old USB flash drives.

Worked right away with my Ntfs saved vids plugged into my lg oled! Finally!

I know the line tiny yet powerful gets thrown around alot, but I mean it for real here. The 500gb storage on this drive Im trying matches my internal SSD in space, yet plugs into a USB and fits on my keychain! In other words, I can back up my entire drive C: and carry it around with me. Thats awesome. And the speed is super impressive over a USB3 connection, pretty close to the advertised speed (It is plugged into a hub for this test, so expect real world direct connection to be slightly higher). I can understand why some people might prefer a USB-C version of this for modern laptops, but the computers Im using all offer USB3 in the full size A port, so no complaints here. I knew what I was getting and was NOT disappointed!

USBメモリ型のSSDです。 SSDながら、言うまでもなく非常にコンパクト&超軽量。発熱もほとんど感じられず、速度も爆速と言うこと無し。 あとは耐久性さえ問題が無ければ、モノとしては最高です。 250GBモデルですが、Windows11のシステムでは232GBと認識されました。 CrystalDiskMarkでは233GBとなっています。 参考値ですが、測定の結果、USB3.0ではReadが395.59MB/s、Writeが308.10MB/s。 USB3.1ではReadが412.64MB/s、Writeが322.18MB/sとなりました。 ※ただしGenは不明。 最大読出速度600MB/s、最大書込速度260MB/s(USB3.2 Gen2の場合)と謳われているので、それと比べるとReadは70%ほどでしたが、Writeはなんと120%超えという結果です。(Readも十分な数値だと認識) 価格面を見てみると、有名メーカー製のUSBメモリ型SSDの250GBモデルが4,500-8,000円程度で販売されており、5,000円前後というのは、あまり優位性が無いように思います。 ただ、性能面では同価格帯の製品を上回っているように見えるので、その点では優位性があります。 手持ちのバッファロー製と比べても非常にコンパクトなので、サイズの面でも極めて優秀。 まだ耐久性については分かりませんが、少なくとも今のところは、強くオススメできるアイテムです。

I was getting tired of cluttering up my workstation with large external hard drives and SSDs, so I was really excited to try this USB-size SSD. The AXE drive comes FAT formatted with 465GB free. It is rated USB 3.2 Gen 2, with 600MB/s read and 500MB/s write speed. It’s nice and small, about the size of a standard USB stick. It comes with a cap that snaps over the USB port and can be stored on the opposite end of the drive so that you don’t lose it. Performance: The performance of the drive seems very fast compared to other external drives that I have used. I actually got 522MB/s write speed at one point. The read speed wouldnt reach quite the 600MB/s rating, but that could because my laptop hard drive couldn’t go any faster. The one form factor disadvantage is the length of the drive is enough that you can accidentally bend the USB connector if you are not careful and try to set the drive down at an angle or if something pushes up on the drive. I have broken other drives this way so I will have to be careful. Some of the other reviews mentioned that the SSD got hot - but I only found that it got slightly warm while I was doing the writing test, nothing abnormal at all. Thoughts: Its a huge 500GB SSD, packed into a device the size of a typical flash drive. The read and write speeds are fantastic, and its so much faster than your standard flash drive. There are really no negatives to speak of - just be careful not to lose it or accidentally bend it.

Thumb drives have become one of the universally-accepted backup and file-sharing options for both PC and Mac users. Over the last 30 years, weve gone through a variety of data storage solutions. As an example, floppy discs and Zip drives have come and gone (in a variety of formats themselves). Data trapped on them today are difficult to read for finding viable hardware; they are also well past the devices stability point for keeping the data degradation and error-free. The USB Thumb drive continues to be viable for data storage and transfer between entities and machines. The drives are large enough that they are not too easily lost. Their size gives the ability to group great volumes of information together on the drives. They can be formatted in a number of different formats (FAT, exFAT, NTFS, and Mac OS Extended, depending on user need). I [personally have 10 hard drives connected to my computer and 27 other backup drives. These drives contain huge amounts of data, including old work data, family movies (a lot) music (more than a lot), digitized books, and more stuff than anyone should expect to have. But I do, and its all segregated by topic. That makes it better organized and an influx on one category doesnt push me onto the next hard drive prematurely and either split my collections or cause me to have to juggle data type between drives. PERFORMANCE: The AXE Memory 500 GB Solid State USB Drive is a high-capacity, fast thumb drive. This thumb drive comes with 465 GB available. A 1.76 GB file transferred averaged 136 MB/second and took less than 20 seconds. Its fast. Its USB 3.2 rated. Cost-wise, you can get a portable drive less expensively. The downside is that these use moving parts, which are subject to different kinds of wear and tear. For some users, this could serve as a complete backup for all of the data on their hard drives. For others, it can be combined with others to segregate that data or act as an archive for, say, all of their family videos. in any case, I like high-capacity drives because I know that I will have room later for additions, and not need to continually buy more and more high-capacity backup solutions and discard older ones. EVALUATION: The high-capacity USB Drive is a welcome addition to my backup solution. Data storage is about more than price. Speed and convenience are crucial. This one gives me a lot of power for the price.

This thing is super fast and durable, I love it!
