BUFFALO External SSD 1TB - Up to 600MB/s - USB-C - USB-A - USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Compatible with PS4 / PS5 / Windows/Mac) - External Solid State Drive Stick - ‎‎SSD-PUT1.0U3B

I recently bought a gaming laptop with all the latest bells and whistles (intel 12th gen, 30 series GTX). It has 3 USB-C ports, 2 USB 3.2, and 1 Thunderbolt 4. Since this product has USB 3.2 in the title description I started using it with those ports. To my dismay, I was not getting the advertised speed on the first two USB 3.2 ports. I was only getting 250MB/s at most on a large 800GB file transfer. I was about to send this back when I thought to try it on the Thunderbolt 4 bolt. I ran a CrystalDiskMark test and boom, 600+MB/s. I also got it on my file transfers as well. Im now a happy customer and recommend the product. It is very good value and performance for the money. Just beware the port!

For the price this SSD is everything Ive been looking for and more. It definitely works as advertised and will get a 1tb one next payday..

Loads fast and as a DJ I need that.

Backup home computer

Very fast, excellent read/write speeds.

The case is plastic and feels like lego put together by a toddler but it works and it is fast.

Its been about a couple of months and still serving useful. It works great on both my PS4 and Series S. My only complaint is when transferring games (large files) itll definitely lose speed. Does get ptetty warm btw, but other than that its a decent external SSD thats under $100.

Let me start by saying that for the price I paid, I was whole heartedly expecting this thing to be horrible, but I was wrong. I am so glad I gave this seemingly no name brand a try, as this is better than 98% of the USB drives available by known brand names. I cringed when I plugged it into my computer not knowing what to expect, and once recognized, drivers installed and it opened a new window I was delighted to find it has a full usable 1.81TB of storage space (in one contiguous block). I then proceeded to back up all of my data between 9 of my computers, and the slowest data write speed was 26MBPS, however it was on an old laptop computer that was dying, and I was barley able to boot it into safe mode to recover data; on my hp elite desk mini, I plugged it into a USB 3.0 port and started downloading data, about 500 GB of data and it only took about 3 min to transfer, it peaked at .99GBPS but averaged 600MBPS. BLOWN AWAY! HIGH QUALITY! GO BUFFALO! If your reading this review and still questioning if you should buy this because of the brand name, let me give you some good advice, coming from the IT guy for a company. BUY IT YOU GOOF! In my opinion this is the best value for USB storage on amazon.

Liked it so much, I bought a few.

You read these reviews like I did. So let me sum it up. THERE IS NO BETTER USB DRIVE THAN THIS! Every other one is too slow, or too big. One drawback is the port is ONLY USB 3. speed. The USB C is added with an adapter so its not TRUE C speed or control. But it does fit my MAC. And transfer speeds and cache are legit for USB 3. 2TB drives can be had for much less. But they have NO SPEED. It will take the cheap ones DAYS to copy 2TB. You can clone an entire drive with this or make a working VM in a couple hours. I am buying more for back up and archive of drives. much cheaper and better than a pile of clunky large disks for stuff you may NEVER need again. Back up, clone, archive, and put it in a safe place. Brilliant. And for the price EXCEPTIONAL. This is the #1 BEST and I have sent back a half dozen others as JUNK.
