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 liked the small form with the storage capacity. Im using it on a network server for dedicated shared storage. A really nice feature is its portability: if my server goes down, I can swap it into another computer and still have access to my files. I cant vouch for is speed because its on a slow server, but plenty fast enough to back up images and documents.

Had this item for about 2 weeks. Therefore, I cant comment on reliability and durability. It worked right out of the box and it has very good speed. Those USB flash drives are way too slow; this one is fast. Would be ideal if it was about 20% smaller but its already one of the most compact SSDs on the market. Nice plus that it comes with a USB C adapter. Happy to get rid of my ridiculously slow flash drive. Good price.

Economical 3.0 drive, my read/write speeds in an older HP laptop were 343/170, so decent, but not impressive. I planned to use this for sample playback libraries but, I decided to use my 2nd internal ssd for those, and a Samsung external ssd for recording, so Buffalos a great backup external drive, but it wasnt exactly what I was expecting... 4 stars...

Its a 2.5 sized external SSD, probably running over a SATA interface, comparing to much smaller NVME based SSD, this drive is much bigger and looks out of date. But it does work fine as advertised.

I got this for my digital ps5 and it works great . No issues so far

I understand that its an SSD device, but since it comes in the USB stick form factor I judge it as such and its so much faster than any USB stick Ive used! Very impressed!

Backup home computer

I have used Buffalo NAS drives for years without any issues. Needed ssd storage for flac files for my vehicle sound system. This drive is bullet proof so far. I have thousands of songs and still have boatloads of storage. Even got it on a flash sale for cheap.

Never got to use it and Buffalo refunded cost. 4 stars because I think it would have worked fine, but is not useful to leave attached to iMac or PC to function as a permanent startup/boot drive. A single short sentence noted not to leave it connected such as a thumb drive. So I bought a smaller cheaper PNY SSD which allowed me to save my old mac with an old dying HD. Buffalo Customer service was great to work with but device was not right for my application. So dont dump your old mac because the HD do es, just add an external SSD and boot up from that. Still working.

This works great for the money. Storage is good and it is very fast. The only complaint is the plastic casing is very light weight and feels cheap.
