    USBでSSD・・・このサイズで250GBとは・・・(00: 当方の環境だとUSB3.0(3.1Gen1)しか無くて申し訳ないですが 一応、測定結果をば・・・(^^; 250GBをこんなに手軽に持ち運べるとは驚きです。

    従来のUSBメモリ感覚で使用できるSSDメモリ。 高速で書き込み、読み込みができ大容量データの持ち運びに重宝しています。 ただ、過熱しやすく寿命が案外早いかもと思うこともあります。 値段に対して高級感が無い外観なのが残念なポイントですが満足度高いです。

    This thumb drive actually has a decent transfer speed for a USB 3.2. Most thumb of this type has similar capacity but this one is a bit slow for a USB 3.2. Please be aware that you do need the correct port to utilize the full transfer speed. This is a great thumb drive to have for if you need a quick transfer of larger files or a back up for pictures and videos. Although 250 gb is a bit unorthodox compared to many other flash drives, pictures and videos probably could easily fill up 250 GB. I would say this is pretty nice to have some more important files stored safely on a thumb drive as back up if needed. The first thing I will say is that this thumb drive is a little thicker than your average thumb drive but it is still decent size for 250 gb. It is thin enough where it will not take up too much space. It does have a small loop I would say you could be a string through so you can put this on your keys or on a lanyard. This one is easier to put a string through because it is not one of those really small tight loops. In terms of scratching, this does not scratch as easy as say metal case thumb drives. The cap stays on pretty well however when you do not have any place to put the cap if you have the thumb drive open. You cannot put it on the back end like some thumb drives. I did do a test and verified that this thumb drive indeed has 250 gigabyte capacity and the transfer speed is not as fast as another thumb drive of similar specification. Again all varies as well on the port you plug into as well (if you are using 2.0 or 3.0. You have plenty of space to work with and transferring should not take too long, but you may be able to fill up 250 gb pretty quickly depending on the file sizes. For your average user, it will most likely take some time to fill up all the way unless you take a ton of pictures every day. Overall this is a nice thumb drive to have for storing pictures and videos but be aware with the sizes of videos and pictures you may actually fill this up pretty fast. Compared to other usb thumb drives, it has a super fast transfer speed. The only minor down side is that this thumb drive is a little thicker compared to many other thumb drives, but it makes up for it by have a decent transfer speed. The white color is prone to getting dirty and yellowing from the sun so avoid that.

    This is the fastest USB drive I have. I am amazed at the speed at which you can read or write to this drive compared to the regular flash drive. Photography is my hobby and I shoot in RAW file format and also record videos, so the files are large in size. This drive will help me quickly backup the files while on the road. And when it is time to copy those several GBs of files to my computer it takes only seconds instead of minutes. To connect this drive to a MacBook or Windows laptops with only USB-C ports, an adapter is required. 1. Tested using 2012 Mac Mini, i7, USB 3.0 port. Copied four .MOV type files, total 1.4GB in size. Seagate 2TB Backup Plus (ExFAT) - 40 seconds Thumb Drive 16GB (FAT32) - 30 seconds Espeon 250GB (ExFAT) - 4.7 seconds (8.5 seconds for 2.8GB) 2. From a Mini PC, Celeron processor, USB 3.0 port, 4.06 GB files took 12.4 seconds to write to the drive Tested a couple more times, I noticed 300-330 MB/s write speed. The advantage of this drive besides the speed is its form factor and so the price could be justified. Compared to the Sandisk SSD (USB 3.1) drive, this one is cheaper and is USB 3.2. If you are ok with a slightly bigger form factor, there are other options. For instance, Sandisk offers a 1TB SSD drive for twice the price (I have seen it on sale for $99), but almost double the read/write speeds, 4x storage size and 5 year warranty. Plus it comes with a USB-C/A cable, helps connect to MacBooks without using an adapter. If you are looking for a high speed USB drive, I highly recommend it. Hope this review is helpful.

    I really like this drive. Its pretty small, and even though its plastic it built well. I havent had heat issues, and speeds are good. It comes pre-formatted exFAT, and has 465GB available for use. I ran a benchmark from a USB 3.2 port and will include a screenshot here, but real-world transfer speeds are good with this. Also, USB 3.0 ports work fine too, just a little slower.

    This is an extremely fast USB drive that packs in a very high amount of data. Read/write speeds are above expectation and with some posturing, this can be used as a secondary drive for a smaller device with USB-A ports. The limitation on this drive is your USB-A port, not the drive as I found out with my slower desktop 3.0 versus my faster laptop 3.1. With my usual load, I can easily get 220 MB/s write which is far better than what I get with other drives. The price is for the speed and package size, unlike the more commodity USB drives which are speed limited, this really does get the speeds around the premium one pays for this.

    The Espeon SS+ 500GB Portable Solid State USB Drive can transfer data very quickly, faster than is rated Up to 600MB/s Read, 500MB/s Write It is capable of achieving read speeds of 638 MB/s and write speeds of 623 MB/s on a synthetic benchmark. It is not just fast on benchmarks, since it reached 642 MB/s read and 623 write speeds while transferring data in Windows 11 over USB 3.2 Gen2 and Gen2x2. When transferring 200 GB of video files it reached a respectable average write speed of 465 MB/s, making one of the fastest USB A flash drives around. The Espeon SS+ 500GB Portable Solid State USB Drive internal components should be identical to the ones used in SATA SSDs. The controller is modified for low power consumption and USB interface connectivity. I tested the Espeon SS+ 500GB USB Drive on a several desktop computers and three Windows laptops. Devices with lesser speed, such as USB 3.1 or USB 3.0, might not be capable of achieving the max speed this USB flash drive can deliver. The Espeon SS+ 500GB USB Drive is fast, with faster speed that a regular USB flash drive. I should be able to transfer files mighty fast. But this USB drive would have been more useful with a USB-C interface, since it would have worked on mobile devices (Android, MacOS, iPad, etc.), that only have USB-C interfaces...of course you could use an adapter if available. The Espeon SS+ USB Drive is one of the fastest USB A flash drives and it matches and exceeds speeds found on SATA SSD drives, but with the convenience of a flash drive size and portability and a fair price. ============================================================================ I also tested the The Espeon SS+ 250GB and it is also fast, since it exceeded write speed, but did not reach 600 MB/s read speed. The Espeon SS+ 250GB Portable Solid State USB Drive transfer data quickly and it is rated at Up to 600MB/s Read, 260MB/s Write It is capable of achieving read speeds of 451.56 MB/s and write speeds of 446.46 MB/s on a synthetic benchmark. It reached higher write speeds than the advertised 260 MB/s. Even when transferring 62.7GB it maintained an average write speed of 328 MB/s and it could hit up to 362 MB/s. The read speed did not reach near the rated 600 MB/s and when transferring files in a real work environment it did worse. It only reached 391 MB/s with a sustained 362 MB/s read speed. I tested the Espeon SS+ 250GB USB Drive on a couple of desktop computers and three laptops, which are all capable of USB 3.2 Gen2 or USB 3.2 Gen2x2 speeds.

    I have included an image of my read/write speeds, which are great for a drive in this price range. The size makes the drive much more versatile, making it perfect for moving around large files for video editing or secure local backups. It does get warm when writing large files, which likely would cause thermal throttling of the speed if moving a lot of data at once. For the price, I think it is a great purchase. If it fails prematurely, I will update this review.

    見た目は安っぽいUSBメモリ、しかし中身は立派なSSDです。 測度を確認しましたが自作PCで使用している2.5インチのSATA接続SSDとほぼ同じです。 CDIでもきちんとドライブとして認識されているので使い方に迷います。 画像やOfficeデータの保存には勿体ない、いっそOSを入れてしまって起動DISKとして使いたいくらいです。 itunesでのiphoneバックアップや、Cドライブのバックアップ、その他250GBあるので速度を生かして使用したいです。 お勧め商品です。

    I have a computer that is light on the internal storage. It is an off-brand computer that I dont want to have to bother with spending a lot of time on figuring out the schematics on. When I saw this drive, I was eager to try it as this seemed like the solution for me. I could just pop this stick in when I needed extra space. This is an actual external SSD drive, not just a standard USB drive. I figured this drive would be the closest thing to having an internal SSD. This drive uses a USB 3.0 port to connect to your computer. Then you can use it. It comes formatted for Windows and is really plug and play. I popped this in and then ran CrystalDiskMark and posted the results with this review. They are consistent with what other reviewers have posted. Now I have the space I need with the speed of an internal drive. I am very happy with this purchase and I would get another one in a heartbeat.

Notes

Optimal Speeds Optimal Speeds will require USB 3.2 Gen 2 SuperSpeed+ ports. Also compatible with older ports but the speed will be bottlenecked by the port"s speed limitation. (older ports ie: USB 3.2 Gen 1 SuperSpeed regular, USB 3.1, USB 3.0, USB 2.0)
Car Navigation/Audio Our drives ship preformatted with Optimal exFAT Format. Due to limitations of Car Navigation/Audio, it may require a reformat to the older FAT32 format for compatibility. Speeds will also be limited to the port maximums.
PS4/PS5 Compatibility Can be used for PS4/PS5 backup storage and PS4/PS5 internal HDD Update. Drives with 500GB capacity or more can also be used for storage expansion. Less than 500GB is not supported. (requires PS4 software 4.50 or later)
Industry Standard Capacity Calculation based on 1GB=1000000000 bytes. Some of the listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions. Actual usable storage space will be slightly less than listed.
Backup Your Data Always backup your data on multiple sources for safe keeping.
