    It benchmarks as advertised, and is the size advertised. 466GB formatted with exFAT. Its my go-to thumb drive now.

    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.

    見た目は完全にUSBメモリで、ブリスターに入った状態で封筒に入れられ郵送されるなど、思った以上にコンパクトでした。 USBメモリと誤認されそうですが、PC上では「リムーバブルメディア」ではなく「ローカルディスク」扱いになるので、基本的には頻繁な抜き差しによるデータの受け渡し用ではなく、基本的には本体拡張用として使用するものです。 形式はexFAT、初期状態の空き容量は465GBで、フォーマット不要のまますぐに使うことが出来ました。 USB3.0での接続の場合、公称の約半分の転送速度である110~120MB/Sくらいしか出なかったので、USB3.2の場合でも良くて300MB/Sと割り切ったほうが良いかもしれません。 アクセスランプは赤くて目立つので、視界に入る場合は少し気になりますが、それ以外は特に不満点がないです。 特性上PS4やTVの録画用として常時挿しておく用途などには非常に向いているので、ポータブルHDDなどの駆動音や寿命が気になる方にはオススメできると思います。

    Im glad to see these kinds of usb sticks begin to become more available. Its performance for me has been on par, or in some case slightly better, than promised on the package. Simply getting a full on portable SSD drive will often give you better price to performance and price to gb ratio as well as avoiding bottlenecking with larger transfers, but this and similar usb sticks difinitely win the portability department when space is at an extreme premium. Its definitely good to have at least one of these around if you need to transfer large files now and then. Its leaps. and bounds beyond having drives that use the older tech. The only downside to this particular one and its clones is the fairly cheap feeling body. However it does still feel durable enough to last.

    PS4で、グランツーリスモ7を購入した内部ストレージがいっぱいになり、 ソフトをいくつか消さざるを得なくなりました。 対応とは記載がなかったので心配でしたが、 問題なく認識しました。 退避しておいた、ダウンロード版を再インストールできました。 アクセス中は、赤インジケータが点滅します。

    The manufacturer claims 260 MB/s writes and 600 MB/s read speeds I was only able to get 345 MB/s reads and 280 MB/s write. I saw other reviewers post read speeds of 455 MB/s so I believe the claim of 600MB/s maybe a little bit on the far side but this drive is still blazing fast. The write speed was higher than the claimed 260 MB/s but the reads were slower than the 600 MB/s claim by a large margin. I tested my read speeds from my M.2 drive which I was using on the test and I was getting 2100MB/s reads and 2000MB/s writes on my Western Digital Black NVMe drive. I tested my SanDisk portable NVMe SSD and connected on the same USB 3.2 port was able to get 720 MB/s read and 755 MB/s writes so my system is capable of pushing the limits of the portable USB drive. The drive was recognized as a USB 3.2 device on my Dell desktop 5090 specs: i7-11700T, 32 GB DDR4 3200MHz memory, M.2 NVMe WD Black drive, Windows 10 Pro When copying to/from a NVMe drive connected via a external USB drive enclosure I am able to get over 900MB/s reads and 600 MB/s writes to a Samsung M.2 NVMe V1.3 drive on my USB 3.2 port so the bottleneck is with the portable SSD drive. One thing I noticed when copying large amounts of data to the drive the write speed begins to drop as the drive heats up. I started the test and the drive temperature was 48C and after copying over 100GB the temperature had risen to 70C and while copying the drive speed decreased from around 285 MB/s to 135 MB/s I suspect due to the heat the drive started to throttle the write for thermal protection. The price to storage capacity and the speed makes this a great value because for $45 dollars you get a 256GB thumb drive with blazing speeds in a very compact size. I have several other 256GB thumb drives and they average around 45 MB/s to 55 MB/s nothing close to the 350 MB/s this drive delivers in real world usage.

    Ive got quite a few flash drives, and while I recognize it is marketed/billed as a 500Gb SSD drive, it visually looks like a flash drive to me. The largest flash drive Ive had prior to now is 128Gb, so 500 is large increase. I dont normally need to carry around that many files, but there are a few times where it would helped in the past to have it around. Several other reviews talk about read/write times. Thats less of a concern to me, as most of what I use these kind of drives for is not that intensive, so the lesser speeds work for me. But it is rated higher than I believe the ports on my computer are for, so if you are in need of some faster stuff, this will probably work for you. I do agree with one of the other reviewers and say the plastic shell doesnt feel like the most durable. But it doesnt feel loose connected to my computer, and the USB-A port on the end is not wobbly (as Ive seen with some portable drives). If youre in need of this kind of space in a portable form, this would work well for you.

    I used this Espeon SS+ 250 GB Portable USB Drive to transfer images and videos from my desktop PC to my laptop. The USB 3.2 speeds are fast, and this drive has been extremely reliable. Theres a loophole that can be used to attach this drive to a lanyard for safe keeping. I opted to keep mine secure within a pocket within my laptop case. I found myself wishing this Espeon SS+ 250 GB Portable USB Drive had a retractable USB A connector but the capped design may be better at keeping dust and debris at bay. 4.5 out of 5.0

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.
