> 24 hourIve mainly used this as an external drive to shuffle files around between computers (note that youll need a cable to do this, it doesnt come with one). Its worked great so far. Its got great read and write speeds - the performance Id expect from a SSD. Its light and the normal 2.5 size. Id recommend it.

> 24 hourThis is my review of the Timetec 256GB Portable External SSD. It is rated as a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C device, up to 560 MB/s. It is indeed ultra light, weighing only 40 grams, and came with a USB A to C adapter. When I first plugged it in there was nothing on the computer. It needed initialized with Disk Manager, which seems weird for a consumer external drive, but normal for an internal one. After formatting it and pulling up CrystalDiskInfo it showed 161 power on counts with 298 GB host writes and 334 GB host reads. Did I get a used product? It looked new in the box. Testing with Crystal Disk Mark it did meet their specifications, with 569 MB/s read and 484 MB/s write (over USB 3.1 Gen 2). I transferred about 5 GB of data to it, and it stayed between 75-100 MB/s (source was HDD) and I didn’t notice it heating up. Another test from NVMe drive copied over at 337 MB/s, and again noted no discernible warming. At time of this review the price of $25 is just a hair higher than a raw SATA M.2 drive, but a good price considering you don’t need an external enclosure too. If you need something that is faster than a USB Thumb drive could do quite nicely. With the ability to plug in both USB-A and USB-C this is likely to be a great drive for me to use between different computer systems testing.

> 24 hourWhen you actually use this drive, the initial write speed is 375 MB/s but it quickly drops after around a minute of use, then cant get above 40 MB/s until you unplug the drive, let it cool down, then plug in in again. You know there is something wring with the drive when the copy time starts at 5 minutes, then goes to 20 minutes, then 40 minutes, then 2 hours, then 4 hours then you just give up!

> 24 hourWorks really well and its not especially expensive, but it does the same job as a much smaller thumb drive.
