Timetec 1TB Portable External SSD USB3.2 Gen2 Type C Up to 550MB/s Ultra-Light Aluminum Mini External Solid State Drive with USB C to A Cable/USB A to C Adapter for Desktops/Laptop/Mac/Mobile - Black

I like how this is bigger than a thumb drive so it can’t get lost in a backpack. It comes with both usb adapters for usb A and C. Transferring data from PC seems fast for what I have.

It aint the fastest SSD I own, but its fast enough for a project that includes delivery to client on a Hard-Drive. Ninety percent of the time, clients dont send the drive back to me.

My macbook is brand new now!

This 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.

This product is much faster than a flash drive. If you use it to create a system image for a full backup, on Windows 11, first format it to NTFS. The speed I got was around 100 mb/sec. Its a real bargain for the speed and amount of storage.

First thing I noticed when removing this drive from its box, was the fact it was super light, which is usually one big red flag. But I gave it a chance and tested it anyway. It showed up on Windows 11 with the correct size being reported (1TB). However, when I started copying data to the drive, thats where the fun started. Constant disconnections, either using its own USB-C to USB cable or with its included USB-C adapter. No matter which port on my (brand new gen 3) laptop I used, the drive disconnected. To make the test fair (you never know, maybe my brand new laptop needed some new drivers or something), I also tested it on my 2 year old desktop computer. Same results. I wasnt even able to run a write/read speed test, as the drive disconnected before the test completed. Also, brand new out of the box, it already showed some signs of being used, with data already being transferred to it, and some power on count registered too. I suppose I got a return from someone else who also experienced the same issue with this drive I did. On top of that, the data I managed to transfer to this drive before it disconnect was corrupted and thus unreadable. Drive returned right away. Be safe and stick to known brand instead.

it works well very tiny and ultra fast

Exelente

Very easy worked great
