Timetec 256GB 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

Excellent with ultra-fast transfers on PC and allows direct recording from Samsung Ultra to SSD

Very fast for a thumb drive, with speeds that are as-advertised. Heavier than your typical drive and I wish they sold a version without the USB-A connector just so it would be smaller. Nice metal body and feels like a quality piece. Price for what you get is very reasonable...and did I mention it is fast?I don't understand why anyone buys the other SSD that can be selected here, the TP1 with a cord. Half the speed, bigger, and costs about the same. The mini drive is the better deal.

I had an unusual need. I wanted to use software on several different computers and wanted the data files to move with the software (in a non-networked environment). I have been using a USB flash drive for this purpose for several years. Flash storage would get slower and slower as the thumb drive was used. It also slowed the software down due to the transfer speed of the thumb drives.I then purchased this external SSD what was USB 3 connected and installed the software and data drives. What an amazing difference this made. The higher transfer speeds were immediately obvious and pleased me greatly. This SSD was well made, felt solid, had good quality cable, and was a convenient size. The SSD has a female USB-C interface. A patch cable (good quality) was supplied with a male USB-C on one end and a regular USB-A on the other. A connector to convert USB-A to USB=C was also supplied.I am running this on Windows 10 where it installed immediately without issue. This SSD appears as another disk drive to my system. When I was done using the Flash drive, I would right-click and select EJECT before removing the thumb drive. With this SSD, no EJECT appears when I right-click the drive icon in Windows Explorer. However, I found an EJECT in the task bar from Windows 10 that worked just fine. My one suggestion would be have documentation with the SSD that talks about how to safely remove it from your system.This was an excellent purchase, a tremendous value for the money, and I would certainly buy this again.

Ridiculous! The item received was not new, and it is not in new condition! It has clearly used by someone else and this is being re-sold as new when it isn't. The packaging bottom tape was re-sealed, the first clue that someone used it before me.The proof it's already been used is it has been powered on 8 times according to CrystalDiskInfo. It has a 'System Volume Information' folder on it which was created by somebody elses Windows OS dated 05-14-2024, however I just received it on 08-07-2024 at 8:30AM. The see through plastic window is scratched and scuffed, and the metal body housing has an obvious spot where the finish is worn off like the drive was smacked against something hard.This was my first ever TimeTec purchase and I'm not impressed one bit due to the condition of the SSD drive! I'll be returning this as it's not worth the $28.99 I paid with the condition it's in, and I won't bother with a replacement, and I will instead buy an SSD stick drive from a different brand where I actually do get NEW products sent rather than being sold someone else's already used item that has very obvious wear and tear on it.

When I went to format for Apple it would only format in 2 types but not apls.

I am very happy with my purchase of the Timetec 1TB Portable External SSD. The item has an aluminum body and appears to be very sturdy. It is compact and easy to use. I bought it as a back up external hard drive to store important files on.The delivery was fast and without any issues. Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Fast ,and durable SSD!Love the Aluminum shell!

Owned it for a month so far, and for a 2TB SSD this seems to be a pretty good price. Haven't had any issues. It's much smaller than I thought it would be (which is good) and it has a sleek design. Very happy with it.Windows will often say there are corrupt files or issues with the drive, then after it runs a brief scan it says no issues were found. Not really sure if it's a problem with Windows or the item itself but something worth noting.If you plan on using the cable that comes with the product, just know it's very short so the SSD is likely to just hang from the cord (again it is very light)
