2TB External USB SSDFast 550MB/s 2-in-1 Dual Drive

I am thoroughly impressed with the performance of this SSK 1TB USB Drive. I primarily use it with my iPhone 15 Plus, and transferring files—whether from my computer or directly uploading data from my iPhone—is incredibly simple, quick, and highly efficient. The drive boasts a premium, excellent build quality that is both stylish and practical. I have already recommended it to several colleagues, and they are all highly satisfied with their usage experience. If I ever need to purchase additional storage, I will absolutely choose this product again!

I waited to write this review until I had used this drive for several months. I regularly use a flash drive for both backup and syncing of my several computers. Routinely I would access a drive 2 to 6 times a day and carry it my pocket most everywhere I go. Most modern flash drives work pretty well for my purposes except they tend to physically fail while they are still functional electronically. I need both type usb a and usb c connectors. Many drives have some kind of swivel or slider mechanism to make this work, and every such drive I have tried has physically failed in one way or another-- won't lock in position, swivel becomes hopelessly loose etc. With this drive there is no slider to wear out. You could lose the usb a cap, but it is slightly magnetic and has never come off in my pocket. The usb c cover is built into the drive and pivots open. So far it seems to be holding up well. The drive is made of metal, feels solid, and moves large files quickly. You can get faster ssds, but this is quite fast and pocketable. It worked just fine on Windows, Mac, and Android. No cord necessary. I got 1 tb for sixty five dollars. That's a good price. I recommend it with no reservations.

Over the years, I have purchased dozens of thumb drives, micro SD cards, and other small storage devices. These have covered the range of brand names to non-brand names and offering storage from 2gb to 2tb. As is often the case, the advertised specs often do match real life performance. This thumb drive is different. I regularly transfer multiple large files between desktops, cell phones, tablets, and such and so I have a good idea of which of my options is akin to watching paint dry and which could be called amazing blazing. This SSK 2tb drive is one of the latter variety. Having compared it to Kingston, Sandisk, Samsung, and perhaps others, it is the best thumb drive that I have found. The bonus is that it offers 2tb of space giving me overhead to avoid immediately deleting files that I may need to carry to other projects. As a bonus, it is manufactured out of sturdy metal that feels costly as opposed to common plastic or composite material. Finally, as others have mentioned, the access to having a standard USB on one side and a C connector on the other side means that I have near universal compatibility between my devices. I love this thumb drive and believe that you may find the same benefits that I have enjoyed.

For the record, I am reviewing the: SSK 1TB USB Drive,External SSD Fast 550MB/s 2-in-1 Dual-Drive Type C+ A USB3.2 Gen2 Solid State ThumbDrive SSD-Stick for iPhone 15/16/PS4/Android Phone/Tablet/Windows/Mac First, this thing is amazing, the solid feel of it in your hand lets you know that it will last. The metal housing is designed very well, the cap fits snugly and it really does the job and quickly. The interesting thing about this is that you do not have to eject the thing, like every other thumb drive I have ever had. There isn't even a menu option for eject. It is large enough to do my transfers easily and the copy rate is quick and I am very happy with my purchase. I think for 1 1TB drive this is pretty amazing for the price. I am sure it will be very durable and last a long time. I can Highly recommend this thumb drive.

I transferred about 1.2 TB of data. Transferring using the USB-C was NOT very fast (like 10-20 MB/s) and at one point it locked-up during the transfer. I was ready to return it. But this thing was so nice and so well made, being metal- I thought I would give it another chance. I re-formatted the drive to exFAT again, and tried the whole thing over using the USB-A 3.2 plug instead. This went much better averaging about 110MB/s. It also did not lock up during the transfer. The only downside is that these large transfers get the drive incredibly hot- I measured 132F (55.6 C). It's actually a good thing it's metal so that the heat can radiate out. For smaller transfers it doesn't get nearly that hot. Not sure why the USB-C was an issue, I didn't worry much about it (and didn't test it again) since the device I will be using this with primarily only has a USB-A 3.0.

550MB/s is super fast with my Windows 11 already. Very dependable and no errors or issues at all. No need to buy more expensive and even faster model. Plug in and it shows up immediately on MY COMPUTER. Small enough and easy to carry even most of the time I just leave it in my USB plug connected to my laptop. Very satisfied and nothing to complain.

Funciona muy bien, irreal que en ese tamaño le quepan los 2TB y la capacidad es real, ya le metí 1.4 terabites y sin problema, es rápido, solo que depende que tu computadora tenga los puertos nuevos y más rápidos para que funcione al 100%, en mi caso transfirió bastante bien 300 gigas a una tasa de 150mb/s pero mi compu ya es vieja, después de los 300 gigas si mermó mucho la velocidad por que se calienta bastante, pero funciona muy bien. Es muy robusto, se siente pesado pero no es grande. Excelente precio lo compré en $2,600 pesos, y está excelente. Que traiga las dos salidas integradas usb a y usb c, está increíble súper versátil y actual.

A velocidade de transmissão de dados é muito boa.

Love this little drive. Lots of memory and having a USB-A and USB-C option is great. Very fast to transfer info.

Honnêtement je ne savais pas qu’il existait une clé USB aussi rapide et avec de telle capacité. Les transferts se font rapidement ( vidéos, photos, musiques ou autres). Je suis très satisfait de mon achat.

Very very good product 👌
