ZSLIM

For a little under a year I have used this piece for just my main computer as extra storage that I had been dying for. It has been pretty much fantastic. You get around 980 total storage to use. Its a pretty solid external drive, feels sturdy but is very small. Its definitely had an impact on my games, mainly when booting them up. Downloads speeds are significantly quicker as well which has been greatly helpful when needing things downloaded asap. Only just recently did I use this drive with another computer/laptop when I was going to Glasgow for 3 nights and when I had some work to do. It had a bitlock on it which makes me feel better if anyone ever somehow got this drive and tried using it. It worked great, connected straight away and worked no different to how it does on my computer at home. Its brilliant I think my main love for this drive is the price of this. Much cheaper than most others and feels like it works just as good as them too. Definitely recommend.

Excellent value for money. For the price you pay you get an absolute speedy small SSD. The SSD itself comes with a leather pouch, USB-C to USB-A adapter and a 30CM USB A to USB C data cable. The drive is small, thin and light weight (Think of a Milky Way bar!). I tested this drive on my PC and the speeds given match what has been said in description. I am lucky to to have a motherboard which has a USB 3.2. Gen 2 USB A&C ports at the back. On the front PC case (NZXT H510) I have a USB-C port and USB A port, unfortunately the motherboard does not have a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Front header, so the speeds here are only at 5Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen 1). The first image with speeds at 458 is the front IO ports, this is a decent speed with quick transfers even though it is not at is maximum speed. This was tested at 1 GiB. The second image with the speeds at 509 was tested on the USB 3.2 Gen 2 port 1GiB, as you can see the speeds have increased quite a bit both read and write, with surprisingly writes being slightly faster (but we could probably ignore this was this was only 1 test) The third image shows tests using 16GIB and the speeds are still fast on the Gen 2 port at over 500MB/s The fourth image this time using 10 16 MiB data and the drive speeds increase to it's advertised 550 MB/S impressive! The 5th image shows copying files from a Kingston USB data traveller (128GB) to the SSD 11GB of data (ISO files of Linux OS) this took around 60 seconds and stayed at a consistent speed of 200MB/S very good! The 6th images shows copying from the SSD to my internal NVME (Downloads folder) again 11GB of data and this was being written at 460MB/s (My internal drive reaches reads/writes at around 2GB second). The 7th image shows copying the same files 11GB of data from my desktop PC to the SSD this was being done at speeds of 387MB/s these are very good speeds for a small drive. Lastly, the last image shown at speeds of 44MB/s this occurred when using a USB 3.0 cable so be warned you need a good quality reliable USB 3.2. Gen 2 cable to get the maximum speeds, the speeds may also be affected by external USB Hubs/Docks. --------------------------------- LINUX TESTS --------------------------------- I briefly tested this on Kali Linux copying the same files (no images) I was getting speeds of 360MB/s writes copying from laptop to SSD. (The laptop has an NVME at 2GB/s speed) This was with the drive at around 200GB capacity. Once I cleared this and started at 232GB (The actual disk space useable) I first initially got 700 MB/s for smaller 2GB files and then the speed dropped down to 400/500MB/s writing files to SSD from laptop. This is still very good speed, it took 20 seconds copying those files compared to 10 minutes when I copy from my USB Stick! Overall the price/value ratio is excellent the speed on the drive means I know longer need to wait 10 minutes for files to copy. One of the reasons I purchased this was because of the slow file transfers of USB sticks (looking at you Kingston!), this solves that problem and I can quickly get back to work. The drive is small enough to fit a pocket back. There are no negatives about this, personally I didn't need the leather pouch think it's just additional waste and not environment friendly, but this is a minor personal issue.

Good As Expected

Bought to back up mobile phone. Out of the box the drive is formatted as FAT so it works with PC or laptop but not Android. So connect it to laptop and format to exFAT then it works with PC laptop and Android. Use files or some other file manager on phone to transfer. Nice and compact complete with cable, adaptor for USB to USB C and a fabric pouch to store it all in.

Usually Windows transfers, especially when copying not moving is slow... But this thing? When plugged into the correct port, it's FAST. I reached an absolute peak of around 870MB/s! It was only for a split second but still... It's advertised write speed is 550MB/s. At first I wasn't that impressed, I was getting a rock solid 41.8MB/s, and tbh that's actually better than most thumb drives I've bought over the years, they'll do faster but in very short bursts then it's down to 20MB/s if lucky. But then I decided to use the cable provided and adapter, I then saw the speed I wanted and more. It does slow down, just like everything. But that transfer I've shown is for Borderlands 3, a 93GB game with lots of large and small files, it's a challenging transfer and remember, it's a copy not a cut and it sustained over 450MB/s for at least 60% of the transfer before slowing down. The entire transfer took roughly 15 minutes due to the slow down but that's to be expected, remember, everything will slow down on large transfers. Heat and Cachce can't be sustained for that long so please, be aware of how the technology works. It's a FANTASTIC portable SSD solution for the price and I've actually bought another because I'm that impressed, I also filled the drive up to 20GB left so it is definitely it's advertised size! (Remember 250GB is not 250GB in Windows, it's more around 232GB which is to be expected, it's how the numbers work 1000/1024)

It is a fast portable device, perfect for daily backing up of a laptop. However, what was far from perfect was that it didn't work on arrival. I tried lots of things, and got no response at all from Netac. I finally realised it was the cable they sent which was faulty. I used one that I had already that worked. THEN the password I used for security disappeared. Couldn't find how to reset it. Again, no response from Netac. THEN it got stuck during the updating process, several times. I thought maybe it was full of data but couldn't find how to check. Next day it didn't get stuck on the updating process. I still wanted to find out how to check if the device was full / nearly full. I did not find away and again, no response from Netac. Could have been a great device, but there were no written instructions and no customer service despite a support email provided. I never received a response. Amazon promised a refund. Won't buy from Netac again.

Satisfecho con la compra de este disco duro. La velocidad de transferencia con USB 3.2 Tipo-C Gen 2 es impresionante. He podido mover archivos pesados, de muchos gigas, en segundos, lo cual ahorra mucho tiempo. El diseño es elegante, compacto y muy fácil de transportar. No requiere instalación, solo conectar y usar. La carcasa se siente resistente y de buena calidad, no pesa nada y funciona perfectamente en mi PC y TV. ¡Una excelente relación calidad-precio, lo recomiendo totalmente!

I bought two 1TB external USB d rives but upon using the first one, its capacity was only 31.9 GB!!! I am extremely disappointed

El material se siente de buena calidad. el tamaño es muy cómodo. la velocidad difícil de valorar, pero definitivamente más rápida que otras memorias. El cable viene con micro usb y adaptador para usb c.

Portabilidade boa, desenho, acessórios que vem junto com o produto são úteis e bons.

Ho preso questo SSD Netac da 1TB per avere uno spazio portatile sempre a disposizione e devo dire che mi trovo bene. È davvero compatto e leggero, sta comodamente in tasca e si collega subito senza problemi sia al PC che al tablet grazie ai cavi in dotazione. La velocità è più che buona per spostare documenti, foto e video, sicuramente molto meglio rispetto a una classica chiavetta USB. Ovviamente non è pensato per carichi pesanti o trasferimenti continui di file molto grandi, dove le prestazioni calano un po’, ma per l’uso quotidiano è perfetto: pratico, veloce e facile da portare sempre con sé. Nel complesso un acquisto utile e conveniente.
