Title: Excellent for backups!
Review: This is a very reasonably priced 1TB SSD – though, apparently not as quick as advertised…..I intended to use it on my ASUS Zenbook Duo UX482EAR laptop (Win 11 Pro) for backups – in lieu of a slow old HDD I used previously. I tried it first on a USB-A (3.2 Gen 1) port and, as expected, I saw transfer rates at about 460 mbps. I anticipated getting double that when I switched to a Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C 3.2 Gen 2) port – as per the device specification. I didn’t – indeed it was slightly slower at 430 mbps!I tried my own (Samsung) USB-C to C (3.2 Gen 2) cable and I got 1055 mbps – as per the spec – see photo “USB-C-2”. I contacted the seller who confirmed that the device is erroneously shipped with a USB 3.2 Gen 1 cable so can never achieve the advertised speeds. They have given me a partial refund which is more than adequate for me to purchase an alternative cable on Amazon. Given the prompt response, I have changed my rating from 3 to 4 stars. With the new cable, the device works a treat and my backups have dropped to about 3 minutes (from about 40 minutes when using the old HDD). I am pleased with that. I also tested the device successfully on both my Samsung Flip5 mobile and Honor Pad 9 tablet. It was recognised as an OTG disk and everything works as anticipated.The device does get quite warm in use and I note that very large file transfers slow down at about the 100GB mark. I presume this shows the limitations of the device cache. The SSD is a handy size though it would have been nice to get a small carry case or bag. But, for the price, I can’t complain. Looking at the size and shape, I presume this is an M.2 type SSD in an aluminium USB enclosure. Heat dissipation appears to be adequate.So, despite the cable issue, and Amazon’s best efforts to destroy the device in our letterbox, I am still rather chuffed 😀 – the device appears to be robust, reliable, handy and very reasonably priced.If you are intending to buy one – ensure you get the correct cable…….IMPORTANT NOTE.I see a plethora of “Vine” reviews for this product – just one of which noted that the device was running at half it’s advertised speed! This just confirms that reviews in return for a free product (even when sponsored by Amazon) are a total waste of time and misinform potential buyers. Surely some level of due diligence should be required??

Review: I have a small SSD hard drive, and games definitely work better on a SSD drive. You can even run games off this external drive. No complaints here.

Review: Diese kleine SSD ist echt ein Lebensretter, wenn es um Speicherplatz und Geschwindigkeit geht. Der erste Eindruck: Sie ist super leicht, kompakt und dank des Hängeloch-Designs kann man sie sogar an den Schlüsselbund hängen – also mega praktisch, wenn man viel unterwegs ist. Das Beste aber: Die Übertragungsgeschwindigkeit ist wirklich top! Mit bis zu 1050 MB/s kann man riesige Dateien in Sekunden übertragen, und das hat mich echt überzeugt.Das 2-in-1 Kabel (USB-C & USB-A) ist auch ein Plus, weil ich nicht ständig nach dem passenden Adapter suchen muss, egal ob ich es an mein Laptop oder Smartphone anschließe. Bisher hat sie mich in puncto Zuverlässigkeit nicht im Stich gelassen – weder Daten verloren noch irgendwelche Verbindungsprobleme gehabt. Wenn du nach einer tragbaren und schnellen Speicherlösung suchst, ist die ORICO SSD definitiv eine gute Wahl. Nur schade, dass kein kleiner Schutzbeutel dabei ist, aber hey, das ist meckern auf hohem Niveau. 😉

Review: Transferred 400GB. For the first 200 GB the transfer speed was about 400 to 500 MB. This was from LG gram with 2.5TB ssd and 48Gb of ram running windows 11.However after 200GB of transfer the rate dropped to 80 to 100MB. So, this is the indication as to how much cache it has. I was transferring mostly larger digital photo images for first 300 GB.Also, when I tried to use USB C connector the speed was only in 50 to 60MB/s. At least for the LG gram the usb A port can provide about 500MB/s speed but not usb c.So, overall I am pleased with the performance. However, it does get hot after 20 minutes of continued operation and expect a slowdown if you plan on transferring more than 200GB or so. Obviously, you have to choose the port wisely to get the maximum speed.The unit went back to 500MB/s after less than minute cooling down.Good performace product, with few minor caveats.

Review: ssd portatile da 1 Tb (953 Gb reali con formattazione NTFS)dalle dimensioni ridotte (13 cm x 3 cm x 1 cm di spessore) ed un peso di 60 grammi .In dotazione troviamo un cavo lungo 33 cm con attacco usb c / usb c e con adattatore usb aE lo trovo molto comodo, così con un cavo unico posso collegarlo ad un vecchio portatile con porta usb standardHa—una scocca in alluminio (che dovrebbe favorire la dissipazione di calore mentre si utilizza),un anello su un lato per portarlo su un ditoun led indicatore di colore blu quando è alimentato—–Dai test effettuati su una porta usb standard i trasferimenti risultano adeguati a quanto dichiarato
