Netac ZSlim 1TB Portable SSD, Up to 550MB/s Read and 450MB/s Write, USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-C External Solid State Drive, 30g Aluminum Alloy Storage for Windows PC, Mac and Android

This Netac portable SSD is a convenient little external drive for backups, file transfers, and carrying data between systems. It is much faster and more durable-feeling than a basic USB flash drive, and the small metal enclosure makes it easy to keep in a bag or tech kit. The USB-C connection is also convenient for newer laptops and desktops. The 250GB size is best for documents, installers, project files, and moderate backups rather than huge media libraries. For a compact everyday portable SSD, though, it works well and feels like a good value. I was satisfied with it.

With WoW Shadowlands just on the horizon and the recommendation of utilizing solid state storage for the game, I decided to order this SSD to see just how much my gaming could improve (I game on an HP Pavilion Gaming Edition desktop with 1tb 7200 RPM HDD). I have used Micro SDs by this brand in the past and this SSD was def not a disappointment! Comes with Type-C converter (so do not buy a Type-C to Type-C cord like I did. The converter they supply will plug right onto the USB 3.1 end of the cord so you can utilize a Type-C port for data transfer). A leatherette sleeve is also included and works wonderfully - the drive fits nice and snug inside of it! Arrived on time and as described! For such an amazing value, you can't beat it! It gets a smidge warm when using it to game, but doesn't get too hot (do not keep it in the case when in use. It is aluminum and this will cause extra heat). Transferring files was FAST! WoW is currently over 62 GB and it transfered the entire slew of files for that, my add-ons, and WoW Classic in less than 10 mins! I highly recommend NeTac for all of your electronic storage needs. They sport a great value with quality products. 5 well earned stars!

Excellent small hard drive. I have had it for about a year now and it works well. No issues. The size is perfect to carry everywhere. It’s very light. I end up buying one for everybody in my office.

So the issue I have with it the reason its only 4 stars nothing to do with how bad the product is. Just some games can make the ssd really hot it has no little fans in it nothing to keep it cool. So if your playing a game poorly optimized it will make your ssd warm to the touch lol. I was playing Hell Blade game looks amazing but sadly doesn't work well on this. Runs fine just gets warm after a few mins. Other then that no complaints to the ssd.

This product was great, speed is nice, space is great and its not that expensive, payed 100 dollars while many others are 170 or above.

Had I written this review in the first year of use, it would have been 5 star. Very small, lightweight and portable and easy to use. I set this up on my macbook pro as a time machine drive and it worked very well. But 14 months after purchase, it's suddenly dead. I did not expose this to the elements, no heat/water or shock. It mostly sat on my desk connected to my docking hub. The mac sees the drive in the Disk Utility, but cannot repair or mount it. The blue lights turn on occasionally, but there is no other sign of life. I've got 14 months of back up on this little drive and now it's about as useful as a stale pack of chewing gum and pretty much the same size. I'm very disappointed, and while I don't expect a drive to last forever, I would certainly don't think it's unreasonable to assume an SD drive will not fail after barely one year of use.

amazing. the storage is good for downloading games or other content if you dont have enough storage on your PC. All you have to do is plug it in your USB, it doesn't need to be charged or anything. Very easy to use.

Really a nice drive, the metal case helps dissipate heat, but it barley get warm to the touch. It has 2 small blue led's that blink with activity (very small). I've tested against SanDisk Pro 500MB disk and this tested faster in every test. It not quite as fast as Samsung 500Mb or 1Tb drives, but within 5-10% on writes and 5% on reads. And it's much smaller and seems to be more durable. Tested on HP x360 with USB-C and USB-A connections; USB-C is faster but not by a huge about, especially random activity. in bursts USB-C is always faster. But I primarily bought to try the new rPi USB boot for rPi4, after updating eeprom boot to version dated 2020-06-15; and it worked with no issues, now my rPi has no micro SDcard - VERY happy with it. Wanted smallest possibly drive, and this fits the bill, will buy 2 more and convert more rPi's to this faster more reliable drive. For the price (250mb & 500mb) this is the best priced/performance you can buy (the 1Tb could be a little less expensive).

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.

La laptop con la memoria llena es más lenta. Éste aparato me sirve para transportar mis trabajos sin alentar la lap

Ho acquistato questo SSD portatile Netac da 500GB per espandere le potenzialità del mio Steam Deck e devo dire che i risultati sono stati eccellenti. La velocità di lettura e scrittura è notevole, permettendo un'esperienza fluida e senza rallentamenti, anche con carichi di lavoro importanti. L'ho trovato estremamente utile per installarci sopra Windows 11: il sistema operativo gira in modo rapido e reattivo direttamente dall'unità esterna, il che mi permette di trasformare la console in un vero PC portatile ogni volta che ne ho bisogno, senza intaccare la memoria interna dedicata a SteamOS. Il design è compatto e sembra molto resistente, ideale da portare nello zaino insieme alla console. Se cercate un modo veloce ed efficace per gestire il dual boot o semplicemente per avere più spazio per i vostri giochi e software su Steam Deck, questo SSD è una soluzione promossa a pieni voti.

Indeed, this is the best portable SSD I have ever purchased. And what surprise me is that it came along with a fast USB C, end to end high speed data transfer cable along with a usb c OTG adapter. Please I duly recommend this to anyone in need for external portable SSD. Aside all of this, the driver who delivered this item to me has the best heart of patience I have ever seen because I missed the package on delivery and the second time, he was willing by any means for me to get it on the second delivery date. Thanks Amazon, Thanks Aramex.
