In External SSDs

Plugs right in and is usable right now. With this I have as much storage as an xbox can have (roughly 3.3 TB) and it seems sufficient. Western Digital edges out Seagate in overall performance as well.

Small Comes with case Both USB-A and USB-C cables

- Small foot print and sleek design. It has the size and feel of a modern car key fob. Can easily be attached to any kind of system and tucked away discreetly with ease. - USB-C to USB-C connection able to capitalized on the quicker transfer speeds that SSD's are capable of. Still has significant transfer, read, and write through a standard usb 3.0 connection. Product includes both the C to C connection and C to standard usb cables. -Dust flap for the usb-c connection port with a satisfying fit to the overall look and feel of the external ssd.

The product work fine. Robust product, good rubberized protection.

It came from factory formatted as exFat and performance was sluggish. Reformatted to NTFS and runs much faster. Good short Type C cable. I am pleased with my purchase although it displayed at $49.99 but when I added it to cart it was $54.99

Easy set up, worked right off the bat, bought as a faster network storage for my router so it is easier to copy files from one computer to another on the same network. Small, light weight, usb C and normal usb adapter. For most uses, like PC's it'll just self configure and be ready for use when you plug it in, giving you a choice to add i'm assuming encryption sw for the device like other USB thumbdrives, for mac or windows.

Cheep. Sturdy. Convenient USB-C interface with cable and adapter. Not as fast as advertised, but I reached 400 MB/s

An interesting package addressed to me appears at my door once or twice a month. I have no idea what is in the package until I open it and fortunately then I remember ordering the item. Something different happened to me a few days ago. I cut open a mystery padded envelope and found a wee SanDisk portable SSD. I was further delighted when I noticed the drive had a massive one Terabyte capacity. It was less than half the size and a fraction of the weight of a mechanical external USB drive thanks to its M.2 SSD. Cool, I thought; I guessed I might have ordered this late at night and forgotten about it. I soon realized my mystery package was a SanDisk SSD External drive I had volunteered to test for Newegg. YES! I plugged the SSD into my tower using the provided USB-C (external drive end) to the USB Type-A (backward compatible to any standard USB port.) It was instantly recognized. I copied a 2 Gb file from my tower internal SSD to the SanDisk portable SSD external drive, to test the real-world speed of the drive. Compared to the advertised up to 500 MB per second it transferred data at about 120 MB per second, which was about 3X faster than copying the same data to my older external mechanical Samsung external drive. This was a little slower than I anticipated since SSDs generally run from 4 to 10 times faster than a mechanical drive. I should note that my towers USB is the older 3.1 version, which Im sure was a factor. I suspect my disappointment with the speed of data transferred is the result of USB C to USB A cable. Since I do not have a newer USB C to USB C cable, I could not test that transfer speed. The Vault (see the photos) The Samsung external SSD M.2 drive comes with an ingenious encryption scheme they call PrivateAccess with the encrypting software installed on the drive itself. This software will ONLY run off the external drive, further increasing the security of the device. Transferring data to the external drive is a drag and drop procedure, using the drives built-in encryption software. There is no back door into the vault; as you would expect, if you forget your password. The data in the vault is gone forever.

Awesome prize....and good service by newegg...delivery on time.

Usually, when testing a drives speed, the size and number of files has an impact on its overall bandwidth. To test the drive with real world workload instead of synthetic benchmarks, I copied some files from my fastest drive, a PCI flash device. I moved 1000 picture/small movie files at 260MB/s from a PCI flash device to the portable drive over the USB-C port on the back of my motherboard. With peak speeds of around 500MB/s. I moved 21GB of larger game files at about 300MB/s from a PCI flash device to the portable drive over the USB-C port on the back of my motherboard. With peak speeds of over 600MB/s. This device does not appear to be an enclosure where you can take the drive out and put it in a laptop or motherboard. The EX100U is one of the smallest external SSDs. It's only about 0.4 by 1.5 by 3.1 inches. It has a silver-gray exterior with black sides and a USB Type-C port supporting 20Gbps on the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 standard at one end. But just a little bit bigger than the Kingston Portable SSD and ADATA Elite SE880. While the other end has an encircled loop that one can use to link a small cord. You could easily attach it to a carabiner clip. The drive comes with a three-year warranty, which seems typical of external storage devices, but some vendors offer five-year warranties. Drive came formatted exFAT out of the box - could be helpful when using devices that are not Windows-based.
