Review on ORICO 500GB Ultra-Mini Portable SSD - Read/Write Up To 540MB/S - USB3 by Carnell Bollwitt

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Seems to work (mostly)

Did a test run by uploading thousands of pics and music. Using the provided USB-B port (3.0 port) to USB-C and moving files from my PC to the SSD, I averaged around 150Mbps speeds. However, the connection is unreliable - as with some With previous hard drives, I have to avoid setup stutters where I have to queue up a lot of data to be transferred or I'll start crying later. It was a lot slower. with the cable that came with my phone - only 15Mbps but a bit more stable. Unfortunately, the included USB-C to USB-C cable didn't work with any combination of devices, ruining my dreams of simple OTG backups. I'll try Connector 3.0 later. It's only day one, so I can't speak to the accuracy yet.

Cons
  • Expensive insurance
