Great smart sleep mode

I love that it goes into sleep mode after 10 minutes so I can keep it connected to my iPad the whole time. Returning to active/non-sleep mode takes less than a second without having to disconnect and reconnect.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Not bad

Good performance for the price

It's important to note that the USB-C interface on this device appears to be USB 3.1 Gen 2, which is a quarter of the speed of Thunderbolt 3, but the price reflects this contrary. I haven't used any speed test software, just real experience. It's much faster than the best USB stick I have. It's significantly larger than most USB sticks, but still fits easily in my pocket. I filled it full of movies and took it on a business trip and it worked great. It appeared to read and write at SATA speeds…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

Don't waste your time

Doesn't work with Kwilt backup or Windows 10 computer won't see it either. I sent both back. Looks great, too bad it's crap.

Pros
  • I finally got it
Cons
  • Not the best

If It Works: Computers & Accessories

I bought this item as soon as I saw it and was very excited. I have several Orico cases and use them daily. It arrived quickly, but as soon as I connected it to the drive it was ready. It was very compact and could replace the slow flash drive I carried with me.

Pros
  • Regular Price
Cons
  • Some Errors

great performance, small size

One of the previous reviewers said this drive doesn't work - I suspect it's because unlike most portable SSDs it comes unformatted. On Windows, you need to go to Start -> Computer Management -> Disk Management to "see" the unformatted drive. From there you can right-click and format it. Until you do this, it will not show up as a drive. Once you've formatted the SSD (Windows users will probably want either exFAT or NTFS - exFAT is more compatible with macOS and other operating systems)…

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Functionality
