Seems like a good drive but I'm getting an error

I have this 1TB Seagate External SSD to replace an old fashioned external hard drive. SSDs have no moving parts and are much faster. I was very surprised when I received this disc, it is very small and light. This is tiny compared to older external hard drives. This drive uses USB C, which was also an advantage for me, I wanted to be able to connect it to both an iPad Pro and a Windows laptop. When I first opened it, I connected it directly to my iPad Pro. It seemed to recognize it with noโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Dear

Great, but should have been USB-C

Write speed is decent and device doesn't overheat. The small size makes the device portable, and the unique cable requirement makes portability a chore.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Repair

Pooh. Seagate, what were you thinking?

Seagate made a decision that completely negates the point of this drive. Yes, it's great in every other way: ultra-lightweight, LOVE the soft gray canvas, has an SSD instead of a mechanical drive, bundled software, etc. etc. But JACK: Why didn't you use USB-C? JACK on drive to work with USB-C cable? Have you opted for the outdated Micro USB 3 connector instead? I thought they were gone forever! When we travel in an emergency, when we need a cable, it is not easy to find it. Everything goes over

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • There are downsides

Sleek and gets the job done

The drive was surprisingly small with a little white cloth box. It measures up to 2 3/16" x 2 61/64" x 25/64" with a caliper for those who are detail oriented. At 1.69 oz it is very light. My speed tests with my 2018 MacBook Pro showed 308/361 read/write speeds The connector on the drive itself is a USB 3 Micro B connector, which is becoming increasingly rare as portable drives tend to migrate to the newer USB-C may have issues with this as it may mean having to carry around an extra cable. Toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • High price

Format Tips / Cat Likes It Too

I specialize in technical reviews and have reviewed some great SSDs from LaCie, SanDisk, Western Digital, Samsung and now Seagate. However, this is the first time - a hard drive encased in fabric. I don't quite understand why, but my cat is happily preparing her claws for her new scratching post - NO! Let's see how the drive compares to the competition: VERSATILITY All of the competitive drives I've tested come with direct USB 3.0 and USB-C ports, and two sets of cables. This 500GB model has aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Boring packaging
