Good SSD, bad for Pi

This drive is small and works well as a portable SSD. However, some of the comments and ratings are wrong: This drive is NOT suitable for booting the Raspberry Pi. I believe the sector size is the reason: the Pi needs 512 and this drive needs 4096. As far as I can tell this can't be changed and the Pi doesn't see a bootable drive.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Excellent SSD

The cable that came with it was quite short and a bit unstable, which meant the drive went unnoticed with the slightest shake. I replaced the cord with a longer one I had in my box and it's been great ever since. The drive itself works great. The only reason for my 4 star rating is the included cable.

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Expensive

Basic storage with questionable reliability

If you're going to use this as an external storage device then it's fine. But if you want to use it as a raspberry pi boot disk it's iffy, sometimes it won't boot if you overclock the rpi, but my other ssd case works fine with the same settings. Reliability is in question.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Weak set

Bait and exchange of memory chips.

I think a 1TB drive is a very fast 250GB drive. The first 250 GB runs at 300-350 Mbit/s and then drops to around 18 Mbit/s. So when you try to fill the drive, at first it says it will take 45 minutes, but it ends up taking over 10 hours. They're probably using a very fast 250GB chip and adding some older/much slower chips to bring it to TB. I bought two of them, they were the same, the speed dropped to 18MB/s. So they fool the benchmarks but I think it's dishonest so I returned them both.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

A good product; Excellent supplier

The cable came loose from the plug after two months, requiring a new cable to be purchased. Buying is no longer cheap. Still waiting for an answer from the manufacturer regarding the warranty on the old cable. The seller contacted me and refunded part of the purchase price to pay for a new cable that I had already bought. Glory to them!

Pros
  • Completed
Cons
  • Waiting too long

Not USB C (as described above)

I bought 2 of these to replace some old flash drives. I have no issues with weight/portability or storage space (everything is as advertised). But the website description and photos clearly show the USB-C connectors. As you can see from the product shipped to me (x2), the Micro BI connectors then returned the goods for a refund.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Very expensive
