💨 Netac 500GB External SSD: Lightning-Fast 500MB/S Speed, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C, Aluminum Build - Zslim Review

I have a significant amount of footage stored on this SSD. I hooked it up to my camera to get footage and it said it would reformat itself. Then I go into the files and delete EVERYTHING. Literally everything. I didn't give it permission to reformat and I had no way to control anything when I connected it to my phone. If you care about something you store on an external hard drive, DO NOT buy it. I am very disgusted with the poor design of this device. Invest a little more in something more…

I was able to upload files to it fairly quickly and play it for testing, but the ONLY complaint is that the device disconnects and reconnects every 20-25 minutes if left plugged in. For me this is a deal breaker (how was I to know it couldn't get any worse) and unfortunately I will most likely be returning it. I believe my laptop's USB port is 3.0 (aka 3.2 gen1?). It's a bit older than this device which I think is 3.1 (aka 3.2 Gen 2?) but I don't see why the device shouldn't be compatible with…

I only received this a day ago so this is a short review. Just wanted to run some "real world" Crystal Disk Mark performance tests. This is running from a USB 3 hub in an Opitplex 7060 running Windows. I copied about 60 gigabytes and it took a few minutes. You get better performance when working with large files compared to many small files. Of course it matters which USB 3+ generation you have. As another reviewer said, it does get a bit warm so keep that in mind if you plan on doing a lot…

Really good drive, metal case helps dissipate heat but hardly feels warm. It has 2 small blue LEDs that blink when active (very small). I tested with a SanDisk Pro 500MB drive and it ran faster in every test. It's not as fast as Samsung 500MB or 1TB drives, but within 5-10% in writing and 5% in reading. And it's a lot smaller and seems more durable. Tested on HP x360 with USB-C and USB-A connections; USB-C is faster, but not by much, especially for casual activities. USB-C packages are always…

500107862016 bytes (500GB, 466GB) copied, 3160.47s, 158MB/s This should answer questions about average speed and capacity. Speed may vary by system, buffer, etc. Write speeds on this system start at 400+ MB/s and then drop to 100-150 MB/s. This is a laptop and uses a USB3 connector, not USB-C. YMMV. It gets hot, but if you look at the internal temperature of your system under load, hard drives can get up to 60°C and CPUs up to 90+C, and far from it. Obviously write operations generate more heat

Since WoW Shadowlands was around the corner and I was recommended to use SSDs for gaming, I decided to order this SSD to see how my games could improve (I play on an HP Pavilion Gaming Edition desktop). with 1 TB 7200 rpm hard drive). I have used this brand's Micro SD in the past and this SSD definitely did not disappoint! Comes with a Type-C converter (so don't buy a Type-C to Type-C cable like I did. The included converter plugs directly into the end of the USB 3.1 cable, allowing you to use…
