WOW OH WOW !: Data storage

WOW OH WOW ! In no time, so to speak. SSD drives are FAST copied from a full-length video file in about 3 seconds. This copies files as fast as you can sneeze. I can't wait for the day when SSD prices drop to flash prices and storage expands by many TB. One day all computer drives will be solid state. All of them. I use this on an iMac with USB 3.0 for iTunes media storage. It always plugs into the iMac's USB port and requires no external power supply. I want more but I just can't afford it…

Pros
  • Noble design
Cons
  • A few little things

keeps what it should. When you hold it in your hands, it initially feels cheap like there's nothing inside, but that's the beauty of solid state drives. No moving internal parts. I've been beating the crap out of this crap for months with no effect. The last external hard drive I had fell a foot after a full week and its case exploded on the floor. The needles bent inside and I lost everything I was wearing. The Solid State is worth the extra cost.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • other other

Use for Logic & Superior Drummer 3 sample libraries

AFTER YEARS of suggestions from other industry experts, I've decided to move my Logic Pro X and Superior Drummer sample libraries to an SSD. It only took about 20 minutes to move about 300GB+. Now I can load sample libraries SUPER fast and completely transform my workflow. If you use one of these sample libraries as much as I do, you know how difficult it can be to change something as simple as a snare drum. This device just works. It's quiet, SUPER light and has ZERO downtime between…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

OLD USER APPROVED

Edit: I've been using this drive for 4 years now and it's still working. Since then I have recommended this company. I recently bought 8TB for my 2019 Macbook Pro with macOS Catalina and 4TB for Xbox. Thanks to USB-C, the speed is faster than before. Screenshots of Crystal Disk Mark speed test are attached. Initial Review: The VectoTech Rapid 500GB USB 3.0 Portable SSD is a great addition to my storage needs. I've been using it for a while now, so here's a list of pros and cons. Advantages: 1…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Out of fashion

After posting this review I heard from the Vectotech support team. They took my situation very seriously. Unfortunately they couldn't recover the data for me but offered to ship the drive to a location that could. The cost of the restoration would be prohibitive, so I decided against it. Although Vectotech could not recover my data, I found response times there. and the service is top notch. They quickly sent me a replacement drive. The nature of hard drives is such that they can fail. I've had

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Compatibility

WILL NOT WORK WITH NEW MACBOOKS

I spent 5-7 hours setting up this drive for my 2018 MacBook Pro. I also called the company's helpdesk. The bottom line is that the drive gets disconnected EVERY TIME you shut down your Mac. DOWNLOAD EVERY TIME YOU CLOSE THE COVER. The product documentation states that it is compatible with Mac computers. The support rep said it hasn't worked properly with Macs since 2013. The information on the box on Revain and Company's website is incorrect. The device does not work well with new Macbook…

Pros
  • Datastore
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

Works as expected, big difference in game for my Xbox One

Purchased to improve performance in multiple games for my Xbox One (I have the very first version). As a prelude to the review, I'm providing some context for this game to illustrate the implications of adding this SSD. PUBG game, battle royale free for everyone where you fall from the plane onto the map and lead your parachute jump to the landing pad and start collecting supplies. When you log in, the boot process goes through several stages. The first is the pre-lobby, where all players…

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • Not sure

UPDATE FEBRUARY 5TH: I was completely blown away by this company's commitment to solving this problem with grace, diplomacy, care and urgency. . The problem was in the cable. They immediately sent me not one but TWO brand new cables. Replacing the original cable with one of the new ones completely solved the problem and the hard drive hasn't turned off since, even though I've tried everything to turn it off. I RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY AND ITS PRODUCTS. In my experience they have done EVERYTHING…
