JOIOT 250GB Portable External SSD,Portable SSD USB 3.2 Type C Ultra-Light External Solid State Drive, Mini Portable Solid State Drive for Mac Windows Android Linux(250GB)

Bueno, funcional, barato compacto y perfectamente portable. Justo lo que yo queria

After upgrading to a 256 from a 128 I needed something to store my old SSD. Well this is just what I wanted & needed. Yes, its USB 3.0 🤷‍♂️, Yes, its ALL-METAL housing, YES it fits 25 & 50mm M2.-SATA. "AND" it's no bigger than a zippo! 😉 Its great. All you need is in the packaging you take care of business. The only thing I needed was a case to travel with it and any mini earphone zipper case is perfect. After installing the old SSD in the enclosure there is even enough room to put some thermal pads, 0.5mm over the chips and NOT interfere with closing it up. While the USB 3.0 speeds might not be what USB-C is it works just fine for travel Laptop storage. IF you have a phone that supports OTG get the USB-C ver' Considering this is somewhat older tech by todays standard... you could... buy an SSD + this enclosure + a case & have a portable storage for less then say a 'WD 1tb mechanical' drive...😁😘 All in All I have 2 of these and they both work just fine for what they are. A place to store data on the go and fit in a pocket/bag then move on. PS yes... they do get a little warm after LARGE file transfers. But that's normal for silicon chips inside a metal box🤣

I mostly use this to edit video off of. Store the files on it, and it feels about as fast as my internal SSD. Highly recommend. Purchasing another! (250gb version) ---update--- The above purchases were great, so i gave them to friends and bought the bigger version for myself. As soon as I plugged it into the computer, I've been having issues. Froze up my computer, crashed it. Super weird, because that's never happened by plugging in an external drive. I reinstalled my version of windows after, because everything got a little funny. I exchanged it for another 1tb version, and I'd say it works about half the time. I don't know if it's quality control, or the smaller sizes just work better, but really confusing. ------------------update again---------------- After getting into contact with the manufacturer, I believe issues are resolved! Bonus points added back for customer service, and day 1 of testing replacement drive things seem to be working as they should. Pretty stoked again!

This is a good drive while it works. I've had no issues booting Rasberry Pi OS on my Rasberry Pi 4, unlike some other reviewers. I have had it on 24hrs with my Raspberry Pi for a little over a year. Until it failed last week (1 year, 2 months). It still works, but it is a bit hot while on and locked itself into a read-only mode.

After constantly having to delete or move files EVERY time Windows needed updating, I looked for a solution. This little drive was the perfect fit. It did take several tries to get it installed (could be user error). I was able to move things to the drive to free up space. Rather than remove and re-install the device, I chose to mount it on my laptop. Great solution!
