TIMETEC PREMIUM SSD SERIES 2.5" SATA SSD M.2 SATA SSD M.2 PCIe 3 SSD M.2 PCIe 4 SSD Review: Excellent experience - I had an unusual need. I wanted to use software on several different computers and wanted the data files to move with the software (in a non-networked environment). I have been using a USB flash drive for this purpose for several years. Flash storage would get slower and slower as the thumb drive was used. It also slowed the software down due to the transfer speed of the thumb drives. I then purchased this external SSD what was USB 3 connected and installed the software and data drives. What an amazing difference this made. The higher transfer speeds were immediately obvious and pleased me greatly. This SSD was well made, felt solid, had good quality cable, and was a convenient size. The SSD has a female USB-C interface. A patch cable (good quality) was supplied with a male USB-C on one end and a regular USB-A on the other. A connector to convert USB-A to USB=C was also supplied. I am running this on Windows 10 where it installed immediately without issue. This SSD appears as another disk drive to my system. When I was done using the Flash drive, I would right-click and select EJECT before removing the thumb drive. With this SSD, no EJECT appears when I right-click the drive icon in Windows Explorer. However, I found an EJECT in the task bar from Windows 10 that worked just fine. My one suggestion would be have documentation with the SSD that talks about how to safely remove it from your system. This was an excellent purchase, a tremendous value for the money, and I would certainly buy this again. Review: tiny yet big UPDATED AGAIN - this drive is outstanding. its small, light, quiet, fast and 2TB. I am using it as a backup drive but I may purchase a second one for travel. highly recommend this item. 9/11/23 UPDATE- The drive stopped working last week. I have changed the cord, tried other laptops but no luck. I contacted Timetec last week to request assistance but I have not heard back. I will report back on any progress. 9/30/23 update- I contacted Timetec customer service about the issue. They sent a prepaid label to return the drive. A replacement was sent after the return was received. I’m back to work with this drive. Customer service is pretty good. Very prompt and clear replies. ## Features - External SSD has breakthrough Read and Write Speeds: Sequential Read Speed up to 550MB/s and Write Speed up to 500MB/s, saving time on transferring / loading videos, photos, and games. - This high-speed External Solid State Drive uses the fast USB 3.2 Gen2, backward compatible with USB 3.0, USB 2.0.
