Netac 500GB Portable SSD USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps, Type-C) External Solid State Drive Backup Slim Portable Drive for File Storage/Business Travel Essential, Rapid Read & Write Low Noise, Zslim

This Netac portable SSD is a convenient little external drive for backups, file transfers, and carrying data between systems. It is much faster and more durable-feeling than a basic USB flash drive, and the small metal enclosure makes it easy to keep in a bag or tech kit. The USB-C connection is also convenient for newer laptops and desktops. The 250GB size is best for documents, installers, project files, and moderate backups rather than huge media libraries. For a compact everyday portable SSD, though, it works well and feels like a good value. I was satisfied with it.

This product was great, speed is nice, space is great and its not that expensive, payed 100 dollars while many others are 170 or above.

amazing. the storage is good for downloading games or other content if you dont have enough storage on your PC. All you have to do is plug it in your USB, it doesn't need to be charged or anything. Very easy to use.

Excellent small hard drive. I have had it for about a year now and it works well. No issues. The size is perfect to carry everywhere. It’s very light. I end up buying one for everybody in my office.

Had I written this review in the first year of use, it would have been 5 star. Very small, lightweight and portable and easy to use. I set this up on my macbook pro as a time machine drive and it worked very well. But 14 months after purchase, it's suddenly dead. I did not expose this to the elements, no heat/water or shock. It mostly sat on my desk connected to my docking hub. The mac sees the drive in the Disk Utility, but cannot repair or mount it. The blue lights turn on occasionally, but there is no other sign of life. I've got 14 months of back up on this little drive and now it's about as useful as a stale pack of chewing gum and pretty much the same size. I'm very disappointed, and while I don't expect a drive to last forever, I would certainly don't think it's unreasonable to assume an SD drive will not fail after barely one year of use.

The Netac External 250 GB EXFAT SSD seemed solid at first. After two and a half months of use, my Tesla could no longer read any data on it. Testing the SSD in a Windows PC, the files were there, but corrupt. The strangest occurrence of all, one of which I haven't seen before, is no tool I've used so far will delete the corrupt files or reformat the drive. I used Windows standard drive formatter, Windows diskpart, CCleaner Drive Wiper, and Minitool Partition Wizard. All failed to remove a single file on the SSD. Each time I seemingly wipe the drive, disconnect and reconnect the drive to my PC, all of the files are still present. Check disk repair also fails. Windows Event Viewer reports multiple disk errors. The seller proposed I pay shipping to send them the defective drive (with my personal files on them) and they will send a replacement. I elected not to because I don't want to spend another $15 to ship the SSD. Update 5/15/2022: Netac agreed to send a replacement SSD. Thanks!

With WoW Shadowlands just on the horizon and the recommendation of utilizing solid state storage for the game, I decided to order this SSD to see just how much my gaming could improve (I game on an HP Pavilion Gaming Edition desktop with 1tb 7200 RPM HDD). I have used Micro SDs by this brand in the past and this SSD was def not a disappointment! Comes with Type-C converter (so do not buy a Type-C to Type-C cord like I did. The converter they supply will plug right onto the USB 3.1 end of the cord so you can utilize a Type-C port for data transfer). A leatherette sleeve is also included and works wonderfully - the drive fits nice and snug inside of it! Arrived on time and as described! For such an amazing value, you can't beat it! It gets a smidge warm when using it to game, but doesn't get too hot (do not keep it in the case when in use. It is aluminum and this will cause extra heat). Transferring files was FAST! WoW is currently over 62 GB and it transfered the entire slew of files for that, my add-ons, and WoW Classic in less than 10 mins! I highly recommend NeTac for all of your electronic storage needs. They sport a great value with quality products. 5 well earned stars!

Much better fit in my laptop bag than prior devices

This 1TB portable SSD is a solid drive for everyday storage and backups. Transfer speeds are noticeably faster than my old HDD, and the USB-C connection makes it easy to use with my laptop. It’s slim, lightweight, and easy to carry around. So far it’s been reliable for storing large files and backups. Pretty good value for the price, especially if you want more speed and durability than a traditional external hard drive.

Bom preço e capacidade (1 Tb), funciona no Windows 10, no Mac, no iPad, no Android

El material se siente de buena calidad. el tamaño es muy cómodo. la velocidad difícil de valorar, pero definitivamente más rápida que otras memorias. El cable viene con micro usb y adaptador para usb c.

Portabilidade boa, desenho, acessórios que vem junto com o produto são úteis e bons.

Ho acquistato questo SSD portatile Netac da 500GB per espandere le potenzialità del mio Steam Deck e devo dire che i risultati sono stati eccellenti. La velocità di lettura e scrittura è notevole, permettendo un'esperienza fluida e senza rallentamenti, anche con carichi di lavoro importanti. L'ho trovato estremamente utile per installarci sopra Windows 11: il sistema operativo gira in modo rapido e reattivo direttamente dall'unità esterna, il che mi permette di trasformare la console in un vero PC portatile ogni volta che ne ho bisogno, senza intaccare la memoria interna dedicata a SteamOS. Il design è compatto e sembra molto resistente, ideale da portare nello zaino insieme alla console. Se cercate un modo veloce ed efficace per gestire il dual boot o semplicemente per avere più spazio per i vostri giochi e software su Steam Deck, questo SSD è una soluzione promossa a pieni voti.
