BUFFALO External SSD 1TB - Up to 600MB/s - USB-C - USB-A - USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Compatible with PS4 / PS5 / Windows/Mac) - External Solid State Drive Stick - ‎‎SSD-PUT1.0U3B

Let me start by saying that for the price I paid, I was whole heartedly expecting this thing to be horrible, but I was wrong. I am so glad I gave this seemingly no name brand a try, as this is better than 98% of the USB drives available by known brand names. I cringed when I plugged it into my computer not knowing what to expect, and once recognized, drivers installed and it opened a new window I was delighted to find it has a full usable 1.81TB of storage space (in one contiguous block). I then proceeded to back up all of my data between 9 of my computers, and the slowest data write speed was 26MBPS, however it was on an old laptop computer that was dying, and I was barley able to boot it into safe mode to recover data; on my hp elite desk mini, I plugged it into a USB 3.0 port and started downloading data, about 500 GB of data and it only took about 3 min to transfer, it peaked at .99GBPS but averaged 600MBPS. BLOWN AWAY! HIGH QUALITY! GO BUFFALO! If your reading this review and still questioning if you should buy this because of the brand name, let me give you some good advice, coming from the IT guy for a company. BUY IT YOU GOOF! In my opinion this is the best value for USB storage on amazon.

Sort of a cross between an SSD and a flash drive. Once you have written about 10-20GB in a short time it goes from 300MB/s to 50MB/s write speed. Seems to be a small SSD buffer and a majority of cheaper flash storage since if you leave it plugged in and idle it goes back to the 300+MB/s write speed after a period of time. Read speed does not seem to be affected by this buffering. Its not really ideal for what I intended to use it for which was transferring large amounts of files between my devices and friends devices when they ask for a large collection of files but its very small and requires no cables so I found a use for it as a portable apps/games drive since its very snappy if not writing large amounts of data all at once.

Very fast, excellent read/write speeds.

Unlike some flash drives that advertise large capacity storage and then under deliver, this product actually has the storage you pay for.

Loads fast and as a DJ I need that.

This is an outstanding product I had a doubt that the advertised speed could be real but I ordered it hoping it would be even 50% of what they said. However, after I got it I found that my dream came true. It.s small, easy to use and super fast

I liked the small form with the storage capacity. Im using it on a network server for dedicated shared storage. A really nice feature is its portability: if my server goes down, I can swap it into another computer and still have access to my files. I cant vouch for is speed because its on a slow server, but plenty fast enough to back up images and documents.

Yeah works nicely and i feel safe putting my files on it, tho im not useing is super crazy just dumped my files on it and stored it so i cant say if fails after so many uses but works for me

Using it on a ps4pro and I get around 10 second load times on Bloodborne and probably around 40 seconds load on Elden ring. Originally got it to transfer clips from my console to computer but ended up using it as a secondary drive to load my most played games on because it loads faster than base ps4pro. Around 70% also so the less you have on there the faster it generally goes with ssds im assuming it’s the same. Use the back port for the fastest transfers from my trials. If anyones looking at this for console clips transfers, if you can use your phone for editing, I recommend getting a usb c to usb3a dual tipped drive. That works phenomenally for that purpose this is better as a offloader imo.

The ps5 cant read two different external hard drives either. So you cant copy games from one drive to another.
