    SSD is amazing and performs well too, it does the job as described in its description no false promises by the company.

    I was really very confused while making a purchase for the external SSD, gone through and compared all the competitors in the segment and zeroed it down to seagate nevertheless to say this was a great decision.

    Size of the SSD is really really impressive it is smaller than the wallet we carry and thinner than that too, precisely it would be somewhere half of my palm. Very impressive.

    Go for it.

    I use this for expandable storage on my Xbox series X games. You can only play last gen games off of it, you can store new games on it but have to transfer them over to the internal xbox storage to play the newer games. Really fast transfer speeds.

    I picked this up for 65$, it’s easily worth over 100$ in 2023. I ordered a second one , it’s that good.

    Great product. I was surprised at the size of the drive works really well.

    Leider war die erste Lieferung ein Missgriff. Wie bei den berhmten “Montagsautos”. Fr eine SSD waren die bertragungsgeschwindigkeiten grottenlangsam. Der Hndler ersetzte das Produkt umgehend und die zweite FP. ist deutlich schneller – wie von Seagate gewohnt. Auf der Homepage von Seagate kann man lesen, dass solche Mngel vom Kabel herrhren knnen. Das konnte ich leider nicht berprfen.
    Ein Austausch war schneller.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis is a very compact easy to carry back up hard drive. It isn’t very easy to set up for a new Mac, or at least not for me who isn’t a very competent techie. I had to get on the phone with my Son to help me set it up for my new MacBook Air M2. Once set up, the first backup was very fast for Time Machine. It comes with the cables to attach to the new MacBooks.

    I like the size, weight, and portability of this hard drive. It starts out at very fast speeds, but then slows down a lot. Overall, it’s substantially slower than my spinning portable hard drive. I assume the upside is that a solid-state drive is far more durable, with less risk of malfunction.

    Originally used it with my MacBook Air but because the Apple OS would only let me preview my photos and not let allow me to edit them without making program changes that I did not want to make I moved the SSD to my Windows 10 laptop. No problems at all now. I have transferred 116GB of photos with plenty of room for more. Much, much faster than my older external hard drive. Very glad I moved to SSD.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersDie Datenbertragung luft meist mit 2,5GB/s was ein 100GB groes Spiel in ca. 8 Minuten von der Konsole auf die Festplatte transveriert.
    Die meisten Spiele, die fr Series X|S Konsolen optimiert sind, knnen leider nicht bertragen werden, da sie sonst nicht spielbar sind.
    Natrlich kann man sie auch fr den PC oder fr ein Handy benutzen.

    Stauraum braucht sie fast keinen. Die Festplatte ist wirklich mega klein und passt in jede Jackentasche.

    Im Ruhemodus der Konsole, schaltet sich auch die Festplatte ab und braucht somit (fast) keine Energie.

    Wie man die Festplatte das erste Mal an der Konsole installiert, ist auch leicht zu erkennen. Die Konsole richtet die Platte vollautomatisch ein.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis pocket SSD drive is compact .. I’m sure it will do what it says it will do .. i have an older laptop and bought this only for back-up purpose .. i experienced lower / mid 2 digit speeds coz usb 3.0 wil not be compatible with older devices/ computers, so had to use an ordinary c type cable meant for charging phone to connect to the laptop and it did well… No heating issues .. plastic body could have been more sturdy ..since the device is very light it may not cause body damage when dropped, the build quality should have been better considering it holds data that could be pricless in terms of users sentement and personal value ..

    Works with Mobile phone. i have a tried to connect it with Oppo K10 5g , it connects and reads the ssd instantly.. have not yet checked tranfer Speed, but I’m sure it won’t disappoint.

    I just received the product and have been to work with it. iwill Surely update the experience post a few weeks / months usage , to highlight any other pros / cons about the device..

    At the moment if feel it’s an affordable ssd and can be purchased without 2nd thoughts..

    Purchased at discounted price of 4,499/- on sale

    I bought this to store video game software. It works fine, but it needs a more comprehensive online user’s guide. I had to ask my grandson for help setting it up (not kidding)!

    A great SSD for storage or transfer. You can format it at the beginning of the usage in case you like to use it with your android phone too. Overall a good SSD if you are not into very high file transfer rates.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersI am loving this drive! It’s way smaller than my last drive (previously I had a WD drive that was about the size of my full hand – this Seagate drive is about the size of my palm – even a little smaller) but it has twice the storage capacity! I also love that I can use this like a giant flash drive and just drag & drop files onto it without having to run backup software that takes an eternity. Granted, it still took an eternity to transfer nearly 1TB of data onto this new drive once I got it, but I just let it run overnight and it was done well before I woke up. I haven’t activated the Toolkit software that lets you sync folders for backup purposes, but I don’t know if I will or not. I kind of like just being able to drag and drop in the files that I know I want to save instead of having my computer hang onto backup versions of literally everything on my computer. All in all, this seems like a good drive. I’ll probably be buying another Seagate drive in the future whenever this one gets full.

    Golden Review Award: 17 From Our UsersIch schreibe hier zur Seagate Expansion 2 TB externe SSD, die ich an einem Mac betreibe. Funktioniert einwandfrei, sowohl am M1-Mac, als auch an einem Intel-Mac. Soweit keine Probleme, Kabel fr USB 3 und USB-C sind mit dabei. Im Lieferzustand ist die SSD mit exFAT formatiert, fr den reinen Mac-Nutzer kann man mit dem Festplattendienstprogramm das Format zu APFS wechseln. Wer Daten zwischen Mac und PC mit der SSD kopieren mchte sollte jedoch bei exFAT bleiben.

    Die Geschwindigkeit, die hier mit 1000MB/sek. angegeben wird, ist aber wohl eher ein Scherz. Die Platte wird mit 5Gbit (USB 3.0) angebunden, da wren theoretisch sowieso kaum mehr als 600 MB/Sek. mglich. In der Praxis bleiben davon dann ca. 400-420 MByte/Sek. brig, getestet mit Blackmagic Disk Speed Test an verschiedenen Mac-Rechnern, Intel und Apple Silicon.

    Ich habe die 2TB-SSD am Prime-Day gekauft (194 Euro) und somit ist der Preis okay. Auch nicht teurer als eine Crucial MX500 in einem externen Gehuse. Aber kleiner und leichter. Aber eben auch nicht schneller oder langsamer als eine Crucial mit SATA3-Anschluss. Fr den normalen Preis von 272 oder wie bei Seagate auf der Homepage angegeben ber 400 wre sie aber wahrlich berteuert.

    Eigentlich htte es auch 5 Sterne geben knnen, weil ja alles okay, aber fr die freche Angabe von 1000MB/sek. gibt’s einen Stern Abzug wegen Lgerei.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersWhile it was smaller than I thought it would be, it is also VERY fast when connected directly to the USB-C port on my laptop. I purchased this hoping it would read/write as fast as my hard drive, I was not disappointed. Did I mention I can carry this in my pocket? I stayed with a 500Gb model because my laptop will not need anything larger, it is a good fit for my needs.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI am using this with a Mac and I have read reviews that criticize speed which has not been my experience. I admit I am not using this the way some users are (video, audio, etc.) I did transfer 23 gigs worth of pictures onto this and it took five minutes which I was impressed with. I am using this primarily for word docs and the like so admittedly there is some disparity in the way I’m using it compared to others. The only issue I have is the way the cord is. Slightly too short to do a lot with but functionality-wise I have no complaints and the capacity is great for an SSD at the price point I got it at.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersIt’s a lot smaller than you think, yet has a full terabyte of capacity. It doesn’t overheat, is dead silent, and is a quality product made by Seagate. I’ve had nothing but really great experiences with prior Seagate external SSD drives. Hard to kill those things even after many drops. Thumbs up for sure.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThe Seagate SSD Drive is super easy to install. Comes with a USB-A/USB-C and a USB-A/USB-A connector cables to accommodate your connectivity needs. Seagate backup software is easy to load and use, and makes for a very effective backup or sync capability. The SSD Drive is super fast and provides large capacity storage is a very small space. The drive is also very portable so makes a nice addition to a laptop setup.

    It’s only been a few weeks, but this little unit seems to be doing a great job as the backup disk for my iMac. Setting it up was so easy–plugged it in and followed the prompts to format. Then I set Time Machine to use it for backups, and it has been running ever since. I haven’t had to restore anything yet, but I’ll let you know how that goes when it happens!

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersAn exceptional drive which is very fast indeed and cool running.

    It was very straightforward formatting it and then using it as a backup for my M1 iMac using OS Monterey.

    My only, minor, criticism is the length of the cables that come with it – 9 inches – come on!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersDisco duro SSD externo, pequeo y por tanto se hace muy portable, de capacidad 500 Gb y viene con dos tipos de cable de conexin: uno para conexionado al perifrico USB 3.0 y otro con conexionado tipo USB-C.

    Carcasa externa de plstico con lmina imitacin al aluminio de medidas 70 x 50 x 10 mm., con puerto USB-C de conexin mediante los cables que trae el producto.

    Probado con grabaciones de video, fotos, …. la velocidad es muy buena y fiable.Posee piloto led para advertir del funcionamiento del mismo, tanto en lectura como escritura.

    En definitiva, un disco duro externo porttil, que funciona muy rpido (debido a la SSD de disco duro de estado slido que tiene incorporado) y su precio est muy bien.

    Pequeño, fiable y precio muy bueno...!!!
