But, I edit from 12K and 8K .braw footage and needed an SSD that could hold massive projects. I still don't know what brand this is so I was leery but for the price, I tried one. It was actually great... super reliable after about 1.5 years right now with about 6 TBs of footage on it, varying resolutions, no lag at all. Okay, then I shot a film in 12K and 8K and figured I'd have to turn my footage into proxies (smaller versions of the files) to edit from... nope, not with this. I got a second drive for that project and it's been great, literally taking a break from editing on that right now. I'm a drive snob but I'm amazing by these so far. I'm still skeptical that it'll hold-up but it's been rock solid even though I've taken it into an office, back home, back and forth five days a week so it's not just sitting at home and still hasn't bricked. There's nothing else even close to this value for how much storage you get at these speeds. Review: Still fast & Reliable 5 years and a ligtning bolt later - Had it for 5 years now. No issues. Paid 129 back then. Darn inflation. Edit - July 2025- Had a lightning strike right next to my home that fried a lot of things, but this thing is still working perfectly. I have no reason to give a good review other than it's a rare exception compared to a lot of items. My bluetti power station bricked in my garage at the opposite end of the house. Both me and this HD were prob. 20 yards from the strike, that hit just outside my home. The strike blasted the phone (twisted pairs) box lid right off. The power station was around 50 yards away. I do realize, I dodged a bullet not losing this and more. Thinking of getting another one. It was plugged into a computer at the time. They say you should have important files that you keep on a drive unteathered to the grid. Can't speak to why it wants to back up whatever computer I happen to be on at the time. It's nice that it does that, but I usually erase it and we start the dance all over again. I only store on it what I want, not what it wants... :P ## Features - PERFORMANCE – Ultra fast read/write speeds of up to 540MB/s, lets you transfer conveniently large files, 4K videos, high end gaming in seconds.

No issues. Paid 129 back then. Darn inflation. Edit - July 2025- Had a lightning strike right next to my home that fried a lot of things, but this thing is still working perfectly.

It's nice that it does that, but I usually erase it and we start the dance all over again. I only store on it what I want, not what it wants... :P ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Little Expensive but seems good. *by B***R on August 14, 2023* I have a Synology Network Attached Storage (NAS) device that is setup with 1 drive fault tolerance and It is backed up to the cloud but I wanted to have something I could grab quickly and go if I needed to and know my data on this drive would not only be encrypted but accessible when I need it. This drive should work nicely for this intended purpose. I am using it to mirror about 5TB of data and I wanted something faster and more reliable than a Spinner. This also allows me to be fully in compliance with the 3-2-1 rule. 3 copies - 2 different types of mediums/equipment - and one location being offsite, my NAS HDDs, This External SSD, and an offsite cloud provider. This doesn't matter much if both local mediums get destroyed but that's why I have an offsite cloud too. Also the slightly faster speeds will allow me to access data a little quicker locally if I need to which will be nice. Overall 8tb for a little more than buying a cheap enclosure and a data internal ssd myself. M2s are a lot faster but also easily cost twice as much as this and 3 years warranty seems fine for the price difference of building my own. If you have more than 4tb and don't want to use multiple drives and want some speed this works for now. ## Frequently Bought Together - VectoTech 4TB External SSD USB-C Portable Solid State Drive (USB 3.1 Gen 2) | 3D NAND Flash | Rapid - Amazon Basics External Hard Drive Portable Carrying Case, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/40881722-4tb-external-ssd-usb-c-portable-solid-state-drive-usb](https://www.desertcart.at/products/40881722-4tb-external-ssd-usb-c-portable-solid-state-drive-usb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
