I'm 72 and have been telling my kids, grandkids, great grandkids, family, friends, etc. of my life Journey. I've done filming and video editing for years and made thousands of dvd's with white glossy hub making beautiful designs on the label. However, I'll end up with hundreds of videos and thousands of pictures. It takes a lot of time plus hundred's of dvd's for each person is a great cost in dvd's ink, and mailing. I finally thought as much as I enjoy the dvd's they are expensive and numereous hours for each dvd. I got to searching for the possibility something better. I found it. A SSD-PUT 2TB Drive. It's very small yet holds a large quantity and all I do is go to my files and transfer a copy to my Buffalo SSD. It's a lot faster than my old way. Plus my family and friends can easy carry this and insert into, PC - Mac - TV - etc. Other words it works with everything. Look at the price!!!! I've used other products by Buffalo all have been topnotch. My very expensive project has now saved me lots of money and time, plus it easy to carry than 200 dvd's. LOVE IT

Has had it for some months now and it has been a reliable workhorse!

Surprisingly good for the price, especially the 500GB. Fast and so far they've been reliable. I was running 5 of those with Stabebit Drivepool as kind of a useful experiment for a compact file server with some redundancy, and they've done really well... They do tend to get a pretty warm since the case is plastic and the air doesn't really have anywhere to go. I just bought two 1TB to swap in and those are way worse heat-wise. Work fine, but they run so hot during transfers that I'm probably going to pop them all out of the cases and mount tiny heat sinks on them. I caught one running 83c, it was so high it made my SMART monitor freak out and say imminent failure. Once I cooled them down with a fan, all was well. Both of them seem to be about the same. The SMART stats themselves are presented in a strange way on the 1TB so I wonder if those numbers are even accurate (I'm seeing negative decimal numbers for reads and writes, don't know what to make of that) but the case was hot to the touch. For the price and form factor, I still find it hard to beat these even if I have to modify them for my use. I think it cost me about $80 a few years ago to make something very similar myself with a small aluminum enclosure, a 2242 SSD, and some thermal pads. That's probably closer to $100 now and it gets pretty hot too. Update: I took apart a few of these and put some tiny heat sinks on the chips, some paint on the LEDs to make them a little less obnoxious without the case. Idle temp dropped ~20c without even pointing a fan at them and load temps are looking pretty good so far too. Not recommending you void your warranty so be mindful of that, but it does help. Once I do my initial tests and they've seen data I will not be sending them back, so all is good over here.

Very easy to use. It fits into any of my PC's USB slots and it has an adapter that allows it to fit into my cellphone (Android). Storage is excellent capacity. I am very pleased with this external SSD!

Perfect for what I need, is just as fast an internal one and is obviously portable which is an added bonus.

If it had the built in connecting cord (like earlier Buffalo hard disk) it would have been better . We could avoid connecting each time

The usb is basically fully plastic, that being it bends quite easily without pressing too hard. The rest works fine.

merci

It's a USB stick that can retract. Useless? Yes. Fun? For sure!

Does NOT WORK for Sony Playstation 5 disc edition. Says not compatible. I'm sure my son will find another use for it so my $200 doesn't go to waste.
