There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Symptoms: once you copy certain amount of small files, filling up cache or PMR area (regular HDD recording, opposite to SMR), drive becomes painfully slow and non responding. So, only solution was, to wait until drive is able to re-distribute small files. And wait for 15-20 minutes after that, when drive is supposedly idle, while recovering PMR - you can sense heads positioning. So any lengthy backup had to be done in small ~20 min steps, like this. SMR issue was not manifested for large files (videos etc), since area overlapping in these cases is minimal
I've ordered 5Gb drive with my pain in my heart, since some review suggest the same situation
Well, I copied ~3Tb of my photo collection. Where some 10-20Mb RAW photos and 1-4Mb processed jpegs. This process took around 8-10 hours without getting to SMR stall. Drive was writing at around 70-90Mb/s, consistently. Not getting overly hot (~44C), which is ok for that many plates and continuous load
Does it mean SMR not here? Unlikely, there is no much progress in areal density packing, so not possible write 5Gb on "tall" 2.5 in disk conventional (PMR) way. What most likely is, SMR caching became more mature, RAM buffers, algorithms, etc allow to hide SMR ugliness. SMR might show it's face when writing even smaller files (source code ?) or some syntetic random tests. But I have to admit, it is suitable just fine for home user to store photos or smaller (1Mb) documents.
If you plan to use it for an offline backup - go for it.
I listened to her and now this portable SSD has become my essential tool!
Great discovery for me!

I recommend installing CrystalDiskInfo (if on Windows) to check drive health. Ours had only been on for 6 hours, so we got a basically BRAND NEW hard drive at 2/3ths of the price. The product works fantastic and there are no compatibility issues with Windows or Mac. Read/Write speed is great and it is perfect for dumping all our photos into a portable box the size of a phone.
While there may not be much that differentiates it from its competitors, I highly recommend this product for its price, portability, and value.
