    These things are so small and fast, it's USB-C friendly as well.

      That's what she said.

        Why does she care about usb c?

          because you can insert either way

        • Jackson on 17/06/2017 - 07:58

          @KitchenSink: still not one down vote, but had to be a matter of time…

  • Tm15 on 16/06/2017 - 16:50

    Good Price, $10 cheaper than amazon

  • cruiseronroad on 16/06/2017 - 17:19

    This is an excellent price for a great piece of hardware!

    Man I read it as 3TB portable SSD for a second…was excited it existed … then I saw the price and forced myself to reread.

    I nearly bought the 1TB version of this a couple of nights ago for $499…agonised for hours and then…someone else got it! Not sure that 250GB is big enough for my purposes, but great price.

    Just IMO
    Zalman ZM-VE500 box ( + this is an ISO emulator/DVD drive emulator) + normal SSD or laptop size 2.5" HDD (like Western Digital WD Black 1TB) is a way better combination than such a Portable smal size SSD.. Little bit more expensive though ;)

    • Grok on 16/06/2017 - 19:58

      Cool, but the Zalman ZM-VE500 alone costs twice as much as a new 1TB portable drive and is more or less the same price as the 250GB Samsung Portable SSD.

      • megaalc on 16/06/2017 - 20:30

        Again imo - for portable drives the functionality and capacity is more important than speed ( in 95 % cases )

        • Jackson on 17/06/2017 - 08:07

          So is the benefit of this just that it can be read in anything because it's a virtual optical drive? And does that mean that if you want to write to it you need to change some setting so that it mounts as a hard drive?

        • megaalc on 17/06/2017 - 21:55

          @Jackson:
          It is beneficial for IT pros, service desk support, it field engineers and also normal users who do not have DVD drive installed and who deal with boot iso OS images like win 7, win 10, linux whatever. You can also mount normal Office app or another application iso. Another use case - you can boot from virus removal tool iso to scan/check file system in case your pc is infected and do not want to boot up.
          Hard drive connects by default, and if you swich to ODD mode it would also activate virtual DVD feature

          And encryption of your data of course :)

        • Jackson on 17/06/2017 - 23:29

          @megaalc: so if you have 10 ISO files on it does it mount 10 optical drives?

        • RohBoat on 18/06/2017 - 10:44

          @megaalc: nice idea, might look into it.
          Currently I just use a multiboot USB stick which has a few of the repair ISOs, Windows 7/10/Linux installers, live XP and some live Linux distros. Plus various windows tools/installers that I often use.
          It boots to a menu where you select what iso/image you want to load.

          It is handy but would be nice to be able to back up stuff to the same drive.

          How well does the zalman work when running as a virtual cd? Can you still access the hard drive too?

          @RohBoat:
          Yes you can access both.
          When it comes to multifunctional usb stick, I ve got http://www.hirensbootcd.org/hbcd-v106/ iso on my zalman, lots of useful utilities like antivirus tools (gmer, malwarebytes etc), Active password changer, various hdd and memory checkers , norton ghost 10, etc
          Device basically uses _ISO folder in the root where you copy different iso files

  • homsai on 16/06/2017 - 20:24

    Bought one for my iMac. Thx

    Wish there was deals on the 500GB or 1TB version

  • bulletNOVA on 16/06/2017 - 21:35

    Usually what do I need this for? Multimedia is already good enough from the normal ones.

    • notme53 on 16/06/2017 - 21:51

      I'm considering one of these to hold raw videos, e.g. from my GoPro, and then edit them directly on the external SSD (rather than copy local).

      • bulletNOVA on 16/06/2017 - 21:55

        Thats actually a good idea. The USB-C port wont bottleneck anything wouldnt it?

  • pwrusr-com on 16/06/2017 - 21:44

    wondering if you can pull the mSATA SSD out and chuck it in a laptop (or nuc)?

  • EarthMan on 16/06/2017 - 21:52

    Bought one a couple of days ago from same seller using the 15% off ebay deal for around $135 and already delivered ☺ very speedy little thing.
