Good price for a 2TB USB 3 portable SSD. Includes a USB C to C cable and a USB A adapter.

Not the fastest around but seems good for the price and brand to me.

Claims to be "Drop proof up to 2 m. Extreme temperature, shock, and vibration proof", so just don't drop it in the toilet!

    Hmm 1050 is only OK?

      Yes, because 1050 is only the SLC cache speed. After that, it is QLC.

      As it is a QLC SSD with 2TB, it appears to be able to stay above 100MB/s (~150MB/s) in sustained write. The SSD controller appears to support up to 4 channels (so it is pretty ordinary). However, given USB 3.2 gen 2 is PCIe gen 3 x2, you know the external SSD makers will cut corner (as there is no point for them to put in a decent PCIe gen 3 x4 SSD in there).

  I use this as a time machine (Apple backup), and it's been great

  Got a very convincing fake scammer email today advising that I'd bought one of these using my PayPal….be careful and always check the senders email address.
