About this product
This is an unbranded external drive offering 4TB of storage, identified as an External SSD in the drive type supported, yet it lists HDD characteristics such as 5400 RPM rotation speed and 8MB cache, suggesting a hybrid or mislabeled product. It features a 2.5-inch form factor, USB 3.0 interface, and boasts read speeds of 120MB/s and transfer rates up to 550 Mbps. Compatible with Laptop, PC, and Mac, it comes in black and includes a 1-year manufacturer warranty. It also bafflingly mentions Blu-ray writable and readable formats.
Our take
This external drive presents a bit of a mixed bag in its specifications, claiming to be an External SSD while also listing HDD characteristics like 5400 RPM and 8MB cache. Assuming it functions as a 4TB external drive, the USB 3.0 interface offers decent connectivity for laptops, PCs, and Macs. The 2.5-inch form factor makes it portable. With a claimed read speed of 120MB/s, it should be adequate for general file transfers. The mention of Blu-ray formats seems entirely out of place for an external storage drive, so I'd focus on its core storage function. The 1-year warranty is a standard assurance.
