Vansuny 512GB Portable External SSD - USB 3.2 Gen 2 Dual A + C Solid State Drive Up to 1000MB/s for Android Phone, Tablet, Laptop, MacBook, PC

I bought the Vansuny 512GB mainly to move files between my desktop and friends and family's devices, I am basically the local IT. It’s been a pleasant surprise. For something this small, it’s really fast. Transferring photos, videos, and work files is way faster than using a regular flash drive or older external hard drive. I will provide some benchmarks to compare with. One thing I can really appreciate is the dual USB-A and USB-C connectors. I'm a little oldschool so I never realized how convenient that would be until I started using it; no adapters, no extra cables, just plug it into whatever device I’m using and go. Super dang handy, especially if you format it to FAT32, you can use it with any phone that has a USB-C (no OTG dongles! whoo!) The drive itself is tiny and fairly light weight, so it’s easy to throw in a backpack or pocket without worrying about it. However it still has some heft to it, feels sturdy enough that I’m not afraid of it getting knocked around a bit if I just throw it in a bag when crunching time. A couple of things to keep in mind: Now, 512GB fills up faster than you’d think if you work with a lot of big files. For heavy media use or you just generally transfer large files regularly, you may want to consider the 1TB version. It does get a little warm during long transfers, but nothing alarming. Infact the metal casing acts as a heatsink, which is a very smart design. There’s no extra software or special features — it’s a straightforward storage drive. Overall, it’s been a solid buy. If you need a fast, portable, no-nonsense SSD for everyday use, this one does the job really well. I’m already considering picking up a bigger one later on. As for the benchmarks, Drive G (the first photo) is the USB SSD. Drive E (my internal SATA WD SA510, similar speeds to my old Samsung 860 Evo). I never expected it to be as fast as proper SATA SSD's, but all in all, for the price and convenience, it's a great purchase!

I bought this little SSD to run Windows 11 ARM on my Raspberry Pi 5, and it performs even better than expected! It’s so much faster compared to the micro sd on the pi 5 and the high speed flash drive I attempted to use prior to buying this. It does get a little warm, which is to be expected, but its ability to dissipate heat evenly is excellent! It doesn’t get extremely hot like the flash drives tend to do when running an OS. It’s also very handy that one side of the drive is USB-A and the other side is USB-C so you don’t have to use a dongle if you have a computer that doesn’t have USB-C like my pi 5.

À ce prix pour que tout fonctionne, c'est 5 étoiles assurées. Seul point à noter: vous pouvez perdre le capuchon du côté USB A et sans cordon.

Awesome external drive. Works great with my Macbook Air, is small but very sturdy and durable. Format capability meshes instantly with my Mac. Great value and easy to use. Keep in a constant safe place due to small size.

The fastest usb drive I have ever owned/seen/used ever. I did do some research before purchasing and the info was dead on. Even USB-A this thing is faster than every USB i have ever used. Worth every penny! Does it get a little warm? yes but I dont have it plugged in for any extended period of time anyway so I am not worried about it.
