Seagate One Touch 1TB External SSD up to 1030 Mb/s, for Windows, Mac, Android App, 3yr Data Recovery Services, Portable Solid State Drive Black, 6 Month Mylio Create and Dropbox Plan (STKG1000400)

This review is for the 1 TB variant. It was quite a surprise to open the box: The drive is *tiny*. (See photo with a 20-rupee note for scale.)Pros:→ Like I said, it’s tiny.→ Transfer speeds: I don’t know about USB ___, but with my USB 2.0 interfaces, the speed is close to the theoretical maximum.→ This is not a pro—but rather, an anti-con: 931 GB is available for use, which is exactly what I expected. Some people expect a full 1,024 GB, though—but disks always afford less free space than advertised (do a simple search for why this happens).→ If you’ll use the drive for backup, the backup software—which you can download for free once you register the product—has a clean interface. There are free alternatives for backup software, of course, so this a small pro.→ The price is lower than you should expect, considering it’s a Seagate.Cons:→ The cable is as short as the drive is tiny (see photo)—but this can be a pro if you have too many cables on your desk!→ SSDs and HDDs are both always slower when connected to a USB hub rather than directly to the laptop or desktop—with the speed ratio being about 1.5:1. With this drive, though, the difference is more like 2:1. This *really* shouldn’t matter at all, but well, it is a small negative.

First day of use: 21.05.20251. Easy to set up2. Super tiny size (just a bit larger than my car keys)3. 2 cables includes (USB C to USC C and USC A to USB C). Seller needs to clarify this in the product description.Time machine back up was very fast. I would highly recommend this product

The product is good. The size of the product is very small. Speed is really nice

Looks:This is a deceptively small SSD. It could easily fit inside your wallet or your card holder. It also feels sturdy to the touch and looks sleek in its form factor. Heat level:At heavy transfer speeds, you can feel it getting a bit warm - especially for 100s of GBs at a time but has no major heating issues. Transfer speed:Delivers on its promises.

Good read and write speeds. If not required for heavy tasks, definitely worth the money.

Very compact and good working. Fast transfer

Quality is good. Lets see how long it can work. Although a question what if after 3 years the ssd fails and will there be data recovery services in future. And at what cost. This should be mentioned somewhere

Super fast and reliable quality from Segate
