ADATASD810 1000G IP68 Water Resistance Up to 2000 MB/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-C External Solid State Drive - Black for iPhone 15/Pro/Max, Android (SD810-1000G-CBK)

I bought this to use on my Xbox one (original fat) for more storage and to load games quicker than the internal hard drive. If you're using this on Xbox One x/s, you can't put those games on there and play them from it (unless they are the backward compatible games like Xbox, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 ). You can however use it for storage of all games, media, and apps. Since I'm using it on an older Xbox one for storing AND playing games, it works perfectly for my use-case. The build quality is excellent with metal outside and a rubber end that covers the port from dust and water when not in use. The metal acts as a heatsink as SSD drives get hot when in sustained use. For the Xbox, it isn't even close to maxing this thing out speed-wise. I measured 850Mb/s max when transferring. Compared to the capability, the Xbox won't max the drive so it can't get as hot as it would over a faster connection on PC. Even so, I would think the metal case around this would provide good heat dissipation in those scenarios where the drive speed is max and sustained. One of the things that drew me to the drive is that, contrary to Adata's website and Amazon's listing, it comes with both a usb-c to usb-c cable AND a usb-c to usb-A cable. If you look at other competitors in this segment, it varies whether you get a usb-A or not. So that's a nice touch. The cables are different lengths. The Usb-c only cable, is about 6 inches long and the usb-A is about 4. The fact that it includes both cables and I didn't need to buy another adapter is awesome. Especially for the price. In addition to all these things, Adata offers a warranty for 5 years on the SD810. Other similar competitors sometimes only offer 3 years. I'm hoping to never have to use it, but it's nice to know I have it should I need it. As for my games, they now load way faster than they used to. Overall this thing is very small, very fast, very light, a great value, and worked instantly with my Xbox one. Longevity will be the key here, but based on the past Adata data (see what I did there?), I don't anticipate an issue. Don't forget to update the firmware when you get it on your PC. I recommend you buy this without hesitation. I hope this review helped you. If it did, hook me up with a thumbs up, would you?

A lot smaller physically than I was expecting! Super fast transfers and lots of space. I was surprised to find out that it came with two cables, one with a USB-C connection on both ends and the other with a USB-C on one end, and a standard USB on the other. I am not sure they are all sold like that, but mine was. I wish it would have mentioned in the product description otherwise I wouldn't have bought the extra cable. But otherwise I am very happy with this drive and can't wait to use it.

Works well, setup was super easy. One downside is that some games don’t play well with it (Looking at you, MH Wilds)

I used this to store a couple of games. They're not very intense games so I couldn't tell if you putting a big AAA game on it is a good idea for PC, but it's very fast and reliable.

This is a very fast and very affordable SSD, specially compared to other similar options. I use it for video production, transferring files and editing from the SSD is fast and easy. I’m working with RED RAW and ProRes Files.

Best bang for the buck!! Super easy to use just plug and play. Super lightweight and have had no issues using it for gaming. Just plug it into USB-C or USB 2.0. Even on long gaming sessions I have not heat issue, just luke warm. I feel the quality of this drive is A+. Nice and small only about 1\2 in thick and 2x3 inches in size.

Data transfer was quick , had no issues used this to backup my laptop .

I bought this to download my PC games onto and it is perfect for that.
