5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value for money with quick speeds!

A. · 17 July 2023

Excellent value for money. For the price you pay you get an absolute speedy small SSD. The SSD itself comes with a leather pouch, USB-C to USB-A adapter and a 30CM USB A to USB C data cable.The drive is small, thin and light weight (Think of a Milky Way bar!). I tested this drive on my PC and the speeds given match what has been said in description.I am lucky to to have a motherboard which has a USB 3.2. Gen 2 USB A&C ports at the back. On the front PC case (NZXT H510) I have a USB-C port and USB A port, unfortunately the motherboard does not have a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Front header, so the speeds here are only at 5Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen 1).The first image with speeds at 458 is the front IO ports, this is a decent speed with quick transfers even though it is not at is maximum speed. This was tested at 1 GiB.The second image with the speeds at 509 was tested on the USB 3.2 Gen 2 port 1GiB, as you can see the speeds have increased quite a bit both read and write, with surprisingly writes being slightly faster (but we could probably ignore this was this was only 1 test)The third image shows tests using 16GIB and the speeds are still fast on the Gen 2 port at over 500MB/sThe fourth image this time using 10 16 MiB data and the drive speeds increase to it's advertised 550 MB/S impressive!The 5th image shows copying files from a Kingston USB data traveller (128GB) to the SSD 11GB of data (ISO files of Linux OS) this took around 60 seconds and stayed at a consistent speed of 200MB/S very good!The 6th images shows copying from the SSD to my internal NVME (Downloads folder) again 11GB of data and this was being written at 460MB/s (My internal drive reaches reads/writes at around 2GB second).The 7th image shows copying the same files 11GB of data from my desktop PC to the SSD this was being done at speeds of 387MB/s these are very good speeds for a small drive.Lastly, the last image shown at speeds of 44MB/s this occurred when using a USB 3.0 cable so be warned you need a good quality reliable USB 3.2. Gen 2 cable to get the maximum speeds, the speeds may also be affected by external USB Hubs/Docks.---------------------------------LINUX TESTS---------------------------------I briefly tested this on Kali Linux copying the same files (no images) I was getting speeds of 360MB/s writes copying from laptop to SSD. (The laptop has an NVME at 2GB/s speed) This was with the drive at around 200GB capacity.Once I cleared this and started at 232GB (The actual disk space useable) I first initially got 700 MB/s for smaller 2GB files and then the speed dropped down to 400/500MB/s writing files to SSD from laptop. This is still very good speed, it took 20 seconds copying those files compared to 10 minutes when I copy from my USB Stick!Overall the price/value ratio is excellent the speed on the drive means I know longer need to wait 10 minutes for files to copy. One of the reasons I purchased this was because of the slow file transfers of USB sticks (looking at you Kingston!), this solves that problem and I can quickly get back to work.The drive is small enough to fit a pocket back.There are no negatives about this, personally I didn't need the leather pouch think it's just additional waste and not environment friendly, but this is a minor personal issue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great SSD device

D.K. · 4 August 2025

Seems an excellent storage device, small and compact but with plenty of space works well with both laptop and Iphone using the cables and adaptor provided.

5.0 out of 5 stars A SSD worth considering.

Netek SSD 500GB. Great little drive, compact and already formatted in ex-fat.The lead is USB C - USB A with a A to C converter.Fast read write speed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works as expected

I have been using Netac SSDs for about 4 years now. This is my 3rd. Works for me

1.0 out of 5 stars Super fast and very small for its capacity, let down by awful cable. Updated. URGENT UPDATE ADDED

C.D. · 18 April 2022

A very impressive device, and works well as Time Machine on Mac. Two things to note; it gets a little warm in use (I guess that's ok), and the cable requires an adaptor (which they supply), to connect to a Mac. (You can see this in the picture). I'd have preferred an end-to-end lead and for that, it loses one star. UPDATE: I have since discovered that, if left connected to my MacBook Pro, it stops the Safari browser from working. I am unclear what is causing this issue but it is as black and white as, if I eject and unplug the Z-Slim, the browser starts working and will stop mid-page if the device is plugged back in. FURTHER UPDATE: IN MY ORIGINAL REVIEW I MENTION THE DEVICE GETTING WARM. THIS HAS BECOME 'HEATING TO A POINT WHEREBY YOU CANNOT EVEN HANDLE IT' AND WITHIN ONLY A VERY FEW MINUTES OF BEING CONNECTED. ALSO, I WAS CONTACTED BY THEIR TECH SUPPORT TEAM ABOUT MY CONCERNS REGARDING CONFLICT WITH THE BROWSER AND WIFI. DESPITE ME REPLYING, IT HAS NOT BEEN FOLLOWED UP. I WILL PURSUE A REFUND FOR A PRODUCT I BELIEVE TO BE UNSAFE AND OF POOR FUNCTION. I AM ALSO SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED BY THEIR FAILURE TO FOLLOW UP MY COMPLAINT. ONCE AGAIN, IF THEY FINALLY PICK UP MY ISSUES, I WILL REVISE THIS REVIEW BUT, IN THE MEANTIME, AVOID THIS LIKE THE PLAGUE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Speeds are actually higher than advertised... Wow

K. · 25 March 2023

Usually Windows transfers, especially when copying not moving is slow... But this thing? When plugged into the correct port, it's FAST. I reached an absolute peak of around 870MB/s! It was only for a split second but still... It's advertised write speed is 550MB/s.At first I wasn't that impressed, I was getting a rock solid 41.8MB/s, and tbh that's actually better than most thumb drives I've bought over the years, they'll do faster but in very short bursts then it's down to 20MB/s if lucky. But then I decided to use the cable provided and adapter, I then saw the speed I wanted and more.It does slow down, just like everything. But that transfer I've shown is for Borderlands 3, a 93GB game with lots of large and small files, it's a challenging transfer and remember, it's a copy not a cut and it sustained over 450MB/s for at least 60% of the transfer before slowing down. The entire transfer took roughly 15 minutes due to the slow down but that's to be expected, remember, everything will slow down on large transfers. Heat and Cachce can't be sustained for that long so please, be aware of how the technology works.It's a FANTASTIC portable SSD solution for the price and I've actually bought another because I'm that impressed, I also filled the drive up to 20GB left so it is definitely it's advertised size! (Remember 250GB is not 250GB in Windows, it's more around 232GB which is to be expected, it's how the numbers work 1000/1024)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little Drive

A.C. · 29 July 2025

Good compact drive, purchased for my car's dashcam and works perfectly

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value, easy to use

B.G. · 17 October 2024

This small drive packs a mighty punch with 1Tb of storage space.So easy to use on Windows, just plug in and let the system find it, then that's it. Plenty of room for photos, videos and music and, if you reformat it to NTFS, you can plug it in the USB-C of your Android 'phone as well. At least that's what my 'phone told me, so check your 'phone before doing it!Highly recommended

Satisfecho
