Seagate One Touch 2 TB External SSD up to 1030 Mb/s, for Windows and Mac, with Android App, 3 yr Data Recovery Services, Portable Solid State Drive Black (STKG2000400)

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

Value for money . Working fast and good SSD storage

Very compact and good working. Fast transfer

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.

Overall, this SSD from Seagate is excellent: speeds live up to the claims (just make sure your port is atleast Thunderbolt 3 and above with > 10gbps signalling rate or USB 3.2 on a standard A interface) and it is incredibly small and portable. Matter of fact, it's so small that I almost thought that the item was a warranty card or something haha. My only complaint is the price, it could've been better.

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