Capacity and interface

The SSK 500GB USB 3.2 Gen 2 NVME USB Flash Drive Gray provides 500GB of storage over a USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection using NVME technology. It delivers up to 1050MB/s read and 1000MB/s write speeds for moving large files quickly. The drive includes both USB C to C and USB A to C cables, each 150MM long, for broad device connectivity.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

This drive suits users who need fast, portable external storage for laptops, desktops, smartphones, PS5, or Xbox consoles. It works with Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android without extra setup. Buyers who need more than 500GB of capacity or who require sustained write performance beyond 20GB single-file transfers should consider other options.

Deciding specification

The USB 3.2 Gen 2 NVME interface enables the 1050MB/s read and 1000MB/s write ceiling, but speed drops to 450MB/s on USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports. Verify your host port supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 to achieve the rated performance. The aluminum and ABS enclosure measures 2.70" x 1.48" x 0.49" and weighs 0.18lb for pocket carry.

Questions about this item

How do I connect this 500GB NVME drive to a computer that only has USB-A ports?

Use the supplied USB-A to USB-C cable (150 mm) and plug the USB-C end into the drive; the drive requires no driver installation on Windows, macOS or Linux.

When will the thermal throttle limit the sustained write speed of this 500GB NVME drive?

The manufacturer states the 1000 MB/s write speed remains stable while each transferred file stays below 20 GB; larger continuous writes may trigger thermal throttling.

What speed drop should I expect if I plug this 500GB NVME drive into a USB 3.0 port instead of USB 3.2 Gen 2?

The supplier notes the transfer speed will be limited to 450 MB/s on a USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 Gen 1 port.
