SK Hynix Beetle X31 512GB Portable SSD with DRAM, up to 1050MB/s, USB 3.2 Gen2, External Hard Drive Compatible with PC, Mac, Laptop, PS5 (Champagne Gold)

It is very small but powerful. Super fast and work perfectly with my router. No lagging for streaming movies or photos on the wireless. It has 2 cables, 1 is USB A and another USB C. So I can freely connect it to my devices like PC and Laptop. Want to recommend to others.

I have been "Test Driving" this device for a couple of months and have not had any issues. Data transfer using the USB-C to USB-C has very quick and reliable. Even the USB-A to USB-C has a faster transfer rate than most. I would definitely recommend this as backup device.

Easy to carry around between home and work. It's faster than an external HDD. This SSD is a good part of a 3-2-1 backup strategy. 3 copies of data on 2 media types with 1 backup stored at a remote location. The provided cable is very strong and does not bend easily. I guess that's good, but a more flexible cable would be nice. I recommend this SSD.

Not much to say other than it works perfectly.

Does not work for iphone 13 either 14

Just got it, so can't speak for longevity, I will try and update the review in the future. It is nice and compact, fast enough and great for its price. Only thing to take note is, on my Aorus 5 SE4, huge speed difference between USB 3 and USB C interface. This may be due to a limitation on my hardware. Apparently The USB sockets are 3.2 Gen 1 and the C is Thunderbolt 4... The C is over twice as fast on my laptop.

The price, size and speed are great on this drive. Using it attached to a router has proven to be much faster and more reliable than a thumb drive. The price point and warranty length make this a no-brainer for cost effective storage.

I've not seen anything faster for transferring files from my PC to my iPad! I am glad for this setup as I will l would rather destroy my PC with a hammer before letting Apple put thier slow iTunes software on it for file transfer! Apple software should stick with apple devices. I have a USB stick that supposed to be super fast, but it tends to get extremely hot that I would think it would melt the plastic, but this beetle doesn't get hot at all! I'm extremely happy that they give you 1' cables to for both USB-A and USB-C file transfer. I've had to use both. I was thinking of buying a different brand, but in the end decided this was the best option. If I get any issues, I'll update this review.

I recently acquired the SK Hynix external SSD, and it has proven to be a valuable addition to my PlayStation 5 (PS5) setup. Design: The SSD features a sleek and portable design that complements my PS5 without drawing unnecessary attention. It's compact, easy to connect, and its unobtrusive presence adds to the neatness of my gaming area. I was very surprised how small this SSD is compared to others, it can easily fit in your pocket. Included Protective Casing: A noteworthy inclusion is the protective casing that comes with this SSD. It offers added protection during travel, ensuring my SSD remains scratch-free and secure, without the need to worry of dropping or damaging it. Two Different Cables for Portability: This SSD also impresses with its versatility, thanks to the inclusion of both USB-C – USB-A and USB-C – USB-C cables. This thoughtful touch ensures compatibility with my other products such as windows pc or a macbook, enhancing its portability and convenience. Performance: Performance-wise, the SK Hynix External SSD shines. It significantly reduces load times, making the transition from agonizing loading screens to seamless gameplay a reality. There's also a noticeable reduction in texture pop-in, enhancing the overall visual quality. Compatibility: While primarily designed for PS5 games, this SSD handles PS4 games admirably. PS4 games load quickly and run smoothly, offering a seamless experience across generations. It is always an option to store PS5 games in this SSD, however Sony unfortunately does not allow full potential to play PS5 games from external SSD yet. Speed: I got a writing speed of around 400 MB/s on PS5, have not tested the speed on other devices yet. The game installations and updates are quick. Large files are handled efficiently, reducing downtime and maximizing playtime. Conclusion: In conclusion, the SK Hynix External SSD is a practical and indispensable accessory for a gamer. It enhances game performance while seamlessly fitting into your (portable) gaming setup. The added protective casing and versatile cables for portability make it an even more attractive choice. This SSD has genuinely elevated my gaming experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow gamers seeking to optimize their gaming setup.

This is a cute little digital hard drive. It connects without issue, laptop identified it straight away, its fast, very portable, excellent quality, very quirky looking, in a good way, The 512gb is adequate for my steam games, it plays games with no lag, so in my opinion its Perfect.

El diseño es muy bonito, muy muy compacto. Yo formatee el SSD para funcionar con el Apple Fole System y lo encripté. Hice varias pruebas y sin problema llega a los 1000mb/s que promete. Justamente transferí 50GB de archivos en menos de 1 minuto. Muy muy recomendado para dispositivos Apple (Mac, iPad y iPhone) Ojalá sea duradero, pero de momento excelente y muy buen precio! (Pagué menos de $800 por 512GB)

Très bon produit. Cependant, Amazon voulant toujours faire plus d'argent, à un service client, nul, mais vraiment très nul!! En effet, malgré plusieurs réclamation, POUR COLIS JETER PAR DESSUS UN PORTAIL ET DONC DEGRADE CASSE. Toujours la même rengaine, nous signalons votre réclamation, rien. Nous sommes en France, et chez nous, on ne balance pas les colis.. Ras le bol de devoir renvoyer les achats!!

I have 3 of these now! one 512GB and tow 1TBs. I wish they came in larger sizes but I use these all the time. I use one for work and travel and the other 2 I use for Steam and Emulation games for my ROG Ally connected to it's docking station. Very fast, Highly recommend these! #realhumanreview
