PORTABLE SSD Mobile Storage 4TB! BUYER BEWARE! DON'T BELIEVE IT'S REALLY SSD!

【External SSD】Large capacity, high-speed transmission, shockproof, versatile, compact
purchased from a Japanese company called iodpmme
Nov 15,2022
It has come to light that I have been cheated over this false Portable SSD storage! Some smart KZbinrs informed me about this not being truly SSD! There is a video by another YT who painstakingly tried opening the same device and discovered micro sd cards attached to a chip board.
Don't keep your data on it for too long. I am still going to use it to transfer data but will not keep important things on it.
Summary
The article discusses a portable SSD drive that was purchased for a good price. It provides information about SSD drives, including how they compare to HDD drives in terms of reliability, speed, weight, and cost. The article shows the unboxing of the SSD drive, testing it out on different devices, and demonstrating how to transfer photos from a phone to free up space.
Highlights
Introduction to the portable SSD drive
The author purchased two 4TB portable SSD drives for a total of $60. He will compare SSD drives to HDD drives in terms of various factors like speed and reliability.
00:00:24Details and specifications of the SSD drive
The SSD drive is shockproof, versatile, compact, and compatible across platforms like Windows, Android, iOS, and Mac. It is advertised as 4TB but actually has 3.81TB free space.
00:01:38Unboxing and setup of the SSD drive
The unboxing shows the SSD drive itself which is small, lightweight, and metal. It comes with a Type-C cable and adapters for Android and USB. The author plugs it into a computer and confirms it is recognized and has the advertised capacity.
00:03:52Using the SSD drive to transfer phone data
To free up space on an iPhone, photos can be transferred to the SSD drive when connected to a computer. This is demonstrated by cutting a photo from the iPhone storage and pasting it into the SSD drive folder.
00:05:18Final thoughts
The author finds the drive useful for extra storage and freeing up smartphone space. The included adapters are not very useful. The drive is lightweight for portability and easy data transfers.

Glad i check product before i buy

PLEASSE BEWARE - SO MANY PPL DONT KNOW THIS these are not really 4tb, once you write over say 250gb or whatever size the sd card is it will start to rewrite your Data. IT WILL CORRUPT EVERYTHING!!! I made a video on it - you can check it out.

[@UNBOXINGFORYOUJAMES]

It's true! It wiped my folder clean!

[@germandps]

Anoche me llegó uno de 2 TB, le hice las pruebas por varias horas y la capacidad real es de 256 GB , siendo realista es rápida, pero a final es una estafa, me costó como 9 dólares con envío Perú.

I wish I would have seen this. Just bought two of these for my family and they're not even recognized by the computer. Wish me luck on getting a refund.

Well im about to make an online payment and i suddenly got curious about how ssd works... and i stumbled upon this video and cancelled the order right away. How my random thoughts saved me😂

[@UNBOXINGFORYOUJAMES]

Sorry for not warning you earlier about this device! It's a scam! It automatically erased all my data in it! I just made a video of me opening it and revealing the inside! You'll see what I mean! I was scammed!

[@susanchedaker2736]

Smart!

[@dinahaggag8221]

Sometimes after I transfer some photos from my mobile or laptop to my SSD , after I remove the SSD cable and connect it again , I found all folders are empty !

[@UNBOXINGFORYOUJAMES]

I had to learn the hard way as well! Get rid of it

@@UNBOXINGFORYOUJAMES just do what i did bud. Spend good money on a decent SSD 2TB or higher. I paid 90 for mine and its fine for all my music.

Can you use it for the ps5

[@mopatel9711]

Anyone?

[@anoxmous2745]

I bought mine off of dhgate and for me personally it seems like it works but it doesn't just because when you want to download games the app that you are using to download the game off of wont detect it or will say "disk write error". When it comes to transferring folders or any sort of file that is over 100mb it is slow and to compare I had a seagate 2tb hard drive and it was much faster than the portable SSD. The SSD is unreliable and is not worth wasting your time or your money over it. I will be returning it, get my money back, and purchase something that will be on the more expensive side but it will at least be usable, reliable, and overall faster and better than these scamming portable ssd's.

[@Appalachianhillbilly24639]

I bought a 2 TB and it sucks it takes forever to upload anything to it then it will just eject for no reason I will never buy this again

[@goodguyproductions2367]

Mine doesnt even read at all, computer doesn't see it.

[@muhammedaliather2743]

NO ITs not an SSD, I just opened mine after it crashed and to my surprise it has a dual SD card reader inside it with one SD card installed aaarrr I feel cheated

[@UNBOXINGFORYOUJAMES]

I was also disappointed to be deceived!

[@BonJoviTrader1]

I have so much PC Games and and thousends of Movies and CD files. Is this External SSD good for that? Can i put all my PC Games, Movies and CD files into this External SSD and play PC Games from this External SSD? Or is this more for Iphone, i mean Phones and something like that? I found one, it's the same Mark, but it's 8 TB and a little bit thinner and longer, thank you!

[@UNBOXINGFORYOUJAMES]

Don’t get this because it deleted all my files by itself! Others have said the same thing. I’m thinking of taking the video down.

[@joelbarata7005]

@@UNBOXINGFORYOUJAMES Been having the same problem with the files and also noticed that the writing speed (14.4Mbytes/s) is too low for an SSD. Made a bit of research and found out that this may be the case of a fake SSD. Something tells me that if I open up the casing, I'll find micro SDs soldered onto a board. XD

[@UNBOXINGFORYOUJAMES]

I just opened and smashed mine! I will be revealing the inside of the so called Portable SSD!@@joelbarata7005

[@Dannychow22545]

All these years, I never knew about the "cut" feature. I always just moved files over and delete the old ones manually. But as your video points out, using "cut" saves that step.

[@UNBOXINGFORYOUJAMES]

Glad it helped you!

[@incubatork]

Even easier still than copy/past is drag with right mouse button and select move here from the emerging menu, all done

[@lycanhd]

How could you not know there's a cut option?

[@arthurmacedomenezesdearaujo]

you can also use crtl + x to cut and then ctrl + v to paste.

Can it be used with windows 11?

Welp already made the mistake of buying it😛 any use for this thing since i cant return it??

[@incubatork]

A lot of these ssd drives are fake, try transfering a big file like a dvd iso +/- 3.5gb s and see what happens, or open it up to find a small SD card soldered in

[@UNBOXINGFORYOUJAMES]

Ok

this dude had no idea about those pieces of garbage by the time he make this video, poor guy

[@mannycarrion7862]

i just bought 3 just want that sd card board thats inside it and buy 2tb sd cards then put it back togher so i dont if its fake or not shit im geting 64tb if it is i got one once and thought it was fake it said that it was 30ptf flops but at least it truned out to be 2tb so to me i got off cheap

[@GregoryPatent]

My question is, is this pssible to connect this drive to USB in TV to watch movie? I am asking this because my TV does not recognizes any flash drive or SSD formated to exFat or NTFS. It requires only FAT 32 drive. So, would you please answer, if it pssible to format this SSD in FAT 32? Thank you very much. Greg.

Sir please do not buy this drive! I had my data wiped away!

@UNBOXING FOR YOU JAMES Ive been looking at these online... how did you figure out that youve been "scammed"?? Did something happen to your data?

[@UNBOXINGFORYOUJAMES]

@@seefs1222 Hello and thank you for checking out my channel. Some commentors saw my video and quickly told me that I was scammed. I didn't believe them at first till I noticed some of my data that I saved onto this so called SSD drive disappeared. I knew I transferred data to it because it was just a simple drag and drop. Other files were saved but some vanished. I could not find them on my other drives. Then I investigated what those commentors said about me getting scammed and saw the exact SSD drive on JAYS TECH VAULT. The tech guy opened the exact drive and showed that it wasn't a true SSD drive but Micro SDs soldered onto a chip board. I would stick will portable HDD drives. Hope this helps.
