In the testing of this device, I found a 150GB file was transferred in just over 300 seconds which was at a rate of 350MBps. The sole connector is a USB 3.1 port which is great when used with the bundled USB-C to USB-C cable allowing it to hit the 550MBps which is higher than the Type-A alternative. The device is also shock-resistant and could handle a 2m drop although this is not something I have tried and is only from the manufacturer information. However, Be careful of the USB-C port otherwise it will be worthless if damaged. To add to that rugged design it is also IP55 rated however it’s not the type of device I would want to take that risk and drop it into the water but it’s nice to know it’s protected. Design-wise it looks great as well it has blue rubber surfaces to aid with handling and to protect it for bumps and also comes with an orange plastic loop at the top right allowing to connect onto a bag using a Carabiner.
