HPP600 250GB Portable USB 3.1 External SSD 3XJ06AA#ABC

good

A lightweight, solid-feeling, perfectly rectangular box about the size of a deck of cards, these drives are great for tossing in a briefcase and hauling back and forth every day. Files copy quickly without the delay you'd get on a thumb drive, even on USB 2 ports. The actual drive is actually only half the thickness of the package -- about 8 mm -- with the bottom half dedicated to a magnetically-attached case for holding the detachable cord and adapter plug.However, as others have said, the drive contains three independent controllers: two 125.0 GB drives, and a 49.4 MB read-only drive detected as a CD-ROM. These are not partitions -- they really are separate drives. However, this can be useful since you can dedicate each drive to a specific task (install programs on one, store data on the other) or format each with a different file system (handy if you switch between Windows and Linux systems often). The only obnoxious part is the read-only drive, containing a Windows disk encryption application. It clutters up drive listings and you're stuck with it whether you want it or not.

Works perfectly. I use it as a backup for some pictures, videos I've posted or am editing and more. It is pretty high speed and very adorable. It works with PlayStations for external storage and also on PC or Android.

Good product. Fast read and write speed. My only issue is that when plugged in, it shows up as two separate drives. Not two partitions, but two separate drives. You can fix this (sort of) with the included encryption software, but then your disk is fully encrypted and can’t be used for anything other than secure storage. I haven’t found any way to merge the two drives yet. Will update review if HP provides a solution.

As of now, it is large enough. Yea, yea, I know, you can never have too much storage space. This is providing an adequate amount, for now. It is small enough to slip in a pocket, or Velcro to the outside of a Chromebook and still fit it in laptop bag.

First, it works really well. the two part parts are the drive itself (which works well) and a top that hold a small cable. the two parts hold together magnetically. The only downside is that the cable is short ... but it does fit the small size. Reasonable trade-off for my purposes.
