QuestionIs this a good for storing data for over 5+ yrs? I don't plan to use it often, just wanna back up data once every 6 months and forget it. Also, can we disable encryption to minimize data loss risk, in case something fails or forget pswd.
Asked 5 years ago by alih.
- Answer If you are just storing data and using it every 6 months or so without planning to be using it constantly I would recommend a normal HDD in all honesty. You can get a 4TB one for the cost of this one that serves the same purpose. A SSD is only REALLY good if you will be constantly using it (video editing, playing games from it, moving files from) cause of it's speed advantage and not so much for long term storage in all honesty.
  I would recommend:

QuestionCan device store all sorts of data, including documents? Can texts and photos be transferred directly from a cell phone? What sort of USB cords & ports are required? Are cords included with device? Thanks & God Bless You & You bless others by Staying Safe
Asked 5 years ago by Georgia.
- Answer Yes, every type of file can be stored on this SSD, there is not file type limitation. It includes a USB Typc-C cables and a USB Typa-a to Type C cable. Usb Type-A is the normal USB that we've all been using for the past couple decades, and Type-C is the new version that's better in many ways but isn't as popular yet, just give it time and it will fully replace the Typa-A version.

Questionis this good for gaming?
Asked 5 years ago by John.
- Answer Yes it is made for gaming! In fact it's highly reviewed as one of the top gaming external SSD's! This item I had to locate in the gaming section of the store where they keep the Nintendo switches and other ps5, xbox seriex X accessories locked up. Strongly recommend this product to improve load times, you will notice a huge difference.
