SSD drive
Small, fast, rugged SSD drive for traveling stuff. Only issue is that the provided cable is very short - like 4 inches total. It does include a USB-C to USB-A adapter, dual ended.

Great portable external drive
This drive is very thin and light, perfect for traveling in a small laptop bag. It is fast. I get 1000MB/s with it connected to a fast USB C 3.2 port on either my laptop or my desktop. I use it to transfer files between my desktop and my laptop - mostly photos and videos. I also use it to do backups of my laptop. I like it so much that I bought a second one. I got them at a great sale price!
