With a retractable USB Type-A connector, the ESD320A is a convenient and efficient external storage option that you won't want to miss out on

Review: Decent thumb drive - Decent performance and form factor. Used it as an external drive for my MacBook Air M1, and now with my Macmini M4. No complaints. Durable metal case with sliding protection for USB connector. Wish it had USB C though.
Review: So Far So Good - I have installed a complete operating system (Linux Mint 21.3) along with all my document, video, and music files on this drive because it is advertised to be a 3D NAND portable SSD (although it looks like extra large thumb drive). I move the drive back forth between two home computers and also use it my laptop. I am hoping to get longevity from this drive close to what would be offered by an M2 2280 3D NAND internal SSD. I used LUKS full drive encryption. I also later ordered a second one of these drives, which I use for a complete drive backup (via dd command) about once per week. I had run a speed test using gnome disks using various size files, which returned read speeds between write 370 MB/sec and 440 MB/sec and 310 MB/sec and 420 MB/sec. I use the drive 5 to 6 times per week 2 to 5 hours at a time on a journaling file system. If it doesn't last at least a year, I will update this review. It runs a little hot but my application is really making it work.
