    USB 2.0 speed with USB-C connector
    It is a pretty quite drive that will not bother you if it is on for a long time. It is a lot of storage for the price. The USB connection has options. Write speed is pretty consistent and matches tech specs.This is a fine drive but do not expect speeds that you might expect with USB-C.USB-C is up to 20 Gbps and could power the device without an extra power supply. That is not what this is. The specs are say it is 195 mbps which is not fast. Fast drives are 500mbs and up. It is about half USB-2.0 speeds. It is still good for a backup drive and for those that do not have USB-A connectors. Just know what you are getting.It comes with a decent length USB-C to USB-C cable. It also comes with a USB-A to USB-C connector too. I found both convenient. I would have given it 5 stars if it was powered by the USB-C cable. (But if that was the case then know that it could not be flexibly used in the older USB-A connector.)UPDATE: 5-stars actually fastThe specs say 195Mbps but on USB-3.2 Windows real world transfers under optimal conditions are reporting 4x to reasonably long spikes of 8x that rate. Windows reports MBps which is meagbytes per second while Mbps is megabits per second. The proof is in clock time, the transfers of are fast. Optimal conditions are large files. All transfers of tiny files takes a long time to handshake each one before it starts writing. First it has to add and entry in the directory structure then it has to start moving the data. For large files the move is longer than the directory entry.
