This is an awesome little portable hard drive. With its small size and wireless connectivity, it’s useful in a number of different ways. Check it out! Buy on Amazon: amzn.to/34x9bDc
For everyone's clarity - that is *not* a proprietary USB jack, it is USB 3.0 Micro B. Very standard/common. You'll never have a problem finding these 👍
Great review directly to the point and clear video angles and audio and exactly info everyone would be looking for. Wish more reviews were like yours. Keep it up and thanks
Wouldn't you have a connection and configuration tutorial? I have one of those, I have downloaded the app on my phone but it does not detect it thank you
I wish you showed the actual set-up, ie. connecting the WiFi, etc, software etc. I have followed all manual unstructions etc, I can't get WiFi connection to the drive, etc. After lights turn blue, 30 seconds later it flashes green and doesn't change, no WiFi etc. Very frustrated here...
Hello. Is it possible to use it as an video server? I mean, can I store my mkv videos to it and stream it to a phone using vlc and DLNA protocol? Regards.
I know im Years late - But can I please find out if I can have the Ethernet plugged in and the USB to my pc to be able to have it on my network whilst being able to have my laptop connected to it via usb for better file transfers - Different Network!?
I'm considering this for a (very) small business aspect. I have 3 computers, all in the same room, but I would like to access my files via all 3 computers. I have a "mobile hotspot" style internet (not a tiny hotspot but a large yeti cup sized box that is my wireless T-Mobile internet modem that DOES have an available ethernet port on the back). Ok, here's my question... Can I connect this SSK to my T-Mobile internet modem and then be able to access my files wirelessly, easily, within the one room? Even though this SSK is "portable", I would basically leave it sitting in place all the time (does it come with a plug that I can just leave in plugged in so it'll stay charged and accessible all the time? If not, does it tell me which one I could buy to facilitate this?). Lastly, do I HAVE TO install the app on the 3 computers I'd be using it on or would it sort of just be like a "server" sitting over there? The server concept is what I'm looking for, but I do like that it's portable if/when need be. I think, from your video, if I wanted to back up my phone or something, I'd have to install the app, but I'm curious about having to install it on my computers. Thank you for your time and for that video. It is really good content. Thumbs up!
need a honest benchmark of the speed for ethernet, wifi and usb transfers good idea product but stuff like these are usually too good to be true with all bells and whistle for low price then they perform like crap think i saw the other 4TB model only transfer up to 20MB/s lmfao on LAN!
The instruction book for this is not clear, especially when it comes to the password when trying to set it up. your video does not show how to set up to the Wifi.
Can this be used along with the Ethernet connection and via the usb? Lets say it is directly connected to a machine via USB and then a machine access it via ethernet. Is this possible?
Hello, Great video! Very helpful. I have the same question as above. Can you use this drive to transfer files via USB and then, with it still connected via USB, can you wirelessly view those files that just transferred to the hard drive?
I have the exact same question and it is a shame that this video did not cover that use case. I travel a lot and don’t like bringing my laptop. It would be great to know if this can be used to transfer from my SD cards to this HD and also see what the user interface looks like. For instance, how do I know when it has finished?
Can a Roku or Fire Stick see it? If I connect the Roku to the SSK's wi-fi can it see the files on the drive? So what I am asking is can you access the files without the SSK app like on your phone?
DO NOT BUY THIS DEVICE!!! It’s Chinese junk! I fell for this 2 years ago bought the 2tb drive because I wanted to store all my movies on them and wirelessly watch them on my phone. The app interface is clunky and often doesn’t work! When it does work and you wirelessly upload your file from your phone and then turn it off VIOLA!! They are gone. Just vanished!

Glad it was helpful, and I appreciate your comment.
Great video - loved the presentation and personal touch with sharing the features, apps, etc. Thank you.
Wouldn't you have a connection and configuration tutorial? I have one of those, I have downloaded the app on my phone but it does not detect it
thank you
Thanks for the detailed look at this drive. That was very helpful info!
Thank you for the comment Greg! I love playing around with drives like these.
Thanks for showing us. Can two computers access the files at the same time? Kind of like a NAS?
I just wish they had hidden wifi network option and increased wifi security with it
2 years later I have a question. Can this be ethernet connected to a router to use as an NAS?
Can you wifi from let's say, a Canon Rebel T6? It seems to support wifi. But could I transfer photo's on the fly directly from my camera to the SSK?

Hi Jetlash.. if I'm using PC to connect wireless to drive..can we access the drive files without using ssk app?

Can you upgrade the storage?
Perfect solution to a world with no sd card in phones
I've just ordered one of these, can you access it over a network without using the SSK app?
The instruction book for this is not clear, especially when it comes to the password when trying to set it up. your video does not show how to set up to the Wifi.
Does it auto download photos or files when you come into range?
Great video. Is there a option for me to transfer from micro sd card via USB reader when I connect it?
Can this be used along with the Ethernet connection and via the usb? Lets say it is directly connected to a machine via USB and then a machine access it via ethernet. Is this possible?
Hello, Great video! Very helpful. I have the same question as above. Can you use this drive to transfer files via USB and then, with it still connected via USB, can you wirelessly view those files that just transferred to the hard drive?
no
What is the wireless range?
Can anyone tell me how to transfer my sd card photos to the ssk. With out wifi.

Can you copy from sd card directly to the ssk? Thanks for the help
Yes it has a usb port just get a USB adapter for the sd card.
Thx for video its helping
Can we update the hard drive Or
I must buy another one !
If i will buy another one
I dont see in amazon one with 3TP
Or 4TP
Here's the one I bought - amzn.to/34x9bDc
You can update it, but it's not updateable through the app.
@@jettlash1000 again u the best thx you
how do we take out the hdd and replace it with ssd ? Is that feasible?
that would be awesome if it’s possible. Maybe someone else can chime in that’s tried something like that.
@@jettlash1000 I don’t have it, maybe someone who bought it may try and let us know?
Hello. Thank you for this interesting review.
Does this hard drive has its own proprietary wifi or can it share the LAN wifi of the router ?
Thank you
I have videos to hide 😂😂😂😂
I bought this and I'm having trouble getting the initial connection. Anyone have any tips?
Keep getting "device not set up for remote access " but wifi set up etc. Have iphone 11.
Can a Roku or Fire Stick see it?
If I connect the Roku to the SSK's wi-fi can it see the files on the drive?
So what I am asking is can you access the files without the SSK app like on your phone?
no
Can i change the HDD to SSD ?
can you connect a camera to it?
That’s a good question, I don’t see why not.
Is this for his or ssd?
Does it work with an iPhone?
Yes, it has an app it works through or you can directly connect it with aftermarket dongles.
DO NOT BUY THIS DEVICE!!! It’s Chinese junk! I fell for this 2 years ago bought the 2tb drive because I wanted to store all my movies on them and wirelessly watch them on my phone.

Thanks to late but ill just use it as a charging device
That USB 3 connector is an open standard, not proprietary.
