Late last year I received the for use with my Chuwi Larkbox, blogged elsewhere in here.
The Larkbox can handle an extra internal M.2 2242 SSD as against it’s default internal 128GB eMMC – unfortunately only up to 128GB (I discovered that too late) and not the kind of SSD I received – be VERY careful to check you get the right type of SSD if you have a Larkbox and want to expand it. My NETAC 512GB Flash Drive was going to expand the Larkbox – but it can’t.
Anyway, rather than face a total loss, I figured I’d have an inexpensive SSD enclosure to make use of the SSD, namely the
Armed with both a 512GB SSD and a USB3 enclosure to go with it, I was all set – all that remained was to plug it into my PC and format the disk by the usual DISK MANAGER. Done in seconds – works perfectly.
I did a quick, somewhat un-scientific test of the drive. I have a 7200RPM (recently defragged and mostly empty) 1TB hard drive (D:) on my PC – here are the tests I did, copying the game HUE which amounts to around 456MB on disk (334 files):
Disk to Netac - 8 secs
Disk to disk - 19 secs
Netac to Netac - 8 secs
Netac to disk - 9 secs
Overall, a useful addition to my kit.
