SSK 1TB Portable NAS External SSD, External Solid State Drive Personal Cloud Smart Storage Supports Auto-Backup, Phone/Tablet PC/Laptop

I purchased the SSK-F200 to be used mainly as a NAS drive – as a NAS drive it is very good value. The WiFi facility is a useful bonus. . But the main advantage is the ability to operate the drive in NTFS/ExFAT file system. Most NAS devices (even diskless devices) sold these days have bespoke file systems and operating systems, so if the device fails you are committed to either buying the same model again or scrapping the device and losing you data – even if the disk is not affected. . I discovered that the drive needs a little customisation, and some features do not work as they should – but workarounds are available – please read on. The drive is supplied formatted to ExFAT – I hit problems copying large files to it (c. >1.4 GB), resulting in errors. As soon as I reformatted the drive to NTFS, this problem disappeared. . With NAS drives it is important to use a static IP address, otherwise the drive would have to be remapped each time it is switched on. I found that I could not set a static IP Address using the App or the Windows Webpage – but I overcame this by using the router facility. This failing was acknowledged by SSK. . When used in NAS mode I discovered that the WiFi signal is still active even when it is not needed, I mentioned this to SSK as a suggestion for improvement to enable the WiFi to be switched off and they have acknowledged this. Further with WiFi, the signal has a very wide bandwidth – covering at least six channels – perhaps this could be narrowed somewhat and the channel number be user selectable as the signal does interfere with other WiFi devices. . One potential problem is that there seems to be no visible means to open the device, so replacing or upgrading the drive is not possible – perhaps SSK can address this aspect too. . Accessing the drive via it's WiFi, either though the App of the Windows web page is rather cumbersome since this is straying from the usual Windows Explorer interface. . SSK Customer Support is EXCELLENT – I emailed a list of questions to SSK support at the email address contained in the User Manual – I received a reply about 8 hours later (overnight) – VERY fast response and all my questions were politely answered to my satisfaction. The User Manual is quite comprehensive and in good English. . I have not tested any of the other software as I prefer the manual approach. . A good value, versatile little drive – well worth buying. . Hope this helps you decide.

In theory this is a great idea. A self-powered, high capacity drive accessible via WiFi. The fact that the cardboard box was shredded in places should have been a clue to future problems. The drive seemed OK in it's foam shell though, so charged it and tried to get it setup. The manual illustrations don't match the screens on the app so setup is nigh on impossible. Once I got it seen by my phone and entered the setup utility, the app refused to let me set up a drive name or password. Until you get past this, you can go no further. After 2 days of trying, I gave up and returned it for a refund. I may have been unlucky but several other reviews echo my experience. Caveat emptor

Bought this as i liked the idea of using the wireless feature and go watch movies round friends houses without the faff of plugging in a usb into a tv and eventually forgetting to take it home becuase its stuck behind a massive tv, anyway. I went for the SSD over the HDD knowing that transfering movies to it would be quicker and hoping it will play movies over network. conclusion. will work but bit faffy. music played good. 1080p works with enough buffer time. slow overall. loading pictures onto phones tablets from the device stuggles after 7mb file sizes, few images past the 12mb size wont open or show preview, however you can download them to device with no issues then open. over wifi is expectidly slower. so for example i tried transfering a 4GB file from phone to device via wifi and it estimated between 4 and 5 hours, tried instead plugging phone and drive into a computer and the file transfered in less than 5 minutes. so yea wont be using this for transfering large files via wifi. the softwere that comes with it, will not work. phone, tablet, pc, mac. will not work. but not the end of the world as you can use the samba protocol to map the drive, on pc, phones and tvs if you can download the correct softwere for example kodi player, im not going into detail but will list the nessacery details you will need to log in. on the phone i could use mx player to stream from the drive to the phone via wifi, and access the file system through cx file explorer. so how did i use it without the softwere, first i connected the device to the local wifi, i did this by holding power button for several seconds untill turned on and flashs, now gte your phone out and connect to it via wifi, mine was called F200-07-10, it will connect and say there is no internet what do you want to do and you say stay connected anyway, now open a browser goto 10.10.10.254 it will ask for user name and password they are both admin, now under the network tab in this webpage you can search hotspot find your local wifi and put your details in then the device is connected to the wifi. now using the app cx file explorer we can find its address on our network. so in the app goto network, +new location, remote tab, local netwrok, and here it will scan and show you your wifi drive as an address (you need this) mine is 192.168.1.30 with this address you can connect it to your devices you will also need to know the share path, which is: /share_sda1/ (this is your main drive) /usbsdb1/ (this is if you have anything plugged into the usb) so e.g. goto local netwrok find add new server and in the server box put smb://192.168.1.30/share_sda1/ untick log in automatically and put admin as username and password and your in on a pc right click network and click map drive and in folder box put \\192.168.1.30\share_sda1\ tick connect using different credentials and finsh, it will now ask for user name password (admin) hope this helps any one who has bought this and anyone whos tech savy wanting to use this to watch movies from im thinking i should have made me own nas drive from a rpi4, but after saying all that im keeping this as its compact and light and i can get it work if i keep away from 4k movies

Je souhaitais l'utiliser comme stockage mais utilisation mal aisé

Selam. Ürün siparişi verdikten kısa süre sonra hızla ulaştırıldı. Kapasite olarak ve boyut olarak fazlasıyla yeterli. Aktarım hızı gayet iyi ve mobil olarak uzaktan wi-fi özelliğiyle içeriklere erişme özelliği kolaylık sağlıyor. İhtiyaç duyanlara önerilir. Teşekkürler. 👊🏼

Svår att installera, för många moment.

Get’s a little too hot. Wirelessly used for Djaying.

Tutto bene => 5*
