The SSK 1TB is a budget route to full USB 3.2 Gen 2 speed. It is rated up to 1,050MB/s over USB-C, the same class as the Samsung T7 and the original SanDisk Extreme, and in everyday use that means large video folders and game libraries move in minutes rather than the quarter-hour a portable hard drive needs. What you give up against the big names is brand support: the warranty is shorter and there is no hardware encryption or companion software worth mentioning. For a backup drive, a PS5 or Xbox extended storage drive, or a drive that lives in a laptop bag, those omissions rarely matter. The rating holds up across several thousand buyers, which is the main reassurance with a lesser-known brand. Pick it if you want 10Gbps speed at the lowest cost per terabyte. If you need a longer warranty or plan to hand the drive to a client, the Samsung T7 or SanDisk Extreme is the safer buy.
