Is this as fast as a normal external SSD?

No. The stated 20 Mbps is far below typical portable SSD speeds, which run into hundreds of MB/s. Expect flash-drive pace, not SSD pace.

How much space do I actually get?

The drive is listed as 1TB with 976GB usable, the usual gap between marketed and formatted capacity. Some buyers question whether the full amount is real.

Will it work with a Mac or a phone?

It uses Type-C to USB 3.1, so it connects to USB-C laptops, including Macs, and to USB-C phones with the right adapter. You may need to reformat it for macOS.

Does it need a power adapter?

No. It draws power over the USB connection.

Is it good for video editing or game storage?

No. The slow transfer rate makes it unsuitable for editing footage or running games; it suits document and photo backup only.

What comes in the box?

The drive and a Type-C to USB 3.1 cable. No case or adapter is listed.

Our take on the 1 Terabyte External SSD Solid State Hard Backup Drive

The Zacfeain 1TB External SSD is a metal-cased portable drive with a Type-C to USB 3.1 connection, sold as a backup drive for photos, documents and files. Its stated transfer rate of 20 Mbps is far below what a solid-state drive can do and is closer to a slow USB flash drive, so it is not a drive for editing video or moving large folders quickly. Buyers rate it 2.9 out of 5, and the pattern of complaints points to a drive that looks the part but does not deliver SSD-level speed or reliability. For the same outlay, a name-brand portable SSD or a plain USB 3.0 flash drive is the safer pick.
