Is this an SSD???

Go to solution Solved by BigChungus1009,

🤦‍♂️Just now decided to take a look at it. It's a portable charger. I feel like an idiot now.

Its a hand holding an unspecified black box with carbon print.
No sticker no connector, nothing on the picture to recognize it from.
I kinda thought it was a card wallet at first.

Maybe try a bit better. With the photo or your own research (looking for ports and such).

If you wanted to show off how clean your nails are, perfect photo, but for anything else its kinda pretty very useless. Sorry.

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!

Can you take some more pictures of it from different angles? (Preferably in the light. 😉 ) All we can tell from that photo is that it's a rectangle with rounded corners and a carbon fiber design.

 

It might just be a generic drive enclosure. If that's the case, the only way to find out what's inside is to open it up or plug it into a computer. (Don't plug random storage devices into computers you care about.)

I sold my soul for ProSupport.

We need a LOT more pics. Both large sides and any writing on the edges. Please don't cover a bunch of it with your normal sized hand, if you have a coin handy, they are useful for scale

plug it in and listen closely. if it's completely silent it's an SSD, if you hear whirring and clicking it's a HDD.

 

another way to tell is to transfer data, if you die of old age before it finishes it's almost certainly a HDD.

Hahah

When I saw the first pic I was like "Well that motif looks a lot like my old chinese powerbank"
