Needs a better cable. *by M***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 6, 2015* Works exceptionally well with my mid-2015 Retina Macbook Pro. I have partitioned 50GB of space on my Mac's internal SSD as a bootcamp drive and I use the ShadowMini as a second drive in my Windows 8 installation on which every program, apart from the base Windows files, is installed. I have installed Microsoft Office, Steam (with a handful of games) and a couple of Windows utilities to the ShadowMini and everything runs smoothly and seamlessly off the drive. I get very good read/write speeds of about 350-380 Mbps which are far higher than anything delivered by a traditional external drive. Games like Far Cry 4, load fairly quickly and run without hiccups. I have stuck the drive with double sided tape to the lid of my MacBook so that its always there. This drive suits my purpose exactly as I had intended and expected and therefore, deserves a full 5 star rating.The downsides include the heat generation of the unit over a period of sustained use, especially gaming. It can get very hot but so far, it doesn't seem to affect its performance. In addition, the USB 3.0 cable that came with the unit was a little loose fitting and the laptop would show disconnections of the drive frequently when moved. Switching the default cable with that of a Seagate Backup Plus drive solved that problem. ### ⭐⭐⭐ UPDATE: Customer service replaced broken device immediately! Original review: Bad device! Stopped working after 10 minutes *by P***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 1, 2017* UPDATE 2/21/17:My original Shadow Mini broke immediately upon use, copying 80GB of files. (Overheated, caused my system's wifi and mouse to stop working. Possibly shorted USB cable / drawing too much current)However, customer support was EXCELLENT, and immediately sent me a new replacement drive for free, which is currently working fine.Rating is updated to three stars, because the original malfunctioning device has given me some concern about the reliability of the drive for storing important data. However, I've had no problems yet, within three weeks of use. It does seem to get a little bit too hot for comfort, but the device has not yet stopped working.UPDATE: CURRENTLY IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH CUSTOMER SUPPORTCustomer support contacted me promptly, and has promised to send a replacement device. Depending on the outcome of the second device, I'll update the review here.ORIGINAL REVIEW:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------I got the drive this evening, and immediately plugged it in and started copying 80GB worth of MP3s over. The drive got quite hot during the transfer. After coming back 10 minutes later, it's disconnected and can't be found by disk scans, and doesn't show up upon removing/plugging back in. Appears to be totally dead. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great portable storage *by F***4 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 12, 2020* I've had this storage device for a few years and it's great! It's very easy to use, small/very portable, comes with a nice case, and it's fast. I use it for storage between my personal computers and work computers, and it works great.Some users have mentioned it being slow, but honestly it's not that bad. I can write several Gb of data on to it in a couple mins.I would recommend it to others! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1403412-shadow-mini-external-512gb-usb-3-1-portable-solid-state](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1403412-shadow-mini-external-512gb-usb-3-1-portable-solid-state) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
