Windows Laptop Boot From Usb

This little USB drive is used to house a portable Windows 11 Pro system. Can be used to boot up any system such as in hotel bussiness center or library. The metal case protects it from being in a pocket or bag every day plus helps with heat dissipation.

PC or laptop will not boot due to faulty hardware? No problem - your data will not be lost. The 2.5/3.5" drive docking station connects to your PC / laptop and loads the hard drive as another drive so you access your coveted data! Connecting by usb or esata the transfer speeds do not disappoint. If there was a way to have the docking station powered over a usb cable without needing the power adapter that would be the only change I would make to this device. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

I already had the VLC media player ap installed on my windows 10 laptop, so when I plugged this into my USB port straight from the box, it was recognized and functioned immediately. If your computer doesn't have a driver, Transcend provides one free, but you must download one in order to use external drives--perhaps that's why some users claim their player wouldn't work?

i have tested this with both a Mac and Windows laptop, and am currently using it with a new 2024 Mac (which only has 2x USB-C ports on the rear). Perfect for plugging in USB memory sticks, an old USB printer, and an external USB HDD for Time Machine backup. Positives - very fast (10Gbps), small and compact, great for travel, no drivers needed, Works with multiple O/S. Negative - Well the only thing i can think of is when its on my desk under the Mac, (with the cable going away from you) the Startech logo is upside down! Very minor point, but this is the only negative i can come up with. Highly recommended product, im very pleased with it.

Generally speaking, pleased with performance on my 64-bit, Windows 7 laptop, USB 3.0 port. I don't have precise metrics, but the read and write speeds are very impressive for files of all sizes. When I first started using it, I had to reformat it to NTFS so it could take some very large (8GB) files i have. Ergonomically, the retraction mechanism is a little odd and takes some getting used to - no big deal though. I have just had it for a few weeks - so its too early to comment on its longevity and reliability. But my past experience with SanDisk products is excellent.

I recently upgraded the OS on an old Windows laptop from Win 7 to Win 8.1.  After the update, I found that the SD card reader in the laptop no longer worked.  A BIOS and/or driver update was needed, which the manufacturer no longer supported. This SD to USB reader came to the rescue!   Transfer speed is excellent.  It is also fully compatible with my UHS-I SD cards and USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports. Highly recommended and five stars!

super lightweight (the lightest 14 maybe?), excellent battery life and performance. I don't experience the USB disconnect (a floppy drive?!) that the other reviewer spoke about. This laptop comes with Windows 11 not Windows 10 as per the other reviewer rant. However, this laptop does try to force Amazon on you, but you can remove that. I appreciate the 16:10 screen, it's bright, and not reflective, perfect for actually doing work. extra large trackpad is responsive. USB-C charging is convenient and fast. Loaded Roblox for my kids, the integrated graphics actually can easily handle Roblox. speakers are pretty good, work as expected for a laptop.

Bluetooth pairs well with Windows or Linux on my laptop, and the USB adapter provides reliable fallback. The mouse fits my large hands, feels solid, and responds smoothly.

I have no issues with it at all. I connected it to my 4k laptop and even with the resolution difference, windows works without issues. The only bad thing is that its USB connector is placed in a way that does not allow me to really align it very tightly with my laptop screen, unless I place it on the left side. Also, if this would have been wireless with about of 8 hours of operation (I know, I want a lot) would be phenomenal!

I bought these for our company to do at home recorded videos on their laptops with better audio quality than the built in laptop microphone. I just tested it and compared it to the laptop mic and there is a very noticeable increase in quality when using the usb lav. At first it was way too over modulated but then I realized I needed to tweak the mic settings in windows 10. First, plug it in and let it download the drivers automatically. Then, type the word sound in the windows 10 search bar and click sound settings. In there, go to the microphone area and make sure the usb lav is the active one selected. Once it is, click on device properties and in that menu adjust the volume slider until you have a proper microphone level that isn't topping out too much to the right on the sound level bar. I put mine around 40-50 but it depends on how close the mic is to you mouth.
