Tianken Ultra Slim Portable External Hard Drive USB 3.1 Type C HDD Storage for PC

Bottom line: The Ultra Slim Portable External Hard Drive USB 3.1 Type C HDD Storage: USB 3.1 Type-C interface rated up to 10Gbps, backward compatible with USB 3.0 and 2.0; main trade-off: 250GB is an entry capacity; a heavy console game library will outgrow it fast.
