THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

The RhinoDrive is the one solid-state option in this ten-product batch. Its exact model DDSSD3M-1TB is listed as a 1TB external SSD with USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 2.0/1.1 compatibility and bus-powered operation. The B&H listing also describes a rubberized metal case and removable bumper. Those details may suit a portable workflow, but they are specifications from a retailer page, not our test of speed, durability or an individual unit. The page marks the listing no longer available, and neither that notice nor the historic Amazon ASIN establishes a current exact offer.

Consider it for

A buyer who needs 1TB of portable solid-state storage and values a source-listed enclosure and no-adapter setup.

Look elsewhere if

It is not a match for buyers who require an HDD rather than SSD, need more than 1TB, want a verified current Mylio subscription, or expect a guaranteed transfer or drop-test result.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • The exact model number maps to a 1TB external SSD rather than a mechanical drive.
  • The listing describes USB 3.1 Gen 1 with USB 2.0/1.1 compatibility and a bus-powered setup.
  • The rubberized metal enclosure and removable bumper are model-specific protection features in the saved listing.

What to weigh up

  • 400MB/s transfer and 300MB/s write are listed figures, not independent measurements or guarantees.
  • The protection language is not a specific IP rating or proof that a particular used unit survived impact or moisture.
  • B&H marks its offer no longer available, and the historic ASIN, current seller package and unit condition remain unknown.

Full review: how the features affect your choice

What the features mean for you

A different storage medium from the HDD choices

B&H identifies DDSSD3M-1TB as an external solid-state drive with 1TB capacity. That medium is the important comparison point: it is not another portable mechanical HDD and should be matched to a buyer who specifically accepts SSD storage. The page describes built-in error correction and wear leveling, but this review does not turn those features into a lifespan or reliability promise. The 1TB figure is nominal, and an individual drive's health is unknown. Keep another copy of important files, especially if the drive will travel with a camera or work archive. ([B&H listing](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1194333-REG/delkin_devices_ddssd3m_1tb_rhinodrive_usb_3_0_rugged.html), checked 2026-10-14.)

USB paths and bus power

The listing states USB 3.1 Gen 1 and backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1. It also says the RhinoDrive is bus-powered, which means the listed setup draws operating power from the computer rather than a separate adapter. That can reduce the gear required for a mobile workstation, but it does not guarantee every hub or low-power host will work with every cable. The USB interface rating is not a measured SSD file-copy result. Check the port and cable for the actual unit and choose a suitable host path before planning a repeated high-volume workflow around it. ([B&H overview](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1194333-REG/delkin_devices_ddssd3m_1tb_rhinodrive_usb_3_0_rugged.html), checked 2026-10-14.)

Read protection claims as listed features

B&H describes a rubberized metal enclosure, a removable bumper and shock, moisture and drop resistance. Those are seller-listed product specifications, not a numeric IP rating or our own test. The details can still help a buyer compare the intended enclosure with an ordinary plastic shell, but they do not show how a particular used drive was handled or whether its bumper and cable are present. If a specific environment rating is essential, ask for the exact rating and conditions rather than treating broad resistance language as proof of waterproofing or indestructibility.

Maximum rates are not a measured result

The retailer lists a data transfer rate of 400MB/s and a write speed of 300MB/s. These figures are not measurements we performed and should not be used as promised real-world throughput. Host controller, cable, file size, filesystem, workload and drive condition can all change actual transfers. The comparison gives no speed bonus from those numbers. Choose the RhinoDrive for its documented SSD medium, capacity and interface if they fit the job, and treat performance as something to verify on the exact system rather than infer from a listing headline.

Separate the old software bundle from current value

The listing includes a one-year Mylio Advanced subscription in the product-era package description. That is historical bundle information, not an available subscription today. B&H marks its page no longer available, and the current seller package is unknown. Before buying, confirm the seller's exact model, bumper, cable, return terms and whether any service offer is still redeemable. This profile uses a tagged Amazon model search because the saved historical ASIN does not establish a current exact Amazon offer. The SSD may be the right medium for a portable 1TB role, but no software bundle or present price is assumed.

Before you buy

Is this an HDD?

No. B&H identifies DDSSD3M-1TB as an external SSD. Keep it distinct from the mechanical HDD choices.

Are 400MB/s and 300MB/s measured speeds?

No. They are retailer-listed specifications, not benchmark results for a current unit and host.

Does the Mylio subscription come with a current offer?

That is not established. The saved listing describes a launch bundle and is marked no longer available; verify any present seller package independently.

Where can I check the current price?

Use the Amazon link for current offers. Check the exact model, seller, product condition, delivery, and return terms. This page does not display a live price or confirm stock.
