Overall this product hits a lot of what consumers are looking for in a portable SSD. Crucial which is a subsidiary of Micron has been a reputable brand for years and have provided some solid memory in the past which has lasted me for years. The price point is average for this particular unit considering prices have been dropping for years with flash based memory storage units. Overall Review: A 3 year warranty is included with the products which isn't bad but I've personally seen top tier portable SSD's with warranties of 5 years. Best to take a look at professional reviews online for a more accurate representation of performance. Advertising by tech companies prevents accurate real world numbers. Real world speeds are much lower than advertised and that is to be expected. Just ignore the program and add files if that's the case. The SSD remained quite warm during the file transfer but still cool enough not to warrant any concern.Ĭons: Crucial Storage Executive can be daunting for those who are not tech savvy looking to utilize a portable SSD. The USB 3.1 Gen 2 system that this particular device uses supports up to 10 GB/s and often times is not the case of the bottleneck solely from the device. In real world conditions you will be lucky to get even half of the advertised speed due hardware and software constraints exhibited by both the device and the pc. Overall write speed peaked at 427 MB/s fluctuating as low as a few KB/s. I did a file transfer test with a 4K video to validate the write speeds and they were as expected. Installation was simple and the computer recognized it immediately.
The cable is 8 inches long which gives you plenty of room when connecting to a laptop or desktop Comes with a USB-C cable in the box which is starting to become standard now considering most portable SSDs back then utilized the older micro USB 3.0 standard. The anodized aluminum and plastic rubber sides gives it that quality feel.
What I like about it immediately is that it has substantial weight to it. Pros: First off, at initial glance the SSD looks big but it quite small and portable, small enough to fit in your pocket.
