4 Comments on Corsair Launches EX100U Portable USB Type-C SSD
Still, Gen 2 ports are much more common, so Gen 2x2 SSD comparison with fast, consistent (and usually much cheaper) Gen 2 (10 Gbps) models - like Sandisk Extreme v2 - would be nice, too. Just to see how big the difference is in real tasks.
Maybe TPU could adapt some real-life tests from internal SSD reviews to "portable storage" reviews? Some would definitely be applicable, e.g.: ISO file copy, Steam unpacking, text search, AV.
Any review / comparison you (TPU) do, please state (or test various) device configuration: out-of-the-box, with HW caching turned on etc.
