ADATA Technology, a leading manufacturer of high-performance DRAM modules, NAND Flash products, and mobile accessories today announces the launch of the ADATA SC680 external solid state drive (SSD). The SSDs features a stylish and compact form factor for easy portability and implements the USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface for excellent read and write performance.

Lightweight (35 g), and only 10 mm thick, the SC680 is very portable, slipping into pockets and bags with ease. Utilizing the USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface it's also fast too, sporting read/write speeds of up to 530/460 MB/s, making it over 6.6 times faster than external hard drives. This performance not only benefits users when transferring stored data, but also when loading game titles. What is more, it is shockproof, operates quietly, and consumes less power than many other external SSDs.



Easy Compatibility, Easy-to-Use
The SC680 uses a USB-C (Type C) connector, which is reversible, so there is no right or wrong orientation when plugging in. It also plugs and plays with Windows, Mac OS, and Android, meaning users can move content between devices without limitations. Whether for work or enjoyment, the SC680 empowers users with simple connectivity and the convenience of USB-C.

Exact availability of the ADATA SC680 may vary by region.

I am not blaming you BTA...

But still... If ADATA asks for PR, they could have given at least storage size options... looks funny.

What's the point of having a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) interface only to use a SATAIII hard drive? This external drive literally only gets about 50MB/sec more than the USB 3.0 enclosure I have with a Samsung 860 Evo in it.
