With up to 1,600 MB/sec sequential read and 1,500 MB/sec sequential write speeds, you can move stunning 4K videos in seconds, do intensive video and photo editing, or play the latest large install-file games. Thanks to an impressively slim profile and a footprint smaller than a credit card, the EX100U can easily be brought to any PC, Mac, or console that you wish.



Included in the box are both USB Type-C to Type-C and Type-C to Type-A cables, ensuring wide compatibility with nearly any modern device, with simple plug-and-play setup so you can get working immediately. A convenient protective cap for the SSD's USB Type-C connector keeps it safe from harm while on the go, and a three-year limited warranty offers even more peace of mind that your data is saved securely.

Grab the CORSAIR EX100U and keep high-speed, high-capacity storage in your pocket.

Would like to see a review or at most a round up of recently released 2x2 SSDs.

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.

If the data rates are confimed in testing, the 4TB would be an excellent photo storage device if prices are rational. Can't find price though, none of the affiliate links had the product.
