Much of the industry is focused on Macs with great portability, but at the same time that they can perform as a high-powered Mac like the iMac or Mac Pro. The first thing we have seen are the external graphics or eGPU like BlackMagic and now we look at external hard drives that offer us capacity and high speed.
As an example of today we present the latest model from Samsung in solid state. They have baptized it as SSD X5. This ultra fast SSD uses Thunderbolt 3 connection and the first solid state drive based on NVMe technology.
According to information from Samsung, this disc can reach up to 2.800 Mb / s read, similar to the internal drives of the Mac recently introduced. Comparatively, is up to 5.2 times faster than SSD with SATA interface and 25 times faster than external hard drives. Further, the writing speed is also in line with the super speed of this solid memory, reaching up to 2.300Mb / s.
Logically, it is a product that can only be used by the business sector that requires moving a large amount of data. This in turn, is 256-bit AES hardware encryption and other available security settings. In the words of Mike Mang, Vice President of Brand Product Marketing, Electronics Section, Samsung Electronics.
As a leader in high-performance and reliable storage solutions, we are thrilled to continue to advance the external SSD market with the introduction of our first portable Thunderbolt 3 SSD.
The X5 is further testament to Samsung's commitment to providing innovative portable storage solutions, enabling faster transfer of large data files, thus saving users' valuable time.
