Samsung X5 Portable SSD review





We review the Samsung X5 Portable SSD (1000GB). This, by far, is the fastest portable storage to date as it is NVMe and Thunderbolt based, combined with the DNA of NMVe it can reach 2800 MB/sec. The unit makes use of the latest Vertically stacked NAND.

Very nice drive. I must say it's a big leap from where we came from 2 years ago in terms of external storage.

The only logical explanation i can think of is not having many PCIe lanes on-chip, or perhaps the AHCI/SATA controller being much cheaper to implement.
both thoughts really boil down to cost though, i know cheaper platforms will almost certainly not have very many PCIe lanes to throw at NVMe drives.
How or why are we still on SATA when ports which many newer machines have a few of now are running at far greater speeds
