Review: Plextor EX1 Portable USB 3.1 Gen 2 SSD

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/26/2017 11:11 AM | source: | 12 comment(s)

We review the lightweight yet stupendously fast Plextor EX1 Portable USB SSD. It a very fast portable storage unit based on a USB 3.1 Gen 2 connection offering it a full 10 Gbps connection. Basically this product has the DNA of an SSD and can reach over 500 MB/sec on both reads and writes - making this an seriously fast storage unit that is easy to carry around.

Read the review here.

Compared to a HDD yes for acces time alone. But I see what you are getting at :) Remember, this unit still does amazing read performance. Even on USB.


I think he was getting out how you said a faster SSD INCREASES start times, so he was asking if a slower one would have the opposite effect of reducing them, since you don't actually want higher start times.

Basically he did a bad job of trying to say you made a mistake lol

Ah, touche .... weeeelll I mean increase in the sense of it being relative to performance, as in an increase in performance. But yes, let me change that writing a bit.

Probably going to look a lot like those M.2 kits I'd guess, then again that's pretty much all SSD's really, circuitry with memory modules on them and then some stuff for other bits and pieces. (I'm no expert on how they're built but I guess it's fairly similar other than how they're plugged in, something for the cache, something for the firmware and then something for whatever interface it's using.)

EDIT: Sounds far simpler than HDD's really although manufacturing is probably still a bit complicated and well everything seems to want those memory modules driving prices up while devising techniques for lowering costs and increasing storage. (SLC, MLC, TLC and now QLC or how it was called, drawback being overall "life" of the SSD unit though it's probably still fairly good even if the numbers are drastically lowered on paper.)
