BLACKMAGIC DISK SPEED TEST SSD READ ONLY PORTABLE

The drive can reach these speeds by taking advantage of the USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 standard. The drive is not entirely waterproof, but it can withstand jets of water. Actual transfer speeds will be a few 100 MBps off, which still amounts to impressive read and write speeds. The marketed speed was backed up by AnandTech, using CrytalDiskMark and ATTO, so it checks out. I was shown a CrystalDiskMark screenshot, a storage benchmarking software, that was done internally, and it was slightly above 2,000 MBps. As with most on-the-box claims, that number is reached through internal testing that uses the most advantageous hardware and scenarios to achieve the best possible read and write speeds. How fast, exactly? According to Western Digital, which owns the SanDisk brand, the drive is capable of up to 2,000 MBps read and write speeds. The mouthful of a name aside, the drive, released last year, is incredibly fast.

One of the best external SSDs you can buy right now is SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD V2. In fact, external NVMe SSDs are faster than ever. Meanwhile external SSDs haven’t come that far, due to their reliance on USB rather than PCIe, but they’re by no means slow. Those numbers are insane, and with prototype PCIe 5.0 drives capable of twice those speeds, it seems like the sky’s the limit.

In recent years, internal M.2 NVMe SSDs have reinvented what “fast” storage is, and we now have drives capable of write speeds up to 6,000 MBps and read speeds of up to 7,000 MBps. The SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD V2 is one of the fastest external SSDs available, but has limited compatibility at the moment.
