![]() ![]() The introduction in late 2019 of motherboards based on the AMD TRX40 chipset, followed by vendors such as Orico releasing PCI Express expansion cards that include USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 ports, showed a blip of interest-mainly among high-end desktop makers-in this standard. Peripherals that support the 20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 standard, which was announced in 2017, have been very slow to emerge, due to a lack of compatible computers and the limited adoption of the 2x2 port. That means potential maximum throughput of 20Gbps (2,500MBps), instead of the 10Gbps (1,250MBps) ceiling of most USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-C ports and devices, or the 5Gbps of ordinary USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. A USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port carries two lanes of data, versus the one lane of USB 3.2 Gen 2. Included are two cables, one USB-C to USB-C, the other USB-C to USB-A. Next to the port is a status light, which glows blue when the drive is attached to a computer, and blinks blue while transfers are in progress. Though you won't get Gen 2x2 speeds when the drive is paired with one of these consoles, it's a convenient solution.Īt one end of the drive, set slightly off-center, is a USB-C port. You can keep a game library on the SE900G-with the 2TB version, you might be able to store up to a couple dozen AAA games-and boot and load a game to play it on your console. The drive is compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, PlayStation 5, and XBox (the Series X or S). But you will only get these sort of speeds if you have a computer that supports this very specific, and uncommon, USB flavor, or-more likely-are willing to invest in a motherboard or expansion card, if not a whole new rig, that does. Thanks to its support for the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 standard, the SE900G has the distinction of being among the fastest single-drive external SSDs we have tested-as measured by the Crystal DiskMark benchmark utility-narrowly besting the three other Gen 2x2 drives we have reviewed in both sequential read and write speeds. The drive is capable of blistering speeds, provided you have the proper hardware to connect it to. The ADATA SE900G External SSD (starts at $99.99 for 500GB $289 for the 2TB version we tested) will help brighten up any gamer's setup with a gorgeous RGB lighting display. ![]() How to Set Up Two-Factor Authentication.How to Record the Screen on Your Windows PC or Mac.How to Convert YouTube Videos to MP3 Files.How to Save Money on Your Cell Phone Bill.How to Free Up Space on Your iPhone or iPad.How to Block Robotexts and Spam Messages.
