- The carrier Patriot 2 to SSD external portable sells less than $ 90 on Amazon
- He has reading / writing speeds up to 1 GB / s, twice that of internal SATA ssd at comparable prices
- It is even more expensive than the portable hard drives of 2 TB, but the price difference is at its lowest of all time
The Patriot external Patriot SSD of 2.5 inch USB-C 2 TO has drawn attention to its competitive prices as well as reading and writing speeds up to 1 GB / s.
At $ 87.99 on Amazon US at the moment, the carrier is even more expensive than a portable hard disk of 2 to medium, but the price difference has been considerably reduced.
In comparison with more expensive internal SATA ssds, the SSD carrier has much higher reading and writing speeds than popular options like the Crucial MX500 2TB (560 MB / s Reading, 510 MB / S writing), Samsung 870 EVO 2TB (560 Mb / s Reading, 530 MB / s in writing), and Western Digital Blue 3D NAND 2TB (545 MB / S Reading, 425 MB / S Writing).
A portable SSD alternative for the budget
The transporter also offers faster reading and writing speeds compared to traditional hard drives of 2 TB such as WD my my passport, Seagate Backup Plus and Toshiba Canvio Basics, which cost between $ 60 and $ 70 and offer speeds significantly slower.
The higher speed offered by SSDs can appeal to users with demanding workloads, but the fact remains HDD remains a more affordable option for general mass storage needs.
The SSDs are intrinsically much more robust also thanks to the use of semiconductor memory. They can withstand falls and get fucked without suffering from a catastrophic failure. You cannot do it with an external hard drive.
In addition, a USB-C portable SSD can generally be connected to a smartphone or tablet equipped with the same port and act as an external storage device, something that no portable hard drive can reach.
