Like all things, tech speed and capacity will improve over time, but for now, these little drives deliver excellent speeds for editing video and fast file transfers. We are topping out with throughput on computers, and the room for more speed has to come from the media. The drive is USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, capable of 10 Gbps (10 Gbps = 1250 MB/s), so the connection is faster than the SSD can deliver, which is very common. The speed is very good at 449.3 Write and 526.8 Read. I used the Blackmagic Design Disk Speed Test app and set stress to 4 GB to test the speed. SpeedĪngelbird states the speed for the SSD2GO PKT MK2 as follows. I say perhaps because I have had luck with cables with a smaller end, but that defeats the design of a secure, tight fit. I like it, but you have to be careful not to lose the cable as the size of the connector is not standard, and other generic USB-C cables probably won’t fit inside the slot. This feature is also found on the Angelbird card readers. The Solid Connect Interface adds some security to the drive as the cable inserts inside the SSD2GO. The drive and connectivity are fully compatible with the latest standard USB 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gb/s inputs. The SSD2GO PKT uses a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connector and comes with a USB-A adapter, just in case. But is it Erik proof? Solid Connect Interface Angelbird states it is also high-temperature, electrical shock, x-ray, and magnetic field proof. It is sealed and has a durable aluminum enclosure that looks good too. I like the build quality and look of these drives a lot. The Angelbird SSD2GO PKT 1TB is much smaller than the previous models.
As for reliability, they have been rock solid and fast. Samsung is very popular, and the Angelbird models are too. Angelbird SSD2GO PKT Compact and colorful
ANGELBIRD SSD FOR MAC REVIEW PLUS
Yes, nothing is perfect as you can have an SSD drive fail, but they are much more reliable than the old spinner, plus they use much less power, so your laptop will last longer on battery power. An SSD option will give you much faster read and write speeds without the worry of mechanical failure.
ANGELBIRD SSD FOR MAC REVIEW PORTABLE
These days a 2.5″ spinning portable drive seems like an old idea, and I have to agree as they are slow and prone to failure. Generally, the faster verities are for video editing, and the slower ones are just to get files to and from various systems. If you edit pictures and video, then chances are you will be using an external hard drive for all that media. Even with laptops having very large internal hard drives, you generally have to have media or files that you transfer from the primary system. Portable drives are a necessity if you work on the go.
