We are finally seeing external drives take advantage of USB 3.1 gen2 Type-C interface 🙂 Here’s how a brand new WD My Passport SSD compares vs the highly praised Samsung T3 and PNY external SSD.

At first I was like, “Nooo! I just bought a T3!”
And then I was like, “Oh. … Whatever.”
Have you ever tried to connect them to some mobile phone via otg… ? Is there any problem with recognition, etc… ?
Do you have UASP Enable
Just wondering if there is any difference between external ssd drives and pen drives.
Are you a Bangladeshi ?
How come this arab learn to speak proper english?
is there a Gen 2 in Usb Flash drive ?
3:43 – 4:31 those difference are unnoticeable in real working day to day life.
Cool external but that Cosmos 2 case stole the show.
I would rather have the Samsung T3, even if only because it is better looking and made with metal and rubber. The WD is partly made from plastic and looks cheap.
Hey guys, I’m going to college in like 2 weeks should I pick one of those up to back up all my data since I’m going in the field of computer science?
You know what? Props to you guys, the cosmos sponsor vid, it was hilarious. Now, this is how you get people to buy shit!
I have a solution for those who want the fastest ssd speeds possible. A Mac or PC with USB-C + a Startech M.2 enclosure with USB-C port allowing 10gbps and a 1TB Samsung 960 Pro or Samsung 960 EVO M.2 2280 drive. The speed is limited to 1250MB/s because of USB-C but hopefully manufacturers will produce a Thunderbolt 3 M.2 enclosure soon with 40gbps speeds. Wow, this is blowing my mind.
USB 3.1 connection but only USB 3.0 performance. Marketing BS.
As for the drive itself. It looks fine, but I avoid any WD products as I have terrible history with them. I mean the worst.
god damn that case. retro but still 2017. need to see a review
It looks like it will break into two pieces anytime, although it probably won’t. Bad design in terms of looks. It should look strong too.
One day humans are absolute because of robots I’m just saying something random
you can use ramdisk for testing to lessen the internal drive read and write for testing your usb ssd
In my country the 512 GB version of this costs about 250 USD and the 1 TB costs 485 USD.. That is just fucking insane!!!
good video
i don’t get why you said “you really can’t compare them because this one is 4x the price of the other one”
that right there is a comparison, you can totaly compare them because unlike the HDD, the SDD is shock resistant, over 10x faster, and a lot smaller. I think thats worth the price difference
poor writing m8’s.
I’ve had T3 and didn’t like how the software works been going back-and-forth between PC and Mac.
What about TRIM? Is it built in?
And this stuff is cheaper than both pny and samsung. I am so regretted to purchase a pny portable ssd.Gosh
