Our take on the Adata SE880 Portable SSD

The Adata SE880 is a pocket-sized external SSD that uses USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 to reach sequential read and write speeds of up to 2000 MB/s. It is built on an NVMe drive with a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface and runs off USB bus power, so no separate adapter is needed. At about 1.1 oz and 0.5 inch thick, it slips into a pocket and works with PC, PS5 and Android over USB-C. Its main trade-off against rugged rivals is the plain plastic shell, which has no dust or water resistance and no DRAM cache.

Questions and answers

Is the Adata SE880 fast enough for gaming?
Yes. It reaches up to 2000 MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, which is fast enough to store and play PS5 games from it. On a slower USB port it will run at that port's speed.
Does it need a separate power supply?
No. It draws power from the USB bus at up to 900 mA, so one USB-C cable handles both data and power.
Is it water or dust resistant?
No. The SE880 has no rated resistance to water, dust or sand, so keep it dry and away from grit.
Will it reach 2000 MB/s on my laptop?
Only if your laptop has a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port. Many PCs and laptops top out at USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps), which halves the speed.
What devices does it work with?
It connects over USB-C to Windows PCs, PS5 consoles and Android devices. It also works with older USB ports through a compatible cable or adapter, at lower speed.
Does it have a DRAM cache?
No. The SE880 uses an NVMe drive without a DRAM cache, which can slow sustained writes of very large files compared with cached drives.

At SHI International, for $103.00, 47% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
