- How fast is the MemoStone Extreme Portable SSD?
- It is rated up to 1,900 MB/s sequential read over USB 3.2 Gen 2. Real-world speed depends on your host port and the file types; large sequential files move fastest.
- Will it work with my laptop or phone?
- It uses USB-C, so it works with USB-C laptops, desktops and most recent phones and tablets. On older USB-A ports you need a USB-C to USB-A cable or adapter, and speed drops to what that port supports.
- Does it need a power adapter?
- No. It draws power over the USB connection, so a single cable is enough.
- Is it good for gaming consoles?
- It can store and run games from an external USB drive on consoles that support USB storage. Check your console's requirements, since some need specific USB versions or minimum speeds.
- Is it rugged or waterproof?
- The listed specs do not include an IP dust or water resistance rating or a drop rating. Treat it as a normal portable drive and keep it dry and padded.
- What is in the box?
- Typically the drive and a USB-C cable. Confirm the included cable supports 20Gbps, since a slower cable will cap the speed.
- Where is the MemoStone 1TB 20Gbps Extreme Portable SSD cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $139.99, as of our latest check.
