Review: Good usb for djing - Great USB, worked especially well for Rekordbox and djing, much faster 4k random write speeds.
Review: Super speedy but check your USB port specification if you don't get the advertised speeds - I bought this USB-A drive to to be able to fully test USB 3.x cable bandwidth and needed to make sure that the drive was as fast as advertised. This is where it is important to know which ports on your PC are which and what the fastest ports are. I have a Gigabyte X570 motherboard with a variety of different USB ports, some on the rear I/O shield and some exposed on the front panel via internal USB3 headers and more with an aftermarket USB/card reader in a 5.25" drive bay but using USB3.2Gen1 header so limited to 5GB/s *ALL* of my front USB 3.0 ports are 3.2Gen1 meaning they max out at 5Gb/s or around 640MB/s - well short of the advertised max speed of this drive. In practice, even connected directly to the rear USB3.2Gen1 ports, the max bandwidth is less than the theoretical maximum and I got around 446MB/s sequential reads and 403MB/s sequential writes on the Gen1 ports. - see first screenshot. To fully get access to all the DataTraveller Max drive's speed potential you must use a USB3.2Gen2 or higher specified port. On my Gigabyte motherboard, these are coloured RED on the rear I/O shield and connected to that port, I got over 1020MB/s read and 879MB/s write speed. (see second screenshot) From early testing this is the fastest drive I have using USB and should allow me to test the cables I want to test. I agree with other reviewers that the slide mechanism is a bit faffy but disagree that a cap would have been preferable as I've seen caps get lost and the slide mechanism at least means it is permanently attached. For the price, this is definitely the fastest portable storage I own and I'm happy to recommend it.
