Traditionally, external hard drives were very practical as portable storage media, but of course, their performance was, in general, far below that provided by internal drives. With the proliferation of external SSDs, devices like this CORSAIR EX100U they show us that this past has been completely left behindand when it comes to media access time and transfer speed, they are already in a position to compete without any shame in the first division.
And it is that CORSAIR, aware that the storage needs of gamers not only go through size, but also performance, has just presented the CORSAIR EX100U, a new ultra-slim external storage drive (79 x 37 x 11 millimeters) and light, but with a resistant design that makes it a perfect support to take anywhere and, therefore, have our files in any place and circumstance. And to improve even more in this sense, it also has a practical protective cover for the USB type C connector of the SSD, which is responsible for keeping this port protected and, for example, preventing foreign bodies from getting into it if, for example, we carry it in a backpack or handbag.
When it comes to capacity, the CORSAIR EX100U is available in 1, 2 and 4 terabyte configurationsand in all cases its connectivity is USB C Gen2 x2, providing bandwidth that can scale up to 20Gbps, with sequential read speeds of up to 1,600 MB/s and sequential write speeds of 1,500 MB/s. With these features, as you may have already deduced, this external drive will not only allow you to copy large files quickly, but also use them in real time, either to edit video in 4K resolution or to run next-generation games with high capacity and performance requirements of storage media.
Although to get the most out of the performance of this CORSAIR EX100U, a connection is necessary USB 3.2 2×2, which is the one that will allow it to reach its nominal performance limit, to maximize compatibility, USB Type-C to Type-C and Type-C to Type-A cables are included in the box, so you can connect it to any system with a USB port, be it Type A or C, and of whatever generation. In this way, we will not have to worry about carrying additional adapters, nor will we see its connectivity limited.
The CORSAIR EX100U is available from the CORSAIR website in capacities of one terabyte per €139.99two terabytes per €249.99and four terabytes per €619.99.
