A tiny, lightweight, portable SSD with high capacity and ultra-fast speeds… it does exist! This is what Corsair offers with its EX100U, a super efficient little external SSD.
Corsair’s EX100U is undoubtedly one of the best portable SSDs around. It not only offers a compact design that makes it easy to transport, but also excellent write and read speeds. In short, everything you expect from a portable SSD; it just lacks a USB-A adapter for added versatility.
Strong points
- Ultra light and compact.
- Excellent flow rates.
- Aluminum case.
Weak points
- No USB-A adapter.
- Difficult to exceed 1000 MB/s in practice.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
Corsair’s 1TB EX100U is identical in all respects to the 2TB model we tested. It is without a doubt one of the best portable SSDs around. It not only offers a very compact design that makes it easy to transport, but also excellent write and read speeds. In short, everything you expect from a portable SSD. It just lacks a USB-A adapter for added versatility.
