Overall score and performance in macOS
External SSDs are slowly but surely displacing classic USB memory sticks or external 2.5″ HDDs. They offer high speed, large storage and at the same time compact dimensions. I’ve been using Samsung’s T5 for some time now, and in the spring we also looked at SanDisk’s Portable SSD. Patriot, which collects plus points for great performance and reasonable prices in our reviews, is also coming to the market now with their PXD model. We will see if this is the case as well.
Overall score and performance in macOS
The overall score shows Patriot’s clear victory over both SanDisk and Samsung. We are also adding a new test for maximum sequential write on macOS in the Blackmagic Design Disk Speed Test application on MacBook Pro 16″. Here we see speeds at the level of 900 MB/s again, which confirms the results from Windows.
