Write at the beginning:
As a travel self-media blogger, you need to often go out to take photos and videos. At the same time, you need to go back to the hotel on the same day, and retouch the shooting materials or edit the video at the first time. Rush to send information to travel OTA websites or social media such as Weibo and WeChat in the first time. At present, many notebooks in the pursuit of thin and light, strengthen the power of the CPU and graphics card, but ignore the lack of computer storage space troubles. You see my Dell 16Plus laptop, the screen can give you 3K resolution, but the hard disk is only 512GB. If you just go online, do spreadsheets, and occasionally repair pictures, 512GB of storage space is basically enough, but once you involve video content, you will find that your hard disk space is in an instant emergency. 512GB of space requires the installation of system files and some commonly used large software, and the remaining space is certainly less than 450GB. We often shoot for 2-3 days at a time, and the amount of data can reach more than 400-500GB, so the hard disk space is directly insufficient. In addition, when the editing software is running on the computer, it will also consume a lot of system resources, and the hard disk does not have a part of the space allocated to it, which will directly lead to its strike, so what way can expand the storage space of the computer, and do not need to disassemble the machine to affect the warranty?
Recently, with these questions in mind, I got into the XD10 mobile SSD. The brand is not particularly familiar to many friends, it is renamed from Toshiba memory, and it is currently the second largest brand in the world in flash memory manufacturing. One of the factors that chose it is to consider the original storage particles with the overall design of the original factory, I believe that it should be compared with the combination of ordinary SSD + external hard disk, in terms of compatibility and transmission speed have certain advantages. It is also the first mobile SSD launched by Jiaoxia with a new brand and new image. Today I will share with you some of the experiences of using this mobile SSD recently.
Design:
The packaging of the XD10 mobile SSD is relatively simple, blue and white design, in line with the conventional thinking of IT supplies. The appearance of the product is very tough, the front is the white printed brand LOGO of "KIOXIA", the back is some certification marks, and there are six screws to secure the hard disk housing. The metal aluminum alloy material further enhances the quality of the hard disk and also achieves good heat dissipation.
The overall hard disk workmanship is also very good, the details of the corners are very in place, and the upper and lower layers of metal shells are tightly sewn. Although the hard drive has a right-angled bezels, it is also comfortable to hold in the hand. There is also a small indicator next to the USB-C interface. A little inconspicuous, I think if you turn the "KIOXIA" LOGO into a light, it is also a good choice, haha!
The XD10 mobile SSD is very thin and small, slightly raised in the middle, looking like a small biscuit that has swelled up a little, and is about as thick as a mobile phone, a circle smaller than my Apple mouse.
The hard drive body is a USB 3.2Gen2 interface. The manufacturer claims that the transmission speed can reach 1000MB/s
Weighing weight on an electronic scale, without a data cable, is about 77 grams, and it is convenient to put it in my pocket or the accessory pocket of my photography bag.
The XD10 is also very equipped with 2 data cables, USB Type A and USB Type C data cables, which can meet the different ports of the computer.
Performance testing:
As the first mobile SSD of Armored Man, what is the actual performance of the XD10?
First plug in the computer, seconds to monitor the hard disk, XD10 1TB version of the actual capacity size of 970.36GB.
Regarding the read and write speed of the hard disk, I tested it through the Disk speed test software, in order to reflect the speed comparison of various storage devices, I deliberately found a U disk of Weigang, a SATA interface solid-state drive of the friendly business, and an solid state drive of the M.2 protocol of the friendly business to measure the speed together.
Measured Weigang's U disk read speed of 115.3MB/s, write speed of 11.1MB/s,
The SATA interface SSD of the measured friendly business reads 420.1MB/s and the write speed is 386MB/s, which is indeed greatly improved than the U disk.
The SSD read speed of the M.2 protocol of Youshang is 820.1MB/s, and the write speed is 882.6MB/s, and the speed is also quite improved! Finally, the protagonist of our test appears:
The read speed of the XD10 mobile SSD is as high as 954.9MB/s, and the write speed is as high as 908.8MB/s.
Similarly, we tested large-volume video footage, a 14.6GB video folder, copied from a mobile SSD into a computer in 32 seconds and hovering around 500MB/s.
The data test ended here, I still put the video folder into this mobile SSD after connecting the laptop, in the PR software directly open the engineering file, automatically link the original video footage, directly can browse the picture without Caton, and directly in the hard disk to edit the video, this experience is very good, this is my travel blogger most need the most use of the scene. Laptop hard disk space is limited, then directly in the hard disk editing, is the most perfect working state.
Summary: The first one is brilliant
Through the above tests, the XD10 mobile SSD is satisfactory enough in terms of software testing and actual experience to fully meet the needs of self-media creators, photography enthusiasts, video editors and daily office people. In addition, the use of original flash memory particles of the XD10 is also a major advantage, which can bring more stable and reliable performance. Finally, I would like to give a small suggestion to the manufacturer, the hard hard disk protective case can be sold with the hard disk, and the packaging can send consumers a soft bundle pocket made of flannel material, so as to win the recognition of the market and consumers!
