Review on πŸ”₯ TEKQ Rapide Portable External Thunderbolt 3 SSD | Intel Certified | 2150MB/s+ Read, 1900MB/s+ Write | WD SN550 500G, Grey by Matt Patnaik

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fast external NVMe SSD

The case looks great with its design, style and low blue light. The two cables that come with it are sturdy and the carrying case is handy. As expected, the drive heats up after a lot of reading or writing. It's fast: a 48GB folder copies a 48GB folder to a drive from the iMac Pro over Thunderbolt 3 in under 40 seconds and back in under 20 seconds. Using DiskSpeedTest v3.2, a standard 480GB hard drive has an average read speed of 2480MB and write speed of 1810MB. With the Sabrent Rocket 2TB installed, reads are 2460MB and writes are 2000MB.

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Infinitely slow
