Review on ORICO Mini 250GB Portable External SSD: Superfast Read/Write Speeds up to 1000MB/s with USB-C Port – Ideal for MacBook and More! by Alan Miller

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good but runs hotter and slower than advertised

This SSD gets really hot. I tested it with H2testw and it has the rated capacity. My old laptop might limit transfer speeds, but another 2T USB SSD, also rated at 1Gb/s, runs H2testw at 580MB/s on both write and read/test, this one runs natively only at 280 MB/ss and writing slows down to 110 MB/s during padding and warming up (read/verify stays steady at 280 MB/s). That's acceptable to me, but not very good. If the heat doesn't cause premature failure, this was a good buy.

Pros
  • External SSDs
Cons
  • Almost never
