Review on KOOTION Portable External 120GB USB C by Joseph Brendemuehl

This is a new version of Kootion, with nice plastic and a strap that opens in all directions. The construction is well done, the metal seems strong enough not to bend or bend. Plastic covering all sides is a smart idea. Normally, these external SSDs get very hot when writing. You can hold the device by its sides and not feel the same intense heat. In terms of performance, I tested it with USB 3.0, not 3.1 (the latter is faster). This gave me a consistent sequential write speed of 100MB/s. No faster than a regular USB 3.0 stick (which is smaller). But as you can see from the attached images, this SSD shows its true colors compared to a USB drive - when used in random read/write. 4x to 10x faster when using an SSD. Of course, you can't connect a regular flash drive to a mobile device, but this SSD can be easily connected to any mobile device with a USB-C to USB-C cable (not included, but cheap and easy to get anywhere). be connected.
