Review on 💾 KOOTION 250GB Portable External SSD: USB-C Solid State Drive for Gaming PC/Mac/Linux/Android with Lanyard Hole by Warren Hess

Initial review April 27, 2021 Only two things make one of these SSDs better than others: 1) read/write speeds 2) durability (which we gained) is not known until then it fails) The only thing worth checking is the speed, assuming it works differently. I use CrystalDiskMark to rate the speed of SD cards, HDDs and SSDs. So I ran CrystalDiskMark (CDM) on that drive. It was the very first thing I did. I noticed that there are no marketing specs on the box that state the speed of this SSD. The good news is that it's not bad. CDM shows a reading speed of 443 MB/s and a writing speed of 147 MB/s. I have much faster SSDs, but there are also much slower SSDs out there. I wouldn't be tempted to use this drive as some sort of primary storage, but it's fine for backups or copying to another computer. There is a blue LED on the case that indicates data transfer. I tried to remove the unwanted plastic border. piece, but it doesn't come off easily. I didn't want to break it for fear the whole disk would fall apart. The price is no different from other similar hard drives. I recommend this disc.
