External hard drives have traditionally been very practical as portable storage media, but of course their performance has generally been much lower than internal drives. With the proliferation of external SSDs, devices like this CORSAIR EX100U they show us that this past has been completely forgottenand in terms of media access time and transmission speed, they are already in a position to unashamedly compete in the first division.

With these features, as you may have already guessed, this external drive will not only allow you to quickly copy large files, but also use them in real time, whether for editing 4K video or running next-generation games with high capacity. and storage media performance requirements.

Although a connection is required to get the most out of this CORSAIR EX100U’s performance USB 3.2 2×2, which is the one that will allow it to reach the nominal power limit, to maximize compatibility, USB Type-C to Type-C and Type-C to Type-A cables are included in the box, so you can connect it to any system with a USB port, either Type A or C, and any generation.
