【Warm Tips】:

1.The NVMe SSD is not included.

2.The performance might be limited on TBT3 and normal usb port. To get the advertised performance, the host should support TBT4 or USB4 and it should support 40Gbps.

3.This test result for Max.3800MB/s reading and Max.3800MB/s writing is the best result tested by our own test environment, and the specific effect is determined by the computer configuration and your SSD.

4.If the SSD is brand-new and unformatted, please perform partition installation so that the computer can read the data normally. If the SSD is formatted and has stored data, you have no need to perform partition installation because the computer can read the data normally.
