An average 612MB/s read speed moving multiple image files is also superb, though write speeds take a significant performance hit, with an average 481MB/s when writing video and just 278MB/s when writing multiple images. Real world file transfers will always be slower than a synthetic benchmark test, but we still recorded a hugely impressive 995MB/s peak read speed when shifting one massive video file, though this figure did drop as the transfer progressed, leaving the final averaged video read speed at a more modest - though still very rapid - 645MB/s.

Thankfully, with NVMe SSD technology and a Thunderbolt 3 connection promising a theoretical 40Gbps bandwidth (that's 4x faster than USB 3.1 Gen 2), the Envoy Pro EX has all the right ingredients for winning performance.ĬrystalDiskMark gets things off to a good start with stunning peak sequential read/write speeds of 1440/726MB/s respectively, though this is some way short of OWC's claim of "up to 2800MB/s". So it'd better have plenty of performance to compensate.

At 14.5 x 7.4 x 2.3cm and 300g with the bumper in place, this drive is positively gargantuan next to rival Sandisk or WD portable SSDs, and it even outsizes the power brick for our high-end testing laptop. However, all this ruggedness does have a downside: bulk. With its removable rubberized bumper and bombproof build quality, it's no surprise that the rock-solid Envoy Pro EX boasts military-grade MIL-STD810G drop protection. Write speeds disappointingly average -Huge and heavy A USB-C to USB-A adapter is included in the box. These are marginally faster results than the SanDisk's superb Extreme Pro Portable SSD, apart from the image write speed where the My Passport SSD was nearly 30% slower.Ĭapacity options include 500GB, 1TB and 2TB, with connectivity being via USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2.
We achieved an average 651MB/s and 569MB/s read/write speed with video files, and 538/364MB/s with multiple image files. Switching to real-world testing inevitably brings a performance hit, but the new My Passport SSD still performs well.
And refreshingly we found WD's claims to be bang-on, as CrystalDiskMark measured 1041MB/s and 1002MB/s read/write rates - very impressive. We weren't all that impressed with the speeds we got from the old My Passport SSD, but this new one is built around NVMe SSD technology and promises to be nearly twice as fast, with advertised max read/write speeds of 1050MB/s and 1000MB/s respectively. The new version has a smoother, more rounded design, but while it looks different, it still goes by the exact same My Passport SSD name, just for that little extra confusion. This is WD's latest version of its popular MyPassport SSD, not to be confused with the previous incarnation which is still on sale. Video write speed not class-leading -Bland looks

It should also be noted that a portable SSD will rarely - if ever - perform as fast in actual file transfers as in a software benchmark. Still, that’s hugely fast, and image transfer speeds of 693/496MB/s read/write are equally incredible. Despite testing with a blazing fast laptop, we could ‘only’ manage a peak 780MB/s when reading a large video file (a best-case scenario) and 564MB/s when writing it to the drive.
We were able to verify this claim with the CrystalDiskMark storage benchmark app, though achieving such speed in real-world file transfers is unlikely. SanDisk quotes a peak read speed of 1050MB/s for the Extreme Portable SSD. That's because almost no computer currently available can fully exploit the extra speed offered by the Extreme Pro, so in real-world use it's barely faster than this SSD. This is not SanDisk's top-of-the-range portable SSD - that honour currently goes to the Extreme Pro Portable SSD V2 (see further down this list), but this cheaper non-Pro version is still the one to go for. Max speed requires very fast computer -2TB capacity very expensive
