[PConline evaluation] The rapid development of science and technology, in the field of mobile storage, also gradually changes, the previous U disk is small, but the capacity is small, while the mobile hard disk capacity is large, but the volume is also large, and sometimes speed Even if it is not comparable to a USB flash drive, can it be a middle point between the two? The answer is yes, it is to make it into a mobile SSD, small size, capacity can not be ignored, the speed is more leverage, and today we are evaluating is such a compact and reliable product - Pu Kot EX1 128G mobile SSD.
Plextor EX1 128G Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Quotation Parameters Overview
Appreciation:
The outer box adopts a perspective window design. The white background is matched with a gray font. It is simple and intuitive. The hollow part can clearly see the front of the product. The Plextor EX1 mobile SSD has 128GB, 256GB and 512GB. The capacity is for users to choose, and there are two colors of silver and gold for the user to choose.
The upper and lower layers are used in the packaging, and the body of the mobile SSD is placed on it. The following are the accessories for the instructions.
The accessories are a USB 3.1 data cable, a manual and a storage bag.
EX1's appearance is simple, without too many tedious patterns embellishment, the surface is matte metal material, delicate touch.
Formed on the back and front, beautiful and durable, the lower part of the back is engraved with the name and information of the product.
For a mobile SSD, Plextor's EX1 can be said to be very compact, whether it is 128GB capacity, or the highest 512GB capacity, the volume is the same, the weight is only about 30g, very light.
In terms of size, compared to an iPhone 6s Plus, only about one-third of it is highly portable.
The entire hard disk has only one Type C interface and supports the latest USB 3.1 Gen 2 standard, providing the possibility to achieve higher read and write speeds.
When the mobile SSD is plugged into the cable and read by the computer, the blue hard disk indicator will light up. When there is a read/write operation, the blue light will flash quickly, indicating that it is reading or writing. The light only covers the entire connector, not a small LED indicator, indicating more clarity.
Security software experience:
In addition to its small size and light weight, EX1's other important selling point is the encryption software called Fnet that comes with the hard disk. The software effectively protects the privacy of personal data on the hard disk.
When you start to install the encryption software, the software will automatically identify whether your computer is plugged into the EX1 hard disk. If you do not insert it, you cannot perform the next operation.
After you start installing the software, you need to format the hard disk and install it automatically.
About ten seconds, the installation can be completed.
After the installation is complete, the original SSD partition has become an AP disk. After clicking on the exe file, an installation wizard is required. During this process, the user needs to enter the product serial number given with the hard disk accessory.
After you enter the correct serial number, you can repartition the hard disk. By default, these partitions are all encrypted.
Then set the encoding and password according to your needs. The encryption and encoding method has four options: none, AES128, AES192, and AES256. In terms of security, 256 is the most secure, because currently there is no effective algebraic attack method other than brute force.
After that, it began to partition the hard disk.
Then the installation is complete.
If you need to uninstall the encryption software, just re-run the exe file.
After all the installations are completed, only the AP disk will be displayed after the disk is normally inserted. When you execute the exe program and enter the correct password, the hidden partition will appear. In terms of security, it is still relatively safe.
Performance Testing:
As a mobile SSD, the increase in speed must not be overlooked. Therefore, the PConline evaluation room below will use several test software to see if the performance of the Plextor EX1 128G SSD is satisfactory.
testing platform:
1TB SSD (system disk) / Plextor EX1 128G mobile SSD (with USB3.1 interface)
System Windows 10 Professional driver default driverAS SSD benchmark test
Test Summary: In this test, the Plextor EX1 performed at a score of 329 points. There is still a gap between this score and the 4K speed on the SATA interface. However, as a mobile SSD, the most important thing is to look at the continuous reading and writing speed. , And in this performance, the hard disk is very satisfying, reaching 509MB/s and 458.83MB/s respectively, this level has far surpassed the level of ordinary U disk and mechanical mobile hard disk.
ATTO Disk Benchmark Performance Test
Test Summary: In the ATTO Disk Benchmark test, the reading and writing speeds are basically the same as the previous tests, and the performance is very good.
CrystalDiskMark test:
Test summary: In the CrystalDiskMark test, although the speed of the previous two software performance is excellent, but from the data point of view, the reading is still exceeded 400MB/s, the write is still exceeded 300MB/s, in terms of performance, Still a high level of mobile SSD.
TxBench test
Test summary: The performance on the TxBench has returned to the previously mentioned level. This read/write speed is in the upper-middle level in the mobile SSD field, and there is no serious speed drop.
Anvil`s Storage Utilities Test
Test summary: In the Anvil's Storage Utilities test, the score was 2106 points. This score is a decent performance for a mobile SSD. Daily use and data storage is enough.
FastCopy test
Test summary: The last test is a continuous read/write test. As you can see from the figure above, it takes 20.9 seconds to copy a 4GB file. This speed is much faster than ordinary U disk.
[PConline evaluation room summary]
