    these would be good to use in laptop with limited power budget

    It would be nice to see an NVMe SSD that has even more power efficiency than a P31, for sure.

    What I find amazing is how fast and power efficient this thing is for having a USB-C connector. Getting that performance out of that many conductors is just amazing.

    IMHO (re)using (old) m2 nvme/sata ssd's in a external case (usb-bridge) is in almost all cases the cheaper/more flexible solution. sure it's a tiny bit bigger, more-expensive & less power-efficient... but for single external drive these are almost always negelgible.

    IDK about that.
    This XS2000 only has 500GB, 1TB and 2TB models, and I would think most people will be upgrading TO that size, rather than upgrading FROM that size.
    When you add in the cost of an USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 external case, things end up not being cheap.

    I am looking at the prices from my local retailer, and the price for the 500GB and 1TB model XS2000 is, in fact, better than buying separately.
    For the 2TB model, buying separately is cheaper.
    For the 500GB and 1TB model, it's only cheaper if I opt for an NVMe enclosure that is not capable of USB3.2 Gen 2x2

    I imagine we'll start seeing the return of some decent ultra highs speed USB sticks with these controllers now available

    "The lack of any thermal solution (note that we are evaluating a bare PCB here) means that we can't make any comments on the recorded temperature." It's worrying that they sent you a bare PCB, instead of the product that costumers will buy, when they know y'all are likely to do the most throughout analysis of the device.

    I'd imagine that it's hard to fuck up with such an elegant and simple design, but you never know - Kingston is the one who managed to innovate in the creation of LED-fried NAND.

    Do laptops outside of TigerLake even have USB 3.2 2x2 support? Let alone desktops.
  • timecop1818 - Friday, September 17, 2021 - link

    I don't think even tiger lake has native USB 2x2 without adding a bridge chip
  • DigitalFreak - Friday, September 17, 2021 - link

    I was thinking Thunderbolt 4 / USB 4 is backwards compatible with 2x2.

    Ugh, I don't ever want to read "Gen NxN" again.

    AMD Rembrandt should support dual USB 4. Which I guess means up to two 40 Gbps ports. Anything before that, no.
  • Spunjji - Monday, September 20, 2021 - link

    AFAIK, only 10Gbps is guaranteed without the bridge.
  • nvmnghia - Saturday, September 18, 2021 - link

    So is there a controller that offers:

    - Thunderbolt if supported
    - Flash to USB for all cases else (max USB speed of the host)

    Isn’t a write speed of only 100 MB/s after SLC cache pretty much evidence of QLC flash?
    I have never seen a TLC SSD with such a low write speed after the SLC cache, but pretty much every QLC SSD has it.

    Experience from Hong Kong has demonstrated the advantages of the framework. Notwithstanding, the framework can be <a href="https://gyanmatrix.com/build-operate-transfer-mode... ">Build Operate Transfer Model</a> extremely hazardous conceivably. The three transportation projects in Thailand, including the Second Expressway System, Don Muang Tollway and the Bangkok Elevated Transport System, have given financial backers an excruciating encounter. Breaking down these effective and bombing models, this investigation has closed the elements of a fruitful BOT project.
