A-Data SE760 ASE760-256GU32G2-CTI 256 GB

Light, fast and compact

The A-Data SE760 is made in the same style as the popular A-Data SE800 SSD: the body is easily hidden in a shirt pocket, there are a minimum of identification marks on the end, and the brushed metal lies nicely in the hand. The only difference is that the SE760 has a more oblong case and is not protected from water. That's why it's a little cheaper. Against the backdrop of ever-shrinking external drives, the A-Data SE760 is far from the most compact solution. Its weight is only 95 grams with dimensions of 122x44x14 mm. It's a little bigger than a plastic credit card or a massive Zippo gas lighter.

Support for next generation consoles

For data transfer, A-Data SE760 is equipped with a double-sided USB-C connector, which makes it easy to connect to modern PCs and laptops with this port. This is a plus, since personally in our case the drive quickly became friends with both the MacBook and the Linux workstation. Using the USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, the drive's read speed can reach up to 1000MB/s, which is almost twice that of other available external SSDs. There is also official support for next-generation consoles from Sony PS5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X and Series S. Needless to say, these are important advantages over other available “outsiders”?

Speeds up to 1000 Mb/s

However, if your motherboard does not support this interface or the device does not have UASP drivers installed, you can count on speeds within the usual 250 – 550 MB / s. It all depends on the buffer load, the number of files being transferred, their size, etc. Given the rather affordable price of the SE760, speeds above 550 MB / s can be more easily perceived as a bonus.
