- Key Specs
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 430 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 400 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Interface(s): USB 3.0 (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)
