With this setup, the Samsung SSD achieved read speeds of roughly 4,000 MB/s and write speeds of about 1,300 MB/s. Those are great numbers. Accessing files felt instantaneous. It took no time at all to open the movie I stored inside the drive. The read speed also shows that the enclosure isn't restricting the drive. It's making full use of the Thunderbolt connection. Writing large files is equally impressive, letting users save big files fast.
First off, this cable does everything it says it on the spec sheet. It actually carries 240W of power, which is saying something, as you'd be amazed how may I came across make that claim but in practice are limited to 100W, or even 60W. In my testing, however, I confirmed it can carry data at 40Gbps and video at 8K 60Hz, and is compatible with Thunderbolt 4 standards.
I've been commuting with the Swift 16 AI for the past month, and it's become a surprise favorite of the year. It stands out as a great-value ultraportable that's as versatile as it is capable and has fantastic battery life. Also: I tested the world's smallest 1TB SSD drive, and it's a game-changer for work travel The Acer Swift 16 AI features a minimalist build, with an all-over, metallic matte black coating that looks a lot like the LG Gram Pro 16.
Building your own custom gaming PC is a good way to save some money versus just outright buying a pre-built, but that doesn't exactly mean it's cheap. PC parts can be expensive and as you start adding CPUs, graphics cards, SSDs, and more to your cart, that number skyrockets pretty fast. If you can find any of those parts at a discount, it isn't such a bad idea to pay them some attention.
