Physical Design

For external ssds, what you can't see matters more than what you can - the controller, NAND type, and DRAM cache determine real-world speed. The enclosure is just the wrapper. Performance ratings are mostly positive with occasional reports of throttling on long file transfers.

Worth noting on the Aiibe 1TB External SSD specifically - reviews repeatedly flag "Fast USB 3.2 transfer" as a standout.
