Gigabyte has announced an External SSD that uses real USB 3.2 connectivity from 20 Gbps, i.e. USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 , to achieve operating speeds close to that of an internal NVMe SSD. Specifically, this unit is capable of exceeding 2. 000 MB / s connected to a USB-C port

The messy nomenclature current USB, defined more by marketing issues that seek to deceive the user rather than logic, makes us see devices with “USB 3.2” that are really USB 3.0 by using the name “USB 3.2 gen1”, the same for USB 3.1, which is now called “USB 3.2 gen 2”. However, what should be the real USB 3.2, dubbed USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, is not so easy to see, and this Gigabyte VISION is one of the few external drives that use this format with which speeds of 20 Gbps are achieved.

1 Capacity 2 TB. 000 MB / s in the new Gigabyte Vision External SSD

Available with 1 TB capacity, uses a controller Phison E 12 , that we have already seen in SSD NVME , to manage their 3D TLC NAND memory cells with which it manages to reach those speeds, all integrated in a resistant housing that allows it to comply with the military standard MIL-STD – 810 G 516, 6, resisting fall Ace up to 1.2 meters high.

At the moment we do not know its price and availability in our country.
