help ADATA SD600Q External SSD FAQ

What speeds does the ADATA SD600Q actually reach?

ADATA's SD600Q datasheet lists sequential speeds of up to about 440 MB/s read and 430 MB/s write. The exact result depends on the drive capacity, USB port, cable, and computer. [ADATA datasheet](https://www.adata.com/upload/downloadfile/datasheet_sd600q_20210505.pdf)

Does the ADATA SD600Q use NVMe PCIe Gen3?

The SD600Q is an external USB SSD built around a USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection, not a direct PCIe Gen3 connection to the computer. Its published USB speeds are therefore lower than those of an internal NVMe SSD.

Is the ADATA SD600Q rugged enough for travel?

ADATA describes the SD600Q as having a shock-resistant construction and no moving parts. It is still an external electronic device, so shock resistance does not mean it is waterproof or indestructible.

Can the ADATA SD600Q be used for portable computer storage?

Yes, it is designed as a portable USB storage drive for computers with a compatible USB connection. A Windows or macOS system should recognize it as external storage, but real transfer speed will be limited by the host port.
