re: TESTED, OMG: OWC Express 1M2 USB4 SSD Trounces the Fastest Thunderbolt 3 SSD

Test results are one thing, but what about real-world usage?

In real-world usage, most usage is reading, since large files like images and video are usually written once and only once. Small files... don’t matter much, being small.

Big jobs

Data integrity verification via IntegrityChecker Java is as real-world as it gets, a “heavyweight” operation in that it is performed on the entire volume capacity, and done frequently.

You are following best practices for data integrity, right?

Test results: icj verify ~8TB

At these speeds, verifying 8TB of data will take only about 38 minutes!

Never before have I seen any external SSD exceed about 2800 MB/sec, but here we see up to 3454 MB/sec.

Unprecedented performance!
