The Elite SE880 comes in a small black box. Along with a picture of the drive, the front advertises many of the drive's key features including its 1TB capacity, USB 3.2 Gen2 x2 Type-C interface and its compatibility with PS5 and Xbox gaming consoles. The back of the box provides a bit more information regarding the Elite SE880's specifications, system requirements and package contents. Inside, you'll find the SSD, a USB 3.2 Type-C to C cable, a USB 3.2 Type-C to A cable and a small fold out, quick start guide.
Physical Features:
The Elite SE880 is one of the smallest portable SSDs to come through the 'Labs. Measuring 64.8 x 35 x 12.25 mm and weighing a mere 31g, the drive fits comfortably in the palm of a hand as well as your pocket.
Despite being compact and lightweight, the Elite SE880 is very well constructed. While the end caps are black plastic, the body of the drive is made out of aluminum and is covered by a nice looking titanium gray finish.
The Elite SE880's USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port is located on the end of the drive. This interface not only transfers data, but provides power for the device. To the left of the USB port there is also a small LED that lights up blue when the Elite SE880 is powered on and will flash when transferring data.
If you were to crack the Elite SE880 open, you'd find Silicon Motion's SM2320 controller. Designed for use in portable SSDs, this DRAM-less controller solution features an on-chip USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface as well as four NAND flash channels. The SM2320 also includes Silicon Motion's NANDXtend ECC end-to-end data path protection and supports up to 4TB of capacity using the latest TLC and QLC NAND.
