Silicon Power's PX10 portable SSD is a great choice for content-creators, professionals or gamers looking for a fast, yet affordable, storage solution that they can use to securely store their data while on the go. Constructed out of aluminum, this ultra-compact, lightweight drive not only looks great, it's durable enough to handle whatever life throws at it, including accidental drops of up to 1.2m. The PX10 also packs up to 4TB of NAND flash for hours worth of 4K 60fps video and, with its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, you can transfer data to and from your computer, mobile device or game console at some respectable speeds. In our sequential read and write tests, the 1TB version of the PX10 was able to read at speeds as high as 1,002 MB/s and write at speeds in excess of 1,020 MB/s.
