With the AMD 800 series and Intel 800 series chipsets, plus some rare cases of AM5 cards in B650E like the one we analyzed signed GIGABYTE B650E AORUS ProUSB 4 and the Thunderbolt 4 are democratizing. Although these two standards are not strictly the same, there is a striking resemblance in the flow rates at full throttle. USB 4.0 only exists in the form of USB Type-C connectors, and will, in the short term, become the dominant port for this type of connectivity. The files to be transferred are always large despite the use of CODEC preserving the original quality while reducing the weight, so having an external storage unit capable of taking advantage of USB 4.0 is not a bad plan if you want to save time.
You will find USB 4.0 external enclosures on the web, all you have to do is insert an SSD inside and you will have done your thing. But there are turnkey solutions, in any case Corsair prepare his own. At CES, the firm presented theEX400Uno bigger than a 4G Box, quite flat, offering sequential reading speeds of 4000 MB/s and writing speeds of 3600 MB/s. Its connection is USB Type-C, it manages USB 4.0 but is also backwards compatible with past standards as long as they have the same connector. It is not said which SSDs will go inside (translate by what references), and even less the price, the capacities will be 1, 2 or 4 TB, the interest was mainly to make an impression and offer a solution to the needs of some. The launch would be imminent, it would be January 23. (Source: TPU)
