There are a lot of components that are extremely striking when we see them for the first time, either because they are extremely innovative or because they try to make everything much easier to use. In this case ADATA has presented a series of new features that leave no one behind, as is the case of a SSD portable that comes with an additional implementation, since in addition to allowing us to save our information, it also works as a batteryalthough it is clear that this is not the only thing that has caught our attention about what the brand has presented during CES.
Data storage systems are increasingly evolving, making it necessary that on many occasions companies representing the sector have to make a series of changes to achieve their objectives, and obviously one of them is the ability to perform more functions in addition to the basic one. that they have. In this case it is clear that the external SSD model that the brand has presented is one of the most striking that we can find in this aspect, since it manages to solve two problems with a single device.
Storage and battery combined into one, this is ADATA’s new external SSD
One of the great novelties that has caught our attention from everything that the company has presented is the new SR800, since it is a SSD external very different from what we are used to seeing. This device offers a USB 3.2 Gen 2 x2 (20 Gbps) interface, with transfer speeds that can reach 2,000 MB/s read and write, something that may seem quite simple at first for a portable SSD.
But this is not the only thing it includes, since in addition to being a storage device, it is also a charging device, because it incorporates a 5,000 mAh battery that can charge low-consumption devices such as a mobile phone. To do this, use the USB-PD interface if we want to use fast charging, which will offer 20 W, but it is also compatible with wireless charging, offering a total of 15 W.
It is also worth noting that it can be incorporated directly into the back of a phone, without forgetting that the SSD, which has a size of 4 TB, is created so that it can be easily replaced.
A perfect cooling system for cutting-edge components
In addition to the SSD that we mentioned before, ADATA has also prepared another very striking product. As we well know, one of the strong points that M.2 SSDs have are the speeds they can reach, the ability to transfer files at 14,500 MB/s is something that many people might think would be impossible, but we have seen how there are already some models capable of reaching these speeds. Now the brand has presented a new model that offers a speed similar to this, reaching up to 14 GB/s in terms of reading and 12 GB/s if we talk about writing, demonstrating the capabilities of new technologies.
But it is clear that this comes with a price, the fact that the temperatures it can reach are quite high, so it is necessary to reduce them as much as possible, something that is often not enough with passive cooling systems. For this same reason, they have also developed an AIO liquid cooling system for this type of storage units, allowing the heat they generate to be greatly reduced.
In this case, it is built on a motherboard from which heat is conventionally transferred to a cylindrical heat dissipation surface (where the liquid is contained) that resembles a kind of radiator, where a pair of small 20 fans mm push in and out air, to keep the device cool.
