ADATA UE800 2TB
Score: 91/100
PNY Turbo Attaché 3 128GB 5-pack
Score: 90/100Rankings
The ADATA UE800 delivers blazing-fast 1000 MB/s read/write performance in a sleek metal, capless USB-C form factor, backed by a generous 5-year warranty. Its lack of IP protection and built-in encryption keep it from being a rugged or secure solution for sensitive data.
PNY's Turbo Attaché 3 128 GB 5-pack offers very fast 140 MB/s reads, a cap-less sliding collar, and an activity LED in a lightweight plastic body, providing good value for casual users, but inconsistent write speeds and a stiff slider can be frustrating.
