Professional reviewers commend the PD20 for its impressive 2,000 MB/s read capability, solid aluminum build, and IP54 durability, while noting that real-world large-file transfers can suffer from throttling. The ECO Mini's eco-friendly materials earn praise, but its slower USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 interface is seen as a drawback compared with the flagship model.
Consumers consistently praise the drive's feather-light weight, pocket-sized dimensions, and plug-and-play readiness, especially the included USB-C cable. Recurring concerns revolve around occasional speed drops on very large transfers and the reduced usable capacity after formatting.
Professional reviewers universally hail the MP700 PRO XT as the fastest SSD on the market, emphasizing its record-breaking 3.3 M IOPS, near-15 GB/s sequential throughput, and exceptional power efficiency. They commend its consistent TLC write speed of 4.2 GB/s, single-sided form factor for thin systems, and award it Editor's Choice for low-power excellence, while noting the only drawback is a modest 211 GB pSLC cache.
While formal consumer reviews are scarce, the limited user feedback highlights strong satisfaction with everyday speed gains, such as faster OS boots and responsive application loading, and no major complaints beyond the technical cache size.
