Those looking for USB4 performance without breaking the bank should be shopping Addlink’s P30. It’s priced more like a 10Gbps SSD than a 40Gbps model, and while it’s the slowest USB4 drive we’ve tested, that’s like saying it’s the slowest F1 car on the grid — it’s still plenty fast.

On the downside, actual transfer speeds can vary depending on the device and interface used, so you may not always hit the maximum 4,000 megabytes per second. Additionally, while the 2 TB model is spacious, users needing more storage might want to consider the higher capacity options. Lastly, the premium features and build come at a slightly higher price point compared to basic external SSDs.
