The appearance of the mobile hard disk is convenient for many friends who need to travel, travel office, because the mechanical mobile hard disk has larger capacity and better performance than the U disk.
In the USB3.0 era, the traditional mechanical mobile hard disk can reach 5200 rpm and 7200 rpm. It is no problem to deal with various large documents on the mobile disk.
The era is always changing. SSD is now also joining the battle of mobile storage. Although expensive but Higher speed, quieter Is this a mobile hard drive that everyone needs?
Toshiba Storage has expanded its product line of mobile hard drives and launched mobile solid state drives. Toshiba storage XS700 240G (hereinafter referred to as Toshiba Storage XS700), Tmall Price 759 yuan.
Speed is not the first productivity, you may understand after reading the next review.
Small, elegant, classic business model
The Toshiba Storage XS700 has a single matte metal panel on the front, a rounded back design and a different black skin type on the front.

The Toshiba storage XS700 has a mirrored sideband at the front and back junctions. The effect is very eye-catching.
The side can be seen on the Toshiba storage XS700 itself is connected to the Type-c interface. The front and back materials are also different.
The Toshiba storage XS700 is very compact and weighs about 90 grams. 96mmx75mmx11mm Specifications hand so Big Interface, Toshiba storage XS700 supports USB3.0, USB3.1 interface, can also access a variety of Type-C interface devices through the included Type-C adapter.
summary:
Toshiba's storage of the XS700 mobile solid state drive is as usual. Toshiba's storage of 'simple business style' is small and light, and the workmanship is quite good. Although it is easy to become a fingerprint collector, black does not show fingerprints.
The most important hard work of a hard disk is to see how its transmission speed is. Toshiba stores the XS700 as a solid-state hard disk. It is much faster than reading and writing about 100MB/s of a normal mechanical mobile hard disk. We used the following configuration to test.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 (OC3.75GHz)
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX X370-I GAMING
Memory: Galaxy GMAER DDR4-2400 8G
Hard disk: INTEL 760P M.2 128G (system disk)
Test disk: Toshiba storage XS700 240G solid state hard drive (access to red USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface)
System: Windows 10 Professional
Driver: System default latest version
Below we will format the Toshiba Storage XS700 into the NTFS format commonly used by Windows hard disks to test its performance.
AS SSD 1G, 3G, 5G, 10G test
↑↑↑1G test data on the left side of the 1G test data
↑↑↑Left 3G test data to the right 10G test data
AS SSD BenchMark is a running software for SSDs. We ran 1G, 3G, 5G, 10G (the higher the analog write, the lower the score will definitely be). Simulated the various read and write situations when the hard disk is actually used.
Toshiba's storage XS700 test performed well, in all tests Keep it stable of Reading speed.
In the 1G read and write test reached 442MB / s, 449MB / s exceeded the expectations of BrotherYi, written in the 3G read and write test 381MB / s, 5G, 10G read and write test sequential writes are still in More than 100MB/s.
CrystalDiskMark
In the commonly used SSD running software CrystalDiskMark Middle East Zhishi storage XS700 1G read and write scores are quite high, Sequential read and write Reached 490.7MB/s, 488.1MB/s 4K Q1T1 also has 25.05MB/s, 39.12MB/s. This score is similar to that of first-line SATA solid state drives.
Disk Speed Test
Disk Speed Test is a software designed by the famous BlackMagicDesign in the film industry to measure whether the speed of storage devices meets the needs of film and television work (BMD's most famous is the video coloring solution ' Da Vinci').
Let's see to see Toshiba storage XS700 can Coding in Proress 422 (lossy format encoding) Next project Satisfied The need for 4K reading and writing , Native RAW video read and write and also Just can't support 4K50 frames, 60 frames only In 10bit color depth 4:2:2 sampling can also meet the needs of 1080P reading and writing.
This can satisfy Most film and television industry clips of ultra high definition video on mobile discs, output The task is over.
TxBENCH basic test
Store XS700 in TxBENCH Middle East Sequential read and write for 547.884MB/s, 463.226MB/s , random 4K QD1 read and write speed is 26.294MB/s, 38.043MB/s There is not much difference with the performance in CrystalDiskMark.

ATTO Disk Benchmark is an easy-to-use disk transfer rate detection software that can be used to detect the read and write rates of hard drives, USB drives, memory cards and other removable disks.
Toshiba storage XS700 is also relatively stable for reading and writing files of various sizes. More than 32KB file read and write speed can reach full speed.
HD Tune PRO

HD Tune Pro test is in No cache acceleration In the case of particles, the true transmission speed can be seen in Continuous external, continuous middle, continuous internal, burst transmission 4 items The reading speed of the Middle East Shiba storage XS700 is maintained at 330MB/s or so , the write speed is 290MB/s or so.
Anvil's Storage Utilities
Finally, let's look at the results of the Toshiba storage XS700 1G test in Anvil's Storage Utilities. The sequential read and write speed is 456.83MB/s , 425.43MB/s, Random 4K read and write speed is 26.58MB/s, 36.19MB/s.
summary:
Toshiba storage XS700 240G solid state mobile hard disk Compared with the traditional mechanical mobile hard disk, there is a qualitative leap.
The read/write speed is the same as that of the first-line SATA interface solid state drive, which is 3-5 times faster than the traditional mechanical mobile disk. The temperature during operation is also low at 30 °C-35 °C, and there is almost no noise.
Summary: High speed mobile Office, mobile multimedia editing
Toshiba storage XS700 240G in design Adhering to Toshiba's storage style -Simple and elegant Very much Business model.
At the same time volume , transfer speed , fever , Working sound The aspect is superior to the traditional mechanical mobile hard disk. 759 yuan of Price Correct normal consumer There may be a lack of price/performance ratio.
in fact Toshiba storage XS700 240G More biased towards A productivity tool suitable for Media people who need to run around the office, exhibitors.
because USB3.0, 3.1 interface can play the Toshiba storage XS700 450MB / s read and write speed strength, this Can greatly accelerate Copy or edit pictures, videos directly at the event The speed, the picture, the video is distributed to the channel faster.
of course Toshiba storage XS700 240G Also suitable Going home to work overtime , without the network disk, you can easily connect the two places and the company without downloading.
People who go home to work overtime don’t have to worry about data security issues. Toshiba is also Toshiba storage XS700 240G Provide a program for data encryption.
As for taking Toshiba storage XS700 240G When it comes to the mobile storage disk of the game, BrotherYi doesn't recommend it because it doesn't have a performance-friendly top PC to give you a big game, right?
All in all: The price of SSD for SATA interface has become reasonable, so it is an inevitable trend for SATA SSD to move to the mobile market.
In the future, the high-end NVME protocol solid-state hard disk, after the price drop, will be transferred to the mobile hard disk market and the higher-speed lightning 3 interface is also foreseeable.
