At present, the three main brands in the field of mobile SSDs are Micron, Western Digital and Samsung, all three of which are first-line brands that are able to produce their own flash memory particles and main control chips.
From the comprehensive aspects of quality, reliability, stability and durability, read and write performance, Micron, Western Digital, and Samsung mobile SSDs are horizontally large PK: which brand is more cost-effective?
Let's take a look at the Samsung series of portable SSDs first.
Samsung's series of portable SSDs is one of the most eye-catching products in the market, and its portable SSDs use high-performance NVMe main control chips and high-quality flash memory chips to have excellent read and write speeds and stability.
