As with all our portable disk reviews, I would just like to make it clear from the start that we are, by no means, expecting the compared USB flash drives on the list to deliver performance competitive with the LaCie Rugged SSD 1TB external solid state drive. However, our AIDA64 results do provide interesting insight to the performance of the LaCie Rugged SSD 1TB as a USB 3.1 Gen 2 storage device. Delivering up to 890.6MB/s sequential read, 888.1MB/s random read, and 823.1MB/s buffered read, it came in only second to the Crucial X8 1TB -- and a close one at that; with both being NVMe-based devices. The third on the list, the LaCie Mobile SSD 500GB, also an external SSD, was only roughly half as fast as it is a SATA-based device. Its 0.12 ms random access time is what you would expect from a USB solid state drive as well. So far, for 1TB of USB 3.1 Gen 2 storage, this is some serious speed.
