SSD GOODRAM series HL (external)
prices on 1 modelGOODRAM HL
If your work requires you to constantly exchange tens of gigabytes of information, GOODRAM HL SSDs can be an excellent alternative to slow and bulky external HDDs. Due to the lack of mechanical parts, solid-state drives are much less sensitive to mechanical damage than conventional hard drives, they are much faster and not much more expensive. Plus, they are compact - the thickness of the average HL drive does not exceed 10-15 mm, and the average weight is 60 grams.
It seems that GOODRAM is not particularly interested in the Hi-End segment, so most HL drives use standard NAND flash memory and proven, but not too expensive controllers, which is why the technical indicators of this line, plus or minus, correspond to those of classic SATA3 SSDs. Thanks to exFAT formatting, they are recognized out of the box by all popular operating systems - from Windows and macOS to Linux and Android. For convenience, HL drives usually come with several cables: USB A - USB C and double-sided USB C, which somewhat simplifies the process of connecting to a wide variety of gadgets.
As for the read and write speed, everything is similar to base-level SSDs with a SATA 3 connection: the speed is limited by the interface, so the typical read rate does not exceed 520 MB/s, while files are written at an average speed of 440-500 MB/s . The choice of volumes ranges from 250 to 20,000 GB.
