Giveaway: Win an ADATA SE880 2TB Portable External SSD

Q: What interface and maximum transfer speeds does the ADATA SE880 2TB use and require to reach advertised performance?

The ADATA SE880 2TB uses a USB 3.2 Gen2 x2 Type-C interface providing a 20Gbps connection and is rated for maximum sequential read and write speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s. Reaching the drive's advertised performance requires a compatible high-speed USB connection and suitable host hardware, with actual speeds depending on the computer, operating system, USB controller, workload, file sizes, and other hardware and software conditions.

Q: What is the physical size and weight of the ADATA SE880, and how portable is it for everyday carry?

The ADATA SE880 measures 64.8 x 35 x 12.25 mm, weighs 31 grams, and has an overall volume of about 28 cc. Its compact chassis and light weight make it small enough to keep in a pocket, laptop bag, camera bag, or other everyday carry setup, making it particularly convenient for users who regularly move between computers, work locations, gaming systems, or production environments.

ADATA SE880 2TB External SSD - a compact portable solid-state drive with a USB 3.2 Gen2 x2 Type-C interface, transfer speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s, a 20Gbps connection, 2TB of storage, broad operating system and device support, and a five-year limited warranty

ADATA lists maximum sequential read and write speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s, along with a 20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen2 x2 Type-C interface.

The ADATA SE880 is designed for people who need fast external storage without carrying around a large or heavy drive. Its compact chassis measures just 64.8 x 35 x 12.25mm and weighs only 31 grams, making it small enough to keep in a pocket, laptop bag, camera bag, or other everyday carry setup. ADATA puts the drive's overall volume at just 28cc, giving the SE880 an exceptionally compact footprint for a 2TB external SSD. That makes it particularly convenient for users who regularly move between different computers, work locations, gaming systems, or production environments.

Despite its small dimensions, the SE880 is built around a high-bandwidth USB 3.2 Gen2 x2 Type-C connection. The interface supports transfer rates of up to 20Gbps, which is twice the bandwidth of a conventional 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen2 connection and four times the bandwidth of a 5Gbps USB 3.2 Gen1 connection. The drive is rated for sequential read and write speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s. That level of performance makes it suitable for moving large media libraries, backing up substantial folders, transferring game installations, transporting project files, and working with high-resolution photo or video assets.

Reaching the drive's maximum advertised performance requires a compatible high-speed USB connection and suitable host hardware. Actual transfer speeds will depend on the computer, operating system, USB controller, workload, file sizes, and other hardware and software conditions.

The 2TB capacity gives the winner a useful amount of space for both everyday storage and more demanding workloads. It can be used as a fast portable project drive, a destination for local backups, additional storage for a laptop or compact desktop, or a way to carry a large collection of games and media between compatible devices. ADATA lists support for Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS X 10.6 or later, Linux Kernel 2.6 or later, and Android 8.0 or later. Supported devices also include recent iPad Pro and MacBook models, giving the drive broad compatibility across desktop, notebook, tablet, and mobile workflows.

The SE880 can also be connected to supported gaming systems, with ADATA listing compatibility with the Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4 Pro. The compact enclosure includes a USB Type-C port and an activity indicator, keeping the external design straightforward and easy to use. Its portable form factor also means users can add 2TB of solid-state storage without installing an internal drive or opening their computer.

ADATA backs the SE880 with a five-year limited warranty, providing long-term coverage for the drive. Together with its lightweight construction, broad device support, and up to 2,000 MB/s performance, the warranty rounds out a strong portable storage package. For the eventual winner, the ADATA SE880 2TB combines substantial storage capacity with the performance and portability needed for modern gaming, content creation, backups, and everyday file transfers. It is a practical prize for anyone who needs fast storage that can move easily between multiple devices.
