The largest version you can get right now is 2 TB, but the price is reasonable considering the speed increase. If you're doing a lot of drive-intensive tasks, like editing video or gaming, this drive is well worth the money. The SN 770 M.2 2280 achieved speeds of 5,100 MB per second in my testing, which is blazing fast.
HIDRIVE PORTABLE SERIES
There are a ton of these on the market and I haven't had time to test many yet, but so far, out of the half dozen I have tried, Western Digital's WD Black series has stood out for speed, and they don't run very hot.
HIDRIVE PORTABLE PC
Again, check your PC to confirm the drive it needs before you buy. More compact laptops may use the similar, but shorter, M.2 2242 design. In my experience, the most common form factor is M.2 2280, which is the long thin drive in the image above.

Consult your manufacturer's documentation to find out. The first thing to figure out is which drive your PC uses. If you want to put a bigger SSD in your laptop, all you need is a bare drive, which is generally cheaper than the drives with enclosures listed above. (Take all claims of “military standard” with a grain of salt-there’s no one actually doing independent tests, which is not to pick on OWC, as every “rugged” drive maker claims things like this.) What impressed me the most about this drive, though, is how incredibly cool it stays even under a heavy load (like editing 4K video footage straight from the drive). It’s IP67-rated and reasonably drop-proof. For most, the 2-TB model is plenty, though still pricey at $400. It’s even faster and comes in sizes up to 4 TB, though the latter will set you back a staggering $900.
HIDRIVE PORTABLE PRO
If you want a larger drive, both physically and in terms of storage capacity, OWC’s Envoy Pro FX ($349 for 1 TB) makes a great choice as well. I also like that you can swap out the drive inside the aluminum casing (it's easy to unscrew), which means two years from now, you can pick up a faster bare SSD and drop it in the Elektron. It's tough to pick a winner here because there are many solid options, but OWC's Elektron drive narrowly beat others in benchmark tests. Interplastica 2022 will take place from 25-28 January 2022.If you need a drive that can stand up to life in a backpack or camera bag, get wet, or handle a drop onto hard surfaces, OWC drives are your best choice. The cycle time is around six seconds, which corresponds to a throughput of around 19,200 moulded parts per hour.

The exhibit is equipped with a 32-cavity mould from Zahoransky and prepared for use in cleanrooms. They combine electric speed and precision on the clamping side with hydraulic power and dynamics during injection. The hybrid high-performance machines of the Hidrive series are optimised for rapid series production and so are also ideally suited for bulk articles used in the personal care, medical and pharmaceutical industries. Our exhibit is therefore also geared towards these focal points.”Īrtur Metzler, country manager in sales responsible for Russia, added: “We are successfully holding our own in Russia, because we not only have the right products, but are also on the ground with a high level of commitment and a strengthened team in order to provide comprehensive support to our customers and partners. As personal support is an important factor for success, we are very much looking forward to Interplastica 2022.”Īt Interplastica 2022, a hybrid Allrounder 520 H with a clamping force of 1,500 kN will demonstrate the production-efficient, high-quality manufacture of pipette tips made of PP.


For Arburg, the entire region is strongly characterised by packaging and medical technology in technological terms, high-speed machines are very popular with our customers. Despite the Coronavirus pandemic, we were able to massively expand our business activities in 2021, with sales being particularly strong in valuable machines and systems. Steffen Eppler, director of sales in Europe, said: “Russia is a market with great potential, especially in the high-tech sector.
