Asus ROG STRIX ARION S500 Mobile hard drive After buying it, I shared my experience. The full text is a bit long and the reading time is about 9 minutes.
(Everyone needs a good mobile hard disk )
"Mobile hard disk" I have to say that it is really the treasure of data experts.
is convenient and easy to carry, and is a must-have for storing large files.
You may have encountered some troubles. Your laptop has enough memory, but because of shooting 4K videos and storing large files, it is necessary for a while but then deleted, so the first time is the only mobile hard drive to help.
Large capacity, efficient transmission, stability and brand reputation are the conditions for my preferred mobile hard drive to meet my excellent usage status during use.
(First understanding of Asus S500 mobile hard drive)
just ushered in September, Ausu released a new mobile hard drive. I learned about it by the way, and it happened to solve my urgent needs.
The name of this mobile hard drive of Asus is quite long. The ROG STRIX ARION S500 is called, to be simple, the Asus S500 has a capacity of 500GB.
In terms of appearance, the mobile hard disk should use an aluminum alloy shell and has a full weight. The surface can be seen as a mecha design element, and there is also a special logo on it. The overall feel is very matte and layered, and the workmanship is simply a good review. At first glance, it looks very high-end.
It is just the right size and weighs only 107 grams. It is very small when putting in your pocket. It is much smaller than an iPhone 7. Even if you are a little handed girl won't think it is too big.
There is another detail to share with you during use. When connected to the device, the hard disk will light up the RGB lighting effect. It has several different light colors, especially at night, which has a very atmosphere.
This mobile hard drive will be given two transmission cables by default, including USB C-C and USB A-C interfaces. With these two cables, the mobile hard drive can be used as you like. The length of the cable is about 35cm, which is thick, sturdy and durable.
(Performance part - actual test)
The above process of understanding this hard disk is not the focus, but what I care about most is its transmission speed and stability. It is understood that the Asus S500 supports USB 3.2 Gen2 transmission protocol and provides a 10Gbps Type-C interface. The official claims that the fastest transmission speed can reach 1050MB/s, which is almost 12 times faster than a regular mobile hard disk. Some students may have no idea about the USB 3.2 Gen2 interface. Let me give you a brief example.
can be regarded as one of the fastest transmission rates in the USB 3.2 Gen 2 transmission protocol. After USB technology was developed, it officially launched USB 3.2 in 2017. USB 3.2 includes multiple version variants, USB 3.2 Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 2X2. Of course, the fastest is USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, with the fastest being 20Gbps (actual file transfer 1.6GB/s), while Gen 2 and Gen 1 are 10Gbps (actual file transfer 800M/s) and 5Gbps (actual file transfer 300MB/s) respectively. After understanding this, we probably know it.
The following key points are here, let’s experience how the Asus S500 mobile hard drive performs.
Understand a series of testing software to understand and analyze the hard disk, in the order of new detection and transmission performance detection of the hard disk.
was first analyzed using CrystalDiskInfo. It can be seen that it has a capacity of 500GB and supports S.M.A.R.T, TRIM and VolatileWriteCache series functions. The temperature is 26℃ and the hard disk is powered on 5 times, and the reading and writing are zero. It can be seen that this is a brand new piece. I just used it several times when I tested it. In terms of performance, the software we participated in the test are TxBENCH, CrystalDiskMark and AS SSD Benchmark.In the
TxBENCH test, the maximum sequential reading speed is 981MB/s, and the maximum writing score is 1029.5MB/s. According to the official introduction to us, the maximum speed of 1050MB/s is completely consistent. Of course, the reading and writing speeds are also related to the complexity of the file and the random order. Just like in the test results, the average value in random transmission is 280MB/s. When a 10GB complex folder is transmitted through actual measurement, it can be seen that it is about 280MB/s. Because this is a complex file package, this score is already very good.
continues to be tested through CrystalDiskMark and AS SSD Benchmark: The average given by
is similar to the score given by TxBENCH. In the end, (CrystaIDskMark) has a maximum read value of 984MB/s and a maximum write value of 1026MB/s, while (AS SSD Benchmark) has a maximum write value of 921MB/s and a maximum write value of 943MB/s. As the official said, this is the case.
Overall, this test result can be obtained, and its performance is very satisfactory.
until later, it is necessary to conduct a random file transfer test to test the best transfer effect and see how it can perform. The total capacity of the test file is 10GB, including more nested folders.
Unfortunately, due to the peak transmission rate limit, the maximum transmission can only be carried out about 300MB/s. The final test also stabilizes at an average value of 300MB/s.
If the copying notebook now fully supports the maximum transmission rate, the theoretical speed limit of this mobile hard disk USB 3.2 Gen2 protocol can also be increased at least several times.
originally wanted to test the maximum 1050MB/s. It seems that I can only change the full peak load test next time.
, but I am still very satisfied with the performance this time. In addition, I have to say that the luminous sign on the side made me wait for a few minutes less boring.
(working - durable and good heat dissipation)
Fast transmission is the reason for me to choose it. In addition, there is also heating, but it can be ignored because it is designed with a 1.5mm thick thermal pad.
This is exactly the question I used in the first place, why did I transfer so many files but the heat was very small. Now, by opening the internals, I know the mystery.
How to open the internal way of ASUS S500 mobile hard drive, insert the small hole next to the USB C interface with a card pin, and you can open the internal way of its mobile hard drive (the type of card pin is just for mobile phones).
There are also solid workmanship and dense circuit diagram board designs inside the mobile hard disk.
ASUS S500 mobile hard drive also supports Xbox, PS4, PS5 and other game consoles, compatible with ROG SSD Dashboard software, can be used on platforms such as Windows 7/8/10, MacOS, etc. It is more reliable in compatibility and stability. It is recommended that you set the password for the mobile hard drive after using it, which is also more important to us.
Summary
Finally, when it comes to products, the overall feeling of Asus S500 mobile hard drive is quite reliable, including workmanship, performance transmission, and stability, and I believe more about its quality and quality. It is used to play motherboards. Among PC computers around the world, one of the four computer motherboards is Asus. It is conceivable that it is so gratifying in this regard. Although this hard drive is a little expensive and it costs 899 to buy it, there is absolutely no second at this price, which can copy the results of the Asus S500 mobile hard drive.
or above is the experience and experience of the Asus ROG STRIX ARION S500 mobile hard drive in the past few days. Although there is a lot of content shared, I hope it can really help you. This can be used as a reference and share it more in the future.
