Verbatim

Verbatim measures the object and leaves out the rate

What Verbatim covers here

A two-terabyte portable hard drive, a two-terabyte portable SSD and a one-terabyte SATA SSD.

The physical side, published

The portable SSD gives its weight at 42 g, all three of its measurements, the magnetic attachment it is built around and both leads in the box, the shorter of them 6.5 cm long. The SATA drive publishes a written total of up to 480 TB and a population statistic of two million hours in the same sentence, kept properly apart — the fullest endurance page in that family.

The rate that never arrives

That same portable SSD publishes a link rate of up to 20 Gbps and not one figure in megabytes per second in either direction, so what the fast link returns is left open. The portable hard drive carries a capacity, a generation and a colour in its title, and one bullet stating that the connection technology is wired; whether a cable is in the box is not on the page.

  • Portable SSDs

    Verbatim SnapBack UltraSlim 2 TB, the one link rate in gigabits

    2 TB · USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 · up to 20 Gbps · 42 g · 7.0 × 5.7 × 0.5 cm · magnetic attachment · two leads, 6.5 cm and 20 cm · no read or write figure · no TBW, no MTBF, no warranty

    A two-terabyte portable drive that publishes its link rate in gigabits per second, its weight and all three of its measurements, and that never gives a figure in megabytes per second for either direction.

    Best for: Recording video straight from a telephone, where the magnetic attachment and the short curved lead are the design and a desk machine is not the main host.

  • SATA SSDs

    Verbatim Vi550 S3 1 TB, a written total and a population statistic in one bullet

    1 TB · 2.5-inch · up to 550 MB/s read · TBW rating of up to 480 TB · 2 million hours MTBF · three measurements with no height named · 45 g · no warranty term

    A one-terabyte drive that publishes both a written total and a population statistic in the same sentence, gives three measurements without saying which is the height, and never states a warranty term.

    Best for: A machine where the written total is the deciding figure and the buyer will confirm the thickness and the term with the seller before ordering.

  • External hard drives

    Verbatim Store ’n’ Go 2 TB, sold on a title and three words

    2 TB · portable · USB 3.0 · black · one bullet, which says the connection is wired · nothing else published

    A two-terabyte portable drive whose title carries the capacity, the generation and the colour, and whose only bullet states that the connection technology is wired.

    Best for: A buyer who knows this range already and wants two terabytes at a known price, rather than anyone comparing specifications across a shelf.
