One of the big features that came with Intel’s Z590 chipset was USB 3.2 gen 2×2 (20 Gbps) support directly from the chipset. That means that most Z590 motherboards will have at least one USB 3.2 gen 2×2 port. USB 3.2 gen 2×2 essentially doubles the speed (20 Gbps vs 10 Gbps) of USB 3.2 gen 2 so now external solid state drives will be speeds maxing out around 2000 MB/s! Today we are taking a look at one such drive in the ADATA SE900G, which not only is your typical portable solid state drive it also features some pretty cool RGB lighting! Let’s take a look and see what it can do!
Special thanks to ADATA for providing us with the SE900G External Solid State Drive to review.

Packaging
The SE900G comes in ADATA’s typical retail packaging. On the front we have a picture of the drive and it lets us know the capacity, that it works with PS5 and Xbox, and that it is of course a USB 3.2 gen 2×2 drive.
Flipping over to the back there specifications, system requirements, and package contents are listed in a few different languages.
Getting everything out of the box we have the SE900G drive, a USB-C cable, USB-C to USB-A cable, and a quick start guide.
