    For the benchmarks I have chosen to offer synthetic benchmark results that are repeatable and should provide a good basis for comparison.  This is external storage device so while running PCMark 10 might be fun to watch it does not offer a realistic result.

    Notice the connection type on the Info screen, this is how you tell if a drive is connected via UASP and what transfer model it is using.  SATA is similar to the drives you connect using a cable in your PC.  (aka not the M.2 type)
