Introduction:
TechwareLabs has reviewed countless portable storage devices over the years and we continue to be impressed with the trend of increased storage capacity in a decreased space leading to smaller devices. Add this to the trend in technology continuing to allow for faster transfer speeds and you have the recipe for USB 3.0 devices such as the one we are looking at today.
The portable 2.5” drive has been around for a several years now and since USB 3.0 has become main stream peripheral manufacturers are already offering 2.5″ portables in a USB 3.0 flavor. One manufacturer in particular is Lian Li who has always engineered some of the highest quality all aluminum computer cases and enclosures which have been second to none in the market place. We have one of Lian Li’s 2.5” HDD External Enclosures that is USB 3.0 compatible, let’s take a close look at the new EX-10Q 2.5”
