In order to test Hide.me’s speeds I rated connection speeds across its servers in countries all around the world for multiple days and then compared them to my baseline internet speeds. Across all locations tested, the speeds averaged just over 45 percent of the base download speed and 67 percent of the base upload speed. That’s okay, but short of our list of the fastest VPNs. These results fall right in line with the average speeds I found in my last review of the service. At a time when many other VPN providers are prioritizing server speeds, I can’t help but question why more hasn’t been d
Tested: Hide.me is a feature-packed VPN that rewards tinkeringIn descending order of performance the current external interfaces are: 80Gbps Thunderbolt 5/USB4, 40Gbps USB4/Thunderbolt 3 and 4, 20Gbps USB 3.2x2 (dedicated port required or it's 10Gbps), 10GBps USB 3.2, then 5Gbps USB 3.x. For optimal gaming performance, we recommend 20Gbps or higher, though you can easily make do with 10Gbps.Note that currently, the real-world difference in performance between 40Gbps and 80Gbps is minimal. Also, the increase in power draw and heat produced as you climb the performance ladder from 10Gbps to 80Gbps is noticeable.Note that you'll occasionally see mentions of
The verdict is in: These are the 7 best external SSDs for gamingAt 80Gbps, the LaCie Rugged SSD Pro5 is our choice for absolute best performance. If speed is important, but you want to save a bit of coin, then the best 40Gbps external drive is the Adata SE920. For still-great 20Gbps performance, and a significant cost savings, consider the PNY RP60 and Crucial X10 Pro. Note that the Teamgroup X2 Max still offers good 10Gbps in a super-small form factor.
