Package and its Contents
The SE920 SSD arrived in a retail package which is blinding-pink. The package highlights the product name and capacity. The exterior is well-described with general specifications, support contacts, and various product and serial numbers.
Inside the package, we will find an SSD, USB4/TB4 cable, and a short user’s manual. We won’t need anything else for the installation. The ADATA SSD ToolBox mentioned on the previous page of this review is available for download from the ADATA website, but it’s also not required.
Since it’s an external storage, all we have to do is to connect the SSD with the included cable. It doesn’t require additional power supplies or anything else.
The SSD works in two modes – with active and passive cooling. We can switch between modes by simply pushing the top/bottom of the SSD. In the active mode, the SSD is a bit longer, and the gap becomes larger, letting more air inside.
The SE920 SSD is larger than the most popular external SSD. The enclosure works as a heatsink, but it doesn’t get very hot, even during extended work in the full-speed mode (read it as a full-speed USB4 connection, which makes the SSD heat up some more).
On the back of the SSD is a typical print with the product’s name, serial and product numbers, and various certificate logos.
We will show you how the SE920 SSD performs on the next page of this review.
