Highlights

  • Enterprise-class high-endurance NVMe SSD
  • Sustained speeds up to 1,000 MB/s
  • USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, compatible with USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt 3
  • Fanless aluminum heatsink shell
  • Includes external power supply, USB-C and USB-A cables, removable cover

Best for

A video editor or DIT who needs high-capacity SSD storage with steady sustained speed.

Things to consider

  • It needs its external power supply, so it is less portable than bus-powered SSDs.
  • The capacity menu lists 30.72TB, but the spec sheet says up to 15.3TB; confirm the size before ordering.
  • At 1,000 MB/s it is slower than USB4 drives like Glyph's own Atom EX40.
