External USB-C SSD, 1050 MB/s, 4TB, 8TB or 16TB, aluminum housing, 50 grams, for laptops | Sansoti

External SSD with transfer speeds of up to 1050 MB/s

When writing a day's worth of video footage, the drive's speed is the bottleneck, not your computer. This external SSD with USB-C reaches speeds of up to 1050 MB/s via USB 3.2 Gen 2, which means a 100 GB folder is transferred in roughly two minutes instead of half an hour. The enclosure is made of aluminium with a silicone protective edge and weighs 50 grams, so it fits in the same bag as your laptop without you noticing.

Why aluminium makes a difference here

SSD controllers heat up during sustained writing, and heat is exactly what reduces performance. An aluminium enclosure dissipates that heat to the outside, allowing the drive to maintain its speed for longer than a comparable drive in a plastic casing. The silicone edge around it absorbs the knocks that are inevitable when you take a drive in and out of a bag every day. Because it has no moving parts, the drive makes no noise, and a fall cannot cause a read/write head to land on the disk. For large project files, photo archives and backups, that is the difference between waiting and getting on with your work.
