Double Interface Compatibility for PC & Mac
This drive includes both USB Type-C and Type-A cables, ensuring seamless connectivity with modern laptops and older desktops alike. The reversible Type-C connector allows for easy plug-in from any direction, while Type-A support covers legacy systems. It works straight out of the box on both Windows and Mac OS X without requiring additional drivers.
1,000-Year Data Protection with M-DISC

This makes it perfect for archiving family photos, home videos, or critical business documents that must last for generations.

Bundled with CyberLink Power2Go 8 and Nero BackItUp, this drive offers a complete backup ecosystem. Power2Go 8 simplifies disc burning and includes optional encryption for sensitive files.
