Ultra-slim 10.3 mm profile

At only 10.3 mm thick, this drive is designed for portability without sacrificing capacity. It slips into pockets or slim bags with minimal bulk. This form factor helps protect the drive by reducing movement inside a bag.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface

The USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) interface provides straightforward data transfer for external HDD storage. Because it is bus powered via USB, you do not need a separate power adapter. In practice, this simplifies setup at a desk or on the road.

Shock sensors for data protection

ADATA’s proprietary shock sensors stop drive activity when a physical shock is detected. This helps reduce the risk of errors and bad sectors compared to drives without such protection. Once the shock passes, activity resumes, and a clear status indicator keeps you informed.

Plug and Play convenience

The drive supports Plug and Play operation across compatible systems. It works with Windows, macOS, and Linux without requiring complex configuration. So, you can connect and begin transferring files quickly.

Stylish design in white

The white finish and textured frame offer a professional look. The glossy front cover adds a refined touch that suits modern workspaces. This design pairs with the drive’s slim profile for a cohesive aesthetic.
