Key Specifications

Accelerated Workflow with USB 3.2 Gen 2

The SE880 utilises the USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, capable of 20Gb/s transmission. This allows the drive to reach sustained read/write speeds of 2000 MB/s. In practice, you can edit A/V content directly from the drive without the lag associated with traditional external HDDs. Because of this speed, your workflow remains uninterrupted when handling large project files.

Pocket-Sized Portability

Weighing just 31 g and measuring 35 x 64.8 x 12.2 mm, this SSD is designed for true mobility. The compact chassis fits easily into a pocket or small bag. Consequently, it is an ideal companion for laptop users who require extra storage without adding bulk. The blue aluminium casing also offers a distinct look while maintaining durability.

Expanding iPhone 15 Storage

The SE880 features a native USB Type-C connection, making it compatible with the iPhone 15 series. This allows you to offload 4K footage and large photo libraries directly from your smartphone. You can back up files quickly without relying on cloud connectivity or network speeds. However, you should verify that your iOS version supports external drive functionality for specific file management tasks.

Cross-Platform Compatibility

This drive offers hassle-free connectivity across major operating systems. It supports Windows (10, 11, 8, 8.1), macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Because it uses a standard USB-C port, you can switch between a MacBook and a Windows laptop seamlessly. No reformatting is typically required for basic file transfer, though specific file system limits may apply depending on your usage.

Console-Ready Gaming Storage

The 4 TB capacity provides ample space for a modern game library. The SE880 is compatible with consoles that support external USB storage. This lets you store and launch titles directly from the drive. Because of the high read speeds, load times are significantly reduced compared to standard external HDDs.
