With 8TB of SSD storage, there is room for substantial project files, archives and backups. Read speeds reach 448MB/s, while write speeds reach 444MB/s. Actual transfer times depend on the connected device and files.
USB Type-A and Type-C cables are included. The drive supports Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, so you can connect it to a range of compatible devices.
