Announcement of the release of the USB 40Gbps portable SSD “NX-PS1PRO Series”
AUGUST 19, 2024 — Nextorage Corporation (CEO: Honda Katsuyuki, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture) will begin accepting orders for the USB 40Gbps portable SSD “NX-PS1PRO Series” on Amazon from Monday, August 19th. The NX-PS1PRO Series is a portable SSD that uses USB 40Gbps (USB4 ) as its interface. It achieves both top-of-class high-speed performance and stability, dramatically improving work efficiency. [1][2]’
Equipped with a USB 40Gbps interface that brings innovation to large-capacity data transfer
By adopting USB 40Gbps (maximum transfer speed: 5,000 MB/s) as the interface, we have achieved a maximum sequential read speed of 3,900 MB/s and a maximum sequential write speed of 3,800 MB/s. [1][2] This portable SSD is also suitable for professional use cases such as backing up large amounts of data on the go and transporting high bitrate videos.
- Comparison of file copy speed between NX-PS1PRO and USB 10Gbps SSD
When compared to a typical USB 10Gbps portable SSD, writing is possible at approximately 5 times the transfer speed.
Unique cooling mechanism suppresses temperature rise during high-speed transfer
The cooling performance inside the main unit has been improved to meet the latest high-speed performance standards. The unit is efficiently cooled by a proprietary fanless heat sink and a case design with excellent heat dissipation. Unlike USB enclosures, the structure is optimized for the internal SSD, allowing for efficient heat processing. This minimizes the occurrence of thermal throttling*, enabling high-speed and stable data transfer. Compared to other products that use USB 40Gbps or ThunderBolt3, the write speed up to full capacity is faster, contributing to improved workflow efficiency. [2]
*Thermal throttling: A control function that attenuates the transfer speed to prevent thermal runaway .
