Know before you buy
To reach the maximum 2,000MBps speed, your computer or device must support the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 standard. If your device uses an older USB version, the drive will still work, but your transfer speeds will be limited by the capability of that specific port.
Yes, the package includes both a USB-C to C cable for modern ports and a USB-C to A cable, which allows you to connect the drive to older computers that lack a USB-C port.
The drive is built for field work, featuring an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance and protection against drops from up to three meters. While it is highly durable, it is not waterproof, so it should not be submerged in water.
Yes, the drive is compatible with both macOS and Windows. You may need to reformat the drive depending on your specific operating system requirements, but it functions seamlessly across both platforms.
The carabiner loop allows you to securely clip the drive to your camera bag, backpack, or belt loop. This is particularly useful for creators who need to keep their storage accessible while moving between shooting locations.
The 5-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. It provides peace of mind for professionals who rely on the drive for long-term storage and frequent daily use.
