Know before you buy
No, this drive is specifically designed for Thunderbolt 3 connectivity. It is not backward compatible with USB-A or standard USB-C ports that do not support the Thunderbolt 3 protocol.
This rating indicates that you can write the full 3.84TB capacity of the drive every single day for the duration of its warranty period without compromising its reliability. It is designed to handle the heavy, constant data overwriting typical of professional video editing and rendering.
One port connects the drive to your computer, while the second port allows you to connect up to five additional Thunderbolt devices, such as monitors or other storage arrays, in a single chain. This helps keep your desk organized by reducing the number of cables plugged directly into your workstation.
While it is built with a durable aluminum enclosure, it is classified as a desktop drive and requires an external power source. It is portable enough to move between studio locations, but it is not designed to be powered solely by your laptop's battery.
The 2800MB/s speed is the maximum sustained transfer rate under optimal conditions. While your actual performance may vary depending on your computer's hardware, file sizes, and connection overhead, it is engineered specifically to handle the high bandwidth requirements of multi-stream 8K footage.
