Overview
A camera bag, a laptop sleeve or a console shelf all suit this pocket drive from Crucial, which connects over USB-C and needs no extra software. Its aluminum shell is sealed against water and dust and rated to survive drops.
Speed for working straight off the drive is the reason to carry it, since video editors and photographers can edit large files without copying them first. Those top transfer rates only appear on a host port that supports the drive's full interface speed, so older laptop ports will hold it back.
Who it's for
Creators shooting on location and gamers expanding console storage get quick, weather-resistant storage that travels light. Those whose computers lack a fast USB-C port will not see the rated speeds.
Pros and cons
- Very fast read and write speeds
- Water and dust resistant shell
- Drop-rated rugged build
- Light enough for a camera bag
- Full speed needs a matching fast host port
- No hardware encryption listed
- Modest capacity for large video archives
Performance notes
Real transfer speed is set by the slowest link: the host port, the cable and the file mix. Large sequential video files reach the rated figures far more easily than thousands of small photos, which add per-file overhead. Long copies also depend on how well the aluminum shell sheds heat.
