It is sold as an Amazon Japan exclusive with an eco-friendly packaging. The drive is designed to withstand water and dust (IP55 rating), making it ideal for on-the-go use.

Key Features

  • Read speeds up to 1050MB/s — USB 3.2 Gen 2 enables fast file transfers for large projects.
  • 2TB capacity — Ample space for photos, videos, and game libraries.
  • IP55 water and dust resistance — Suitable for outdoor or dusty environments.
  • 5-year warranty — Peace of mind for long-term use.
  • Compact design with carabiner loop — Easy to attach to bags or belts.

Compatibility Guide

  • Connects via USB Type-C; includes dual USB-C to C/A cable.
  • Use a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port for maximum speeds. Works with USB 3.0 (5Gbps) at reduced speed (~500MB/s).
  • Compatible out of the box with Windows, macOS, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One (formatted as exFAT).
  • May not be recognized by car USB ports or some TV USB ports. Please test before purchase.

Ideal Use Cases

  • Creators who edit video or process RAW photos on location — fast transfers reduce wait time.
  • Gamers who want extra storage for PS5/PS4 or Xbox — easily expand game capacity.
  • Laptop users needing quick extra space — plug and play, no drivers required.

Upgrade Considerations

  • This is an external drive; it is not designed to replace an internal boot drive, though it can be used for that purpose.
  • Write speed is slightly lower than read speed (approx. 1000MB/s). For heavy write workloads, check benchmarks first.
  • Connecting to a USB 2.0 port will severely limit performance. Use USB 3.0 or higher for best results.
