However, its not cheap, lacks an 8TB model and its cooling mechanism is passive.
Surely a candidate for ourBest portable SSDs?
But it’s still small enough to fit in a jacket pocket or for accessories on a laptop bag.
Nextorage has three models with 1TB, 2TB and 4TB of capacity.
For American customers, these are priced at $249.99, $349.99 and $599.99.
It costs only $129.99, and it can be used with any M.2 NVMe storage you have handy.
Cost is the biggest issue with this product.
It is a bit disconcerting that the outer case is entirely made of plastic, probably a reinforced variety.
Despite all of these durability ticks, the maker only provides a single year of warranty.
A well-positioned activity LED on one edge provides feedback that the drive is powered and working.
It might be worth reading before committing to an order.
Without this set, the write performance of the drive can crash to 300MB/s, disturbingly.

Faster than the OWC Envoy Pro FX and any other USB-connected devices I’ve tested.

It will work with USB 3.2, but only at much slower speeds.
To get what you paid for requires a USB 4.0 compatible port.

But it cant match the Nextorage NX-PS1PRO on raw speed.
While it does use plastic construction, it has an IP55 rating and should travel well enough.
Costing less than $100 for the 1TB model, it delivers sustained performance and hardware encryption.
