SPEEDSSD is the 4TB high-speed stick drive with read & write speed of 1050MB/s for creatives.

Story

ULTIMATE HIGH CAPACITY & HIGH SPEED SSD 

SPEEDSSD is the latest high-capacity, high-speed stick drive. Storing up to 4TB with read and write speed of 1050 MB/s. Perfect for creatives – photographers, content creators or simply for everyday folks with lots of precious memories to capture and store safely.

 

 

Design and Technology

Enclosed in state-of-the-art aerospace grade aluminum with a silicone shield, complemented with a built-in cooling fan, the SPEEDSSD is designed to ensure a longer lifetime and durability. The combined effects of the cooling fins inside the case and the cooling fan maintain an optimal operating temperature of below 50°C / 122°F. An added bonus is the external case temperature will remain low and cool to the touch. 

 

 

 

On the inside, the custom-made M.2 solid-state drive is powered by Intel’s 3D TLC NAND flash memory and the PS5012-E12DI microcontroller with 2GB of DRAM. And topped with features like universal compatibility, exchangeable memory, quick backup data, camera mount and dual OS – it’s the ultimate SSD you will ever need.

 

 

1. Uber High Capacity 

Most portable SSD drives in the market can only store up to 2TB, while SPEED SSD offers both 2TB and 4TB capacity – SPEEDSSD is super portable but still with plenty of storage space for your data.

 

2. High & Stable Transfer Speed

 

With 1050MB/s read and write speed, all your data is transferred in lightning speed. 10GB of data only needs 10 seconds to get transferred. For a lot of other portable SSD drives, the high transfer speed can be compromised when it is written over – not for SPEEDSSD though – it remains high speed and stable even with data stored. 

 

 

 3. Portable Size & Lightweight 

SSD drives with high storage capacity can be bulky and heavy to bring around, especially hard for creatives with lots of gear in their backpack. SPEEDSSD comes in a portable stick form that is easy to carry around.  Weighing 49g / 1.75oz, its perfect as an everyday carry item. 

 

 4. Longer Life Time 

With a built-in cooling fan and cooling fins on the SSD shell, these features help dissipate heat and prevent overheating to make sure your precious data is safeguarded while the drive runs at maximum speed. 

 

 

5. Universal Compatibility 

SPEEDSSD is compatible with PCs, MAC™ and Linux. It connects with USB Type C, and is compatible with USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps) and backwards compatible.

 

 

 6. Durable Design 

 

SPEEDSSD is enclosed in an aerospace grade aluminum case to withstand any outside strength and force. Aluminum can also help keep the flash controller cool since it’s a great heat conductor.

 

 

7. Anti-Scratch 

With each SPEEDSSD coming with a silicone shield, it can avoid scratching  the surfaces of your other gadgets. Silicone shield is also great at shock absorption – in case it gets dropped on the concrete floor, your data is still safe in SPEEDSSD.

 

 

8. Magnetic Case with Exchangeable Memory 

When your 2TB or 4TB SPEED SSD memory is used up, you can simply open the aluminum case easily with its magnetic opening and replace it with another M.2 SSD – and voila – another full capacity portable SSD is in hand! We are also making a carrying case as a stretch goal for you to safely store your extra memory with all your data.

 

 

 9. Camera Mount

With our custom-designed camera mount, SPEEDSSD can be directly mounted on Sigma FP and BMPCC 4K/6K. For videographers creating content, this allows them to directly record their videos to SPEEDSSD, saving them lots of time and money.

 

 10. Backup Data 

Backing up your data on the computer can be a headache as it can take way too long. With SPEEDSSD’s high and stable transfer speed, backing up all of your computer data is easily done in a matter of minutes.

 

 

 

 

As you can see from the video, SPEEDSSD is connected to the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6k. We would like to show two things through it – firstly, it shows that SPEEDSSD is compatible with Blackmagic camera and the content can be written directly on the SSD. Secondly, to prove that SPEEDSSD’s fan generates very little noise, we can refer to the “sound level bar” on the bottom right of the Blackmagic camera’s screen. With the microphone attached with the camera, any noise can be detected. At 0:07, a camera cover was dropped on the table and the “sound level bar” immediately went off the chart. Other than that, it stays on the green level, which means the fan doesn’t generate excessive noise at all.

 

 

Dual OS

With our 1050MB/s high transfer speed and fully saturating the USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, having a SPEEDSSD is like having a Windows-to-go, you’ll be running Windows on MAC right from the SPEEDSSD drive, without occupying extra internal storage space on your computer.

 

 

Warranty

A 5-year warranty is provided with each purchase of SPEED SSD’s M.2 SSD Memory* , any physical damages to the enclosure and PCB are eligible for warranty.

*Physical damage to M.2 SSD Memory will not be warranted

 

Risks and challenges

Even as a start-up founded in 2018, we still have our competitive advantage – our founder has worked in one of the largest electronic company in China with over 20 years of experience and our team of product designers have their fair share of experience in the manufacturing industry. These give us an edge in sticking to the deadlines during production and maintain timely delivery in September and October. Our product has a lot of new features, yet the design and innovation have been tested to be achievable and practical in mass production. If any problems arise during the process, we will keep our backers informed with updates on the issues and our solutions.
