GigaSSD claims that the drive can hit sustained speeds of 2,800 MBps read and 2,500 MBps write, which would make it one of, if not the fastest external drive out there. It would have stiff competition from the likes of the Samsung X5, which is rated for read/write speeds of 2,800/2,300 MBps respectively, as well as the G-Tech Mobile Pro and Plugable Thunderbolt 3 NVMe SSD.
The GigaDrive is an NVMe External SSD available (for pre-order) in capacities including 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB.
It measures 4.5 x 1.5 x 0.5-inches, weighs 2.6 ounces, and features an aluminum casing which acts as both heatsink and protective shell.
As per the claim, Gigadrive is compatible with Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android and Linux, and features an IP67 rating, making it dust proof and protected against water immersion up to a meter for up to half an hour.
The manufacturer has tested GigaDrive in extreme conditions such as water,dust,and even drops from 10 feet, so you can safely do so too! Whatever happens, your memories and data are fully safe and intact.
You can backup all your data from laptops, PCs, mobile phones, cameras, and drones in a matter of seconds. No need to install additional software, or use non-privacy-friendly clouds.
GigaDrive is anti-overheat protected. When transferring large amounts of data, both internal and external SSDs overheat. The heat build-up can slow down overall performance, throttle transfer speeds, and even damage your device. But no worries if you have GigaDrive as it is anti-overheat protected.
