Portable SSD with NFC unlock

The ADATA URBAN TAPSAFE is a 1000 GB external solid-state drive that uses built-in NFC and a smartphone app to lock and unlock data with a tap. It connects via USB 3.2 Gen2 x2 and delivers sequential read and write speeds up to 1900 MB/s. A clip mount and magnetic covers add convenient attachment and visual organisation.

For solo users who want tap security

Creative professionals and commuters who value instant, hardware-free authentication will appreciate the NFC unlock and auto-lock on disconnect. The app supports up to nine authorised members with writable or read-only permissions for controlled collaboration. Buyers who need more storage than 1000 GB or who require a drive without app-dependent locking should consider other options.

1900 MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen2 x2

The single specification that decides fit is the 1900 MB/s maximum transfer rate delivered through the USB 3.2 Gen2 x2 interface. This throughput handles large media transfers and real-time project work efficiently. Verify that the host device supports USB 3.2 Gen2 x2 to achieve the rated performance.
