Capacity and audience

The AGI ED138 is a 2TB portable solid-state drive built for users who need large-capacity storage that fits in a pocket. It uses 3D NAND flash and connects through a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C interface with both Type-C and Type-A cables included. The drive works immediately with Windows, macOS and Android devices without any driver installation.

Sustained transfer behaviour

Sequential reads reach up to 550 MBps and writes up to 500 MBps, letting you move multi-gigabyte files in a fraction of the time a mechanical drive would need. The USB 3.2 Gen 2 link runs at 10 Gbps, so the controller can keep the NAND fed during long copy operations instead of throttling after a short burst. Plug-and-play operation means no background software consumes bandwidth while you work.

Thermals, noise and power

An aluminium enclosure acts as a passive heatsink, keeping the drive within its 0 °C to 70 °C operating range during typical workloads. With no moving parts the unit runs silently, and its 41 g mass adds negligible load to a laptop port. The compact 66 mm by 39 mm by 8.6 mm form factor slips into a sleeve or pocket without blocking adjacent ports.

Questions about this item

How hot does the ED138 get when I leave it copying files all day?

It is rated to operate between 0 °C and 70 °C, so sustained workloads stay within that range.

Which ports and cables do I need on my laptop for the ED138 to work?

The box includes both a USB Type-C to Type-C and a Type-C to Type-A cable, so any USB 3.2 Gen 2 or earlier port will work.

Will the ED138 slow down when I plug it into my older USB 3.0 hub?

It will fall back to the hub’s maximum speed, but the drive itself is capable of 550 MB/s read and 500 MB/s write on a 10 Gbps link.
