High-capacity desktop expansion

The Avolusion PRO-G1 provides 16TB of storage in a desktop form factor that connects through USB 3.2 Gen 2 at up to 10Gbps. It is aimed at Windows or MacOS users who need large-volume backup or media libraries without opening their computer. After formatting, roughly 14TB remains available for data. The drive spins at 7200RPM and includes a built-in USB hub for attaching extra peripherals.

Sustained transfer behaviour

The 7200RPM mechanism feeds the 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 link, so long sequential reads and writes stay closer to the interface ceiling than on slower-spindle alternatives. Large backup jobs or video offloads therefore keep a steadier throughput over many minutes rather than dropping after an initial burst cache fills. The hub does not share the drive's bandwidth, so attached devices do not slow the main volume.

Thermals, noise and power

An aluminium chassis acts as a heatsink while a fan-less design keeps acoustic output near zero during normal operation. Passive cooling handles the 7200RPM drive's heat without audible airflow, making the unit suitable for quiet rooms. Power is drawn from the included external adapter, so the host USB port only carries data.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the 7200RPM drive get during all-day use?

The aluminium chassis and fan-less design keep the drive running silently and at moderate temperatures even during continuous operation.

Which cables or ports must my computer already have to use the USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-C connection?

A USB-C port supporting USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) is required; the drive is backward compatible with USB 3.0 ports using a suitable cable.

Will the 16TB drive work reliably alongside my older USB 3.0 peripherals on the same hub?

Yes, the built-in USB hub and backward-compatible USB 3.2 interface allow older USB 3.0 devices to operate normally alongside the drive.
