Creative Workflows and Mobile Pros

This drive suits creators recording Apple ProRes video directly from iPhone 15 Pro models and professionals moving large media files between laptops, tablets and phones. Plug-and-play operation requires no driver installation. Buyers who need capacities beyond 1TB or who require sustained internal-drive performance for heavy scratch-disk workloads should consider other solutions.

USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Bandwidth

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface enabling up to 2000 MBps reads. On Apple devices the connection is limited to 10Gb/s, so actual throughput will be lower. Verify your host port supports this standard to achieve the advertised rates.
