MAIWO M1 512GB Pink portable SSD

The MAIWO M1 is a 512GB external solid-state drive in a pink aluminium enclosure. It connects via USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and delivers up to 1050 MB/s sequential throughput. The drive works with iPhone 15 Pro and later for 4K ProRes recording and is compatible with Windows, macOS, Android, Linux, iOS and HarmonyOS. It also supports Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 hosts.

Ideal for mobile creators and console gamers

The 10 Gbps bandwidth suits music creators and gamers who need fast transfers on the move. The 512GB capacity covers everyday project files and game libraries. Buyers who need more storage should consider larger capacities. Users without a USB-C or Thunderbolt port cannot reach the advertised speed.

10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C interface

The single specification that decides fit is the 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C connection. Your host must provide a USB-C port supporting 10 Gbps or a Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 port to achieve the rated 1050 MB/s. Slower USB-A ports will limit performance well below the quoted figure.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 256GB, 512GB, 1TB or 2TB version?

The 512GB model shown here sits between the smaller 256GB and the larger 1TB and 2TB options; choose the capacity that matches the amount of footage or games you need to carry.

What does the 1050MB/s figure mean when I plug it into my laptop?

That is the peak sequential read speed the drive can reach over its 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 link; real-world transfers will be lower depending on file size, host controller and thermal limits.

Which USB standard does the Type-C port use and what throughput does it cap at?

The port runs USB 3.2 Gen 2 at 10Gbps and is also compatible with Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 and USB 4.0 hosts, though the drive itself remains limited to its 10Gbps native interface.
