MAIWO M3 Magnetic Portable SSD 1TB Silver

The MAIWO M3 is a new external solid-state drive with 1TB capacity and a silver aluminium casing. It connects via USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and delivers sequential speeds up to 2000MB/s. An integrated magnetic system and supplied metal rings allow the drive to snap onto compatible surfaces or hang from the built-in loop.

Who this suits, who should look elsewhere

Creative professionals and mobile users who need pocket-sized, driver-free storage for 4K ProRes video capture on iPhone, MacBook, PS5, Windows, Android or Linux will benefit from the 2000MB/s throughput and sub-55g weight. Buyers who require more storage capacity, a ruggedised IP-rated enclosure or an internal M.2 form factor should consider other options.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C interface

The single specification that determines compatibility is the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C connection, which provides the 2000MB/s read/write ceiling. Host devices must support this interface to reach the advertised performance; older USB ports will operate at lower speeds. No additional drivers are required for supported operating systems.

Questions about this item

Will the 2000 MB/s speed hold steady during long 4K ProRes recording sessions?

The drive is designed to withstand heat during intensive processing, and the metal casing helps dissipate thermal load so sustained writes stay closer to the rated 2000 MB/s.

How loud or hot does the M3 get when it runs all day attached to a MacBook Pro?

With no moving parts and a fanless aluminium shell, the SSD stays silent; the casing becomes warm to the touch but remains within safe operating limits for continuous use.

My phone only has a USB-A port — what extra cable or adapter do I need to use this drive?

You need a USB-C to USB-A cable or adapter that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2; the drive itself only provides a USB-C connector.
