Portable 512 GB external SSD

The Patriot Transporter Lite is a 512 GB external solid-state drive that connects through USB 3.2 Gen 2. Sequential read and write speeds each reach up to 1000 MB/s. It is suited for users who need fast, compact storage for large files and backups.

USB-C with dual Type-A and Type-C cable

The drive ships with a Type-C to dual connector cable that fits both USB Type-A and Type-C ports. No separate power adapter is required because the drive draws power from the host port. Backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 allows it to work on older systems, though at reduced speeds.

Broad OS support and rugged aluminium housing

Windows 7 through 11, Mac OS 10.3 and later, and Linux are supported without extra drivers. The aluminium casing dissipates heat and resists vibration. Operating temperature range is 0 to 70 °C, while storage range extends from -25 °C to 85 °C. The drive carries a 200 TBW endurance rating.

Questions about this item

Will the 1000MB/s write speed hold up during a long video transfer, or does the drive throttle?

The aluminium housing provides high-efficiency heat dissipation and the drive is rated for 200TB written, so sustained transfers stay within thermal limits.

How loud and hot does the drive get when it runs continuously for hours?

There are no moving parts, so the drive is silent; the aluminium case spreads heat and the operating temperature range is 0 to 70 °C.

My laptop only has USB-A ports — can I still use this SSD without buying another cable?

The box includes a Type-C to dual Type-A plus Type-C cable, so it plugs straight into USB-A or Type-C ports.
