Mercury Portable SSD 500GB

The Titanium Micro Mercury is a pocket-sized external solid-state drive offering 500GB of NVMe storage. It connects via a fixed USB 3.2 Gen 2 cable with an included USB Type-A adapter. The aluminium and liquid silicone rubber chassis carries an IP66 rating and MIL-STD-810 certification for dust, water and shock resistance up to 1.5 metres. Sequential read and write speeds reach up to 1000 MBps.

Creative professionals needing rugged speed

Photographers, videographers and mobile creators who transfer large 4K files in harsh environments will benefit from the durable IP66 enclosure and 1000 MBps throughput. Buyers who need more than 500GB of capacity or who require internal drive installation should consider other options.

Up to 1000 MBps sequential transfer

The single figure that decides suitability is the maximum sequential read and write speed of 1000 MBps over USB 3.2 Gen 2. If your workflow demands sustained transfers at or near this rate, the Mercury matches the requirement; if you need significantly higher bandwidth, this drive will not suffice.

Questions about this item

What practical speed limit does the USB 3.1 interface impose on this drive?

The USB 3.1 connection caps real-world throughput at the drive's rated 1000 MBps sequential read and write speeds.

What physical clearance is needed for the fixed cable and IP66-rated enclosure?

The drive uses a built-in USB 3.2 Gen 2 cable with a USB-C to USB-A adapter, so only the drive body and adapter width need to fit your port.

How is the drive set up, and what step do users often skip?

Plug the fixed cable into a USB port; the drive appears instantly on Windows, macOS, consoles and Android OTG devices with no driver install required.
