Sabrent has unveiled the Rocket Nano XTRM (SB-XTMN-1TB), a Thunderbolt 3 optimized external SSD that offers 1TB of storage capacity, boasting a maximum transfer speed of 2,700 MB/s.
Measuring a compact 2.7 x 1.1 x 0.5 inches and weighing just 2.2 ounces, the Rocket Nano XTRM's dimensions align with those of a standard bank card. Encased in aluminum, the SSD efficiently dissipates heat, ensuring optimal performance. Its design prioritizes portability, effortlessly fitting into pockets. For enhanced safeguarding, an optional silicon sleeve is provided to protect against potential impacts and environmental conditions.
The Rocket Nano XTRM employs a USB Type-C interface for connectivity. This interface is specifically tailored for Thunderbolt 3-compatible devices, allowing the SSD to achieve its peak transfer speed of 2,700 MB/s. While the Rocket Nano XTRM is meticulously optimized for USB Type-C ports, it offers backward compatibility. When connected to older USB versions such as USB 3.2 Gen2x1, transfer speeds will be confined to approximately 900 MB/s. The package includes two cables: a USB Type-C to USB Type-C and a USB Type-C to USB Type-A, ensuring versatile connectivity. Moreover, the SSD is designed for seamless plug-and-play compatibility with both Windows and macOS systems, requiring no additional drivers or external power sources.
Purchasable through Amazon at $199.99, the 1TB Rocket Nano XTRM also features a promotional price of $169.99 when purchased directly from Sabrent.
