Japanese tech company Suneast has unveiled the world’s smallest SSD, a minuscule storage device packing a surprising punch. Released on May 9th, this USB 3.2 drive, smaller than an inch in every dimension, resembles a dongle more than a traditional SSD, yet offers up to 512GB of storage.
Compact Design, Impressive Performance
According to Suneast’s product page, this compact SSD boasts impressive read and write speeds of 450 MB/s and 400 MB/s, respectively. Weighing a mere 2.8 grams (less than 0.1 ounces), its dimensions are just 10.6 × 20 × 13.5 mm (0.4 x 0.8 x 0.5 inches). This makes it an incredibly discreet addition to a smartphone or laptop.
Seamless Smartphone Storage Solution
Designed primarily for smartphones using the ubiquitous USB Type-C connector, this tiny SSD facilitates easy transfer of large files like videos between phones and laptops. This feature is particularly beneficial for video editors and other creatives who require quick access to their files while on the move, eliminating the need for extra cables or slow cloud-based transfers.
Broad Compatibility and Simple Setup
Suneast confirms compatibility with Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS operating systems. However, they recommend initial setup on a PC or Mac for optimal compatibility. The device is available in three storage capacities: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB.
Riding the Wave of Portable SSDs
This miniature SSD joins a growing trend of phone-focused portable storage solutions, particularly popular among video creators. While pricing and international availability are yet to be announced, the demand for such convenient and compact storage devices suggests this tiny powerhouse has the potential for significant market appeal.
A Game-Changer for Mobile Content Creators
This miniature SSD from Suneast addresses the increasing need for readily accessible storage for mobile content creators. Its compact size, combined with high transfer speeds and broad compatibility, positions it as a valuable tool for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
