Nextorage Corporation (CEO: Katsuyuki Honda, located in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture) will begin taking orders for the USB 40Gbps portable SSD “NX-PS1PRO Series” on B&H starting November 13th, 2024.
The NX-PS1PRO Series is a portable SSD featuring a USB 40Gbps (USB4®) interface. It combines best-in-class speed and stability, which drastically improves workflow efficiency.[1][2]
Revolutionary USB 40Gbps Interface for High-Capacity Data Transfers
By adopting the USB 40Gbps interface (maximum transfer speed: 5,000 MB/s), the NX-PS1PRO achieves a maximum sequential read speed of 3,900 MB/s and a maximum sequential write speed of 3,800 MB/s.
This significantly shortens transfer times for large data files, streamlining workflows for professionals who need to back up large amounts of data on the go or transport high-bitrate videos.
■NX-PS1PRO vs. USB 10Gbps SSD File Copy Speed Comparison
When compared to standard USB 10Gbps portable SSDs, the NX-PS1PRO writes data up to five times faster.
Test conditions:
・Tested with a 2 TB SSD.
・Multiple files over 100 GB were copied, measuring the time taken to fill the drive.
Efficient Heat Management for Stable High-Speed Transfers
To support the high-speed performance of the latest standards, the internal cooling performance of the device has been enhanced. With a specially designed fanless heatsink and a body optimized for heat dissipation, the NX-PS1PRO effectively cools the system. Unlike typical USB enclosures, its structure is tailored to the internal SSD, minimizing thermal throttling* and enabling fast, stable data transfers. Even compared to other USB 40Gbps or ThunderBolt3 SSDs, the NX-PS1PRO offers faster writing speeds for the entire drive, improving workflow efficiency.
*Thermal throttling: A control function that reduces transfer speed to prevent overheating.
■NX-PS1PRO Exploded View
The SSD, IC, and PCBA circuit board are each cooled with dedicated heatsinks, enhancing heat dissipation.
■NX-PS1PRO vs. Competing Products (USB 40Gbps SSD, ThunderBolt3 SSD) File Copy Speed Comparison
Test conditions:
・Tested with a 2 TB SSD.
・Multiple files over 100 GB were copied, measuring the time taken to fill the drive.
