- Available in massive 8TB and 16TB capacities, T-CREATE EXPERT P32 is designed for creators

From ultra-high-resolution videos to extensive photo libraries and complex project files, the sheer amount of data content creators generate can quickly overwhelm smaller drives.
For professionals, the need for fast, reliable, high-capacity storage can be critical. To meet this need, T-CREATE, the maker-focused brand from memory supplier Team Group, has announced its launch EXPERT P32 Desktop external SSD.
The 16TB model is available in 8TB and 16TB sizes and features two 8TB SSDs instead of a single large drive, although the total capacity is still the largest available for an external SSD.
Transfer speeds up to 1,800 MB/s
If you’re wondering how much data a drive of that size can hold, T-CREATE says the 16TB storage is enough for up to 672 minutes (almost 10.5 hours) of uncompressed 4K 120fps N-RAW video, or 335,544 photos in RAW format at 50MB each.
The device is made of aluminum alloy using 4-axis CNC cutting and has a durable unibody design. Functional rather than luxurious in design, it promises transfer speeds of up to 1,800 MB/s (or up to 1,700 MB/s for the 8TB model).
It uses a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C interface, ensuring compatibility with USB Type-C and Thunderbolt devices. A patented graphene heat dissipation pad is included to maintain cooling performance during heavy use. The SSD operates at temperatures between 5˚C and 55˚C and supports storage temperatures from -20˚C to 50˚C.
The EXPERT P32 weighs 261 grams and measures 110 x 65 x 26 mm, so it is easily portable. The package includes a USB Type-C to Type-C cable, a DC power cable and international plug adapters for worldwide use. It is formatted with exFAT for compatibility with Windows, macOS and Linux. The SSD comes with a three-year warranty and provides reliable support for makers. The launch is expected to take place globally in the fourth quarter of 2024, although pricing details have yet to be announced.
