Over the years we have seen a number of impressively small SSDs, and some, like the Buffalo 1TB SSD, More similar to oversized flash drives than traditional storage devices.
The Portable SSD Nano, released by Asahi Electronics under the Suneast brand, is a USB-C external SSD that weighs only 2.8 grams and only measures 10.6 x 20 x 13.5 mm.
There is a lot of buzz around the size and portability of this device, but that small form factor is not all upside down. It is smaller than a coin, can be easily mistaken for a candy, and his toy-like appearance and spring-light build wrinkled about how easily it can be misplaced, or worse, accidentally taken. For that reason it is best kept out of reach of children.
No replacement for the largest SSDs yet
Despite its small size, the drive up to 512 GB Solid-State storage, with advertised reading speeds up to 450 MB/s and writing speeds of up to 400 MB/s.
While those figures are not under the Fastest external SSDS In terms of unprocessed performance, they are more than sufficient for daily tasks such as document transfers, photoback -ups or taking a library with media files.
When inserted in a laptop or mobile device, only 10.6 mm remains visible, which means that it is almost the same with the host device, a discreet and handy design.
The disk uses a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C interface and is made in advance in Exfat, which guarantees plug-and-play compatibility on a wide range of devices.
Supported platforms include Windows PCs, macOS, Linux, Android 14 and Higher, and iPhones and iPads with USB-C with the latest iOS and iPados versions.
