The device’s black exterior is not only stylish but also functional, providing a matte finish that resists fingerprints and scratches. Its slim profile—just 9 mm deep—means it can slide into most laptop sleeves without adding bulk. The robust construction uses high‑grade materials to withstand everyday wear and tear.
Connectivity & Packaging
The SSD connects via a single USB Type‑A female port, ensuring compatibility with the majority of desktops, laptops, and docking stations that feature standard USB 3.0 ports. The included cable is also USB Type‑A, allowing for straightforward plug‑and‑play operation.
Upon unboxing, you will find:
- 1 x SSD drive
- 1 x USB 3.0 cable
- 1 x Quick Start Guide
The packaging is a simple, sturdy box measuring 119 mm in width, 132 mm in height, and 21 mm in depth, ensuring safe transport of the delicate internal components.

This SSD is fully compatible with a wide range of operating systems:
- Windows: XP Home/Pro (32‑bit & 64‑bit), Vista, 7, 8.1, and 10.
- macOS: Supported on all recent macOS releases that include USB 3.0 support.
Because it uses standard USB protocols, no additional drivers are required for most modern operating systems, simplifying setup and reducing potential compatibility issues.
