ADATA Launches Industry First USB4 SE920 External SSD
Consumer demand for transferring large high-quality files has increased significantly due to trends in AI computing. In compliance with EU regulations, USB4 is set to become the transmission standard for a new generation of devices. Quick and convenient file transfer between various devices has undoubtedly focused consumers' attention and the time for a new generation USB4 interface to unify market specifications has arrived. ADATA, the world's leading memory brand, has launched its first USB4 SE920 external SSD, which supports Thunderbolt 3 & 4 and is backward compatible with USB 3.2 and USB 2.0. Performance can reach up to 3,800 MB/s per second. In addition, it is equipped with a mainstream Type-C interface, making it easy to transfer large multimedia files across devices or quickly export videos shot on mobile phones. The SE920 external SSD features a patented spring-loaded chassis and built-in fan to provide consumers with the ultimate in high-speed performance.
Push and extend the casing for proprietary patented active heat dissipation
USB4 supports transmission speeds up to 40Gbps but high speeds inevitably generate high temperatures which can became a problematic issue for users. The SE920 USB4 external SSD adopts a proprietary patented active dissipation design and a built-in micro fan. Push on the telescoping casing to activate the fan and extends the chassis to increase interior space for air circulation and quickly discharge heat. Compared with fanless products with the same specifications, this patented mechanism can significantly reduce temperatures by 10% and maintain stable data transmission. Press the casing again to retract the chassis. When retracted, the SE920 is lightweight and easy to carry. This unique and ingenious design makesthe SE920 USB4 external SSD an amazing addition to anyone’s everyday carry kit.
