Leveraging the high bandwidth of USB4, this external SSD offers blazing-fast sequential read speeds of up to 4,000MB/sec and sequential write speeds of up to 3,600MB/sec.

Let's hope that these prove reliable - that's been an issue with other SSDs from Sandisk, Western Digital, Samsung, especially shortly after release.
 
Sadly I see nothing about encryption on this drive anywhere.

Yep, it was something I was reading a lot about during the BF sales. A bunch of the faster drives had user reviews of them disappearing and then eventually full-on failing. Not to mention throttling not long after a big transfer started.

I've so far had pretty good luck with these:


Got one in the car for a little over a year now and recent got another that's plugged into our new TV in the living room with concerts and misc. videos. I put some Velcro on the one behind the TV and it's nicely hidden back there.

Can't say I've ever seen the transfer speeds (800 MB/s read/write) ever max out with anything but not the worst. I want to say the fastest I've seen big transfers (10+ GB) go is in the 400-600 MB range but I can't remember right now. Short 2+ GB are blink-and-done though.

Lots and lots of creatives got bit with a Sandisk bug. I think the Samsung T7 (1000MB/s) is the most recommended option.

I looked at those, well the faster version as I was looking for something that did 2000MB/s - eventually went with a Lexar drive instead though, since it's going to be more of a travel photography backup / transfer drive.

I am looking forward to the 4000MB/s (USB4) drives stabilizing though.
