Portable Ssd

Before Elgato started working on what became the most advanced TV and video solutions for the Mac, we were part of the revolution of innovative storage technology. The vast majority of FireWire drives contained Elgato software, and even early flash-based products were powered by Elgato.Over a decade later, we were thrilled when Thunderbolt was introduced. So we decided to go back to our roots and create what we have always been longing for: a truly portable, ultra-fast external drive.The Elgato Thunderbolt™ SSD is still the fastest single-drive storage solution for your Mac. Using a Solid State Drive (SSD), it dramatically outperforms state-of-the-art portable FireWire or USB drives – including portable drives with USB 3. And with the included Elgato Thunderbolt™ Cable and new, affordable pricing, there’s no reason to constrain yourself to slow transfer speeds any longer.While you’re on the go, less is more. That’s why the Elgato Thunderbolt™ SSD is engineered to draw power directly through the Thunderbolt port, without needing a separate power supply. This way, your data is always there with you, even when you’re not near a power source.
