Sonnet Ships Fusion Thunderbolt 3 PCIe Portable SSD

Sonnet Technologies, Inc. announced that the 1TB version of its Fusion Thunderbolt 3 PCIe flash drive is shipping.

A rugged, pocket-size SSD storage device with a Thunderbolt 3 interface, the Mac- and Windows-compatible drive is equipped with 1TB of NVMe flash storage and leverages the 40Gb/s bandwidth of Thunderbolt 3 to deliver data transfer speeds up to 2,600MB/s.

The drive was designed for pro users requiring performance in a portable storage device, unencumbered by the need for an AC power adapter. It connects to compatible Mac or Windows computers, or at the end of a Thunderbolt 3 device daisy chain, with its 0.5-meter Thunderbolt 3 (40Gb/s) cable. Based on the PCIe Gen 3 flash memory technology, the Fusion Thunderbolt 3 PCIe is more than five times faster than 6Gb/s SATA SSDs and USB 3 SSD drives.

Measuring 2.8 inches wide by 4.1 inches deep by 1.25 inches tall, the Fusion Thunderbolt 3 PCIe features a rugged enclosure crafted out of aluminum, which cools the SSD and eliminates the need for a fan, enabling silent operation.

With 1TB capacity (part number FUS-TB3-1TB) is available at an MSRP of $999.
