Prograde Digital Introduces 16TB PG10 USB 4.0 External/portable SSD

ProGrade Digital, Inc. announces the latest addition to its SSD lineup: the 16TB PG10 External SSD.

Building on the success of its USB 4.0 SSD product line, this new capacity joins existing 2, 4, and 8TB models, delivering best-in-class sustained performance in a portable, bus-powered design.

The PG10 External SSD is based on USB 4.0 technology, supporting up to 40Gb/s with real-world RW speeds up to 2,500MB/s, and sustained write speed of 2,000MB/s – with no cache throttling and no thermal throttling. The SSD also includes ProGrade’s patented magnetic base and an adhesive metal plate for secure mounting to work surfaces. A certified high-speed USB 4.0 cable is included to ensure maximum performance out of the box.

“Introducing a 16TB, bus-powered SSD with these speeds is not just a spec milestone – it’s a workflow revolution,” said Mark Lewis, CMO, ProGrade Digital. “We’ve combined massive capacity with best-in-class sustained performance, enabling creators to work faster, more efficiently, and without interruption – whether they’re on set, in the field, or in post.”
