To ensure maximum compatibility, the drive features a USB Type-C connector and one end, and a Type-A plug at the other, making it backward compatible with older computers. Each plug is protected by its own port cover, neatly integrated into the drive’s sleek metal housing.Connect via USB-C and the drive can operate at USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 speed, resulting in a maximum 2000MB/s read speed and 1800MB/s write speed (1300MB/s for the 512GB model). Switch over to the USB-A connector and the drive uses a USB 3.2 interface for a peak 1000MB/s read rate and 900MB/s max write speed.
