Key Features

Blazing USB4 Performance

The EX40 uses the latest USB4 Type-C connectivity (40Gb) to deliver read and write speeds up to 4,000 MB/s. This makes it ideal for demanding tasks such as:

• 8K and 12K video workflows

• Large RAW photo libraries

• Multicam video editing

• High-speed media backups

The drive is designed for sustained performance, meaning it can maintain high speeds even during large transfers or long editing sessions.

Advanced Cooling for Consistent Speed

A solid aluminium core and outer shell help dissipate heat efficiently. This improved thermal design allows the drive to maintain fast speeds for longer periods without throttling, ensuring reliable performance during heavy workloads.
