Why USB4 Matters
USB4 marks a significant leap in performance, delivering transfer speeds of up to 40Gbps, twice as fast as USB 3.2 Gen 2. Built for speed and efficiency, it enables ultra-fast file and video transfers, making the Integral USB4 External SSD perfect for high performance, on-the-go workflows.
USB4 also offers enhanced data and video management: it can dynamically allocate bandwidth between video output and data transfers. This means you can run multiple high resolution displays and transfer large files simultaneously without slowdown.
The USB4 standard is backward compatible with USB 3.2, USB 2.0 and Thunderbolt 3 devices, meaning it works seamlessly with your existing hardware. However, to get full 40Gbps speeds and Thunderbolt 3 compatibility, both your computer and peripherals need to support these features.
Where We Are Today
USB4 ports began appearing on laptops with Intel’s 11th Gen “Tiger Lake” CPUs and Apple’s M1 Macs in late 2020, with adoption growing rapidly. While not all USB4 devices support the top 40Gbps speed yet, Integral’s USB 4.0 Portable SSD includes a 40Gbps cable to ensure maximum performance where supported.
Who Should Consider It?
From social media creators uploading high-res content, to gamers downloading massive libraries, to professionals handling large multimedia files, Integral’s NextGen 4.0 External SSD delivers the speed and capacity needed to keep your data safe and accessible wherever life takes you.
