This External SSD Has 16TB of Storage Space and Costs Nearly $3,000
Jun. 26, 2021Althoughhard disk drives (HDDs)have been popular in the computer storage industry for a really long time, solid-state drives (SSDs) are gradually nabbing a bigger pie of the market share. Now, amidstreports of a shortage of internal SSDsin the market, American storage solution manufacturer Sabrent has released a humongous 16TB external SSD.
Rocket XTRM-Q 16TB External SSD
Dubbed the Rocket XTRM-Q, this external SSD comes withtwo individual 8TB NVMe SSDshoused inside a casing. By the looks of it, the external SSD component is pretty compact, considering the amount of storage space it offers.
The SSD has dimensions measuring 4.5 x 2.5 x 0.6 inches and is made of aluminum for sturdiness. Moreover, as SSDs usually generate more heat than HDDs, thealuminum casing enables better heat dissipation. Plus, there is also a rubbery case on top for further protection from drops and everyday use.
Now, coming to the technicalities, the Rocket XTRM-Q can run the two 8TB NVMe SSDs inside individually or as a whole in RAID 0 mode. While in RAID 0 mode, the drive will deliver speeds up to 2800 Mbps. To support such high-speed data transfer, the device comes withsupport for Intel Thunderbolt 3. Users will find a Thunderbolt cable along with a dedicated power adapter and a power cable included in the box.
Speaking of the price of the device, I would recommend you buckle up as it is not a cheap component. The Rocket XTRM-Q comes with a massive price tag of $2,899 (~Rs 2,15,139), which is pretty steep for an SSD. It is currently available to buy fromAmazon’s US website.
