It’s fascinating to see how far portable storage has come. CORSAIR’s newest external SSD, the EX400U, pushes the boundaries with its USB4 technology, delivering remarkable speeds that would have seemed impossible just a few years ago. Having tested numerous portable SSDs myself, these speeds are truly impressive – we’re talking about 4,000MB/sec read and 3,600MB/sec write speeds, which means you could transfer a 4K movie in mere seconds.
Whether you’re using a PC, Mac, or the latest iPhone 16, this drive works seamlessly across platforms. The MagSafe compatibility is particularly clever, making it a perfect companion for content creators who need extra storage for their iPhone footage or photos.
Speaking of size, this drive is remarkably compact. At just 64mm square, it’s smaller than a credit card and easily slips into your pocket. But don’t let its size fool you – this little powerhouse packs serious performance capabilities.
The included CORSAIR SSD Toolbox software lets you manage your drive effectively, from performing secure erases to updating firmware.
For compatibility, the EX400U works with USB 3.x Type-C and Thunderbolt 4 connections, ensuring you’re covered regardless of your setup. The single cable design for both power and data transfer is particularly convenient – no extra power adapters needed.
CORSAIR backs the EX400U with a three-year warranty, which provides good peace of mind when investing in external storage. While pricing details aren’t specified (as these often vary by region and capacity), you can check current prices on CORSAIR’s website or through their authorised retailers.
For content creators, video editors, or anyone who needs fast, portable storage, CORSAIR EX400U seems to tick all the right boxes. The combination of USB4 speeds, broad compatibility, and pocket-sized portability makes it a compelling option in the external SSD market.
