- Is it fast enough to edit video directly from the drive?
- Yes for most 4K footage. It reads near 1050 MB/s on a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, which handles typical editing workloads. Very high-bitrate 8K or multicam projects are better on an internal drive.
- Does it work with a phone or tablet?
- Yes. It connects over USB-C to Android phones, iPads and many newer iPhones, and files can be moved with the built-in file apps. Formatting may be needed for some devices.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. It is rated for dust and drops, not water immersion. Keep it dry and use a case in wet conditions.
- What is in the box?
- The drive, a USB-C cable and a USB-A cable. No power adapter is needed because it draws power from the port.
- How does it compare with a portable hard drive?
- It is much faster and far more resistant to shocks because there are no moving parts. A hard drive still offers more capacity for the same outlay at the very top end.
- Can I use it with both Windows and Mac?
- Yes, but pick the format first. exFAT works on both; APFS or NTFS lock you to one platform without extra software.
