Our take on the Titanium Micro Mercury 1TB Portable SSD

The Titanium Micro Mercury is a 1TB external SSD that connects over USB-C and is rated for up to 1,000 MB/s sequential reads. That puts it in the same class as mainstream USB 3.2 Gen 2 drives like the Samsung T7 and SanDisk Extreme, and well ahead of older SATA-based portables capped around 500 MB/s. It suits people moving large video, photo or project files between machines, and it works with USB-C laptops, iPads and newer consoles. Buyers should note the rated figure is read speed only, and sustained writes on a drive this size tend to drop once the cache fills.

Questions and answers

Is the Mercury fast enough for 4K video editing?
Yes for editing off the drive, since 1,000 MB/s reads comfortably exceed 4K footage bitrates. Sustained writes are the weak point, so copying very large projects may slow once the cache fills.
Does it work with a Mac or iPad?
It connects over USB-C, so it works with USB-C Macs and iPads. You will likely need to reformat it to APFS or exFAT before writing Mac files.
How does it compare with the Samsung T7?
Both are USB-C drives rated around 1,000 MB/s reads. The T7 adds hardware encryption and a longer track record; the Mercury competes on capacity for the money.
Does it need an external power supply?
No. It draws power over the USB-C cable, so one cable handles both data and power.
What comes in the box?
Expect the drive and a USB-C cable. Check the listing for whether a USB-A adapter or pouch is included.
Can I use it with a PlayStation or Xbox?
Yes for storing and playing games on consoles that accept USB external drives. Formatting requirements differ by console, so check before you buy.
