iodyne has announced the Pro Mini SSD, a portable, bus-powered storage solution designed for professionals. The Pro Mini features a durable machined aluminum chassis with Frore AirJet membrane vibration cooling to eliminate thermal throttling and ensure the SSD delivers consistent performance even under heavy data loads.
Iodyne claims the device achieves sustained performance of over 3Gb/s, making it ideal for tasks like video editing, media offloading, and data transfers. The Pro Mini offers rock-solid security via XTS-AES-256 encryption and RAID-6 data protection, ensuring data is protected even in the event of hardware failure. Passkeys replace traditional passwords, allowing users to securely unlock the device with their phone or computer. It also offers NFC tap-to-unlock functionality.
The SSD features a customizable digital label that displays project names or other relevant information on the 2.1-inch e-ink display. The multi-container function allows users to divide the SSD into separate partitions, each with its own file system.
Available in 4 and 8 TB capacities
The Pro Mini comes with USB 4 and Thunderbolt (40Gbps) ports, allowing you to connect a wide range of devices including phones, tablets, cameras and computers. Additionally, Find My tracking helps users locate lost or misplaced devices, while Fleet Management via the iodyne app allows for remote provisioning and management of multiple drives.
Mike Shapiro, Co-President iodyne said: “There is so much powerful performance and revolutionary engineering packed into the Pro Mini. Every single feature was carefully designed with the specific needs of production professionals in mind – innovative breakthroughs thanks to our collaboration with Frore Systems to bring solid-state active cooling to portable SSDs.”
Pro Mini is available in 4TB and 8TB capacities, ideal for those who need to store large amounts of data, such as 4K video footage. It is available for pre-order now and is expected to ship in the first quarter of 2025.
