This little USB stick is a ridiculously fast external SSD designed with Apple ProRes files in mind, but I’m not at all sure about the design
Adata has introduced a new external SSD that supports USB 3.2 Gen2 (USB 10Gbps) and is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. SC750 provides read/write speeds of up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s and features a built-in Type-C connector, allowing you to connect directly to mobile phones and tablets without the need for a cable.
The SC750 is designed with portability and performance in mind, making it a practical companion for those who often work on the go. It inherits the same design as Adata’s popular SE880 model, but in a smaller size: 53.0 x 27.5 x 11.89 mm (2.09 x 1.08 x 0.47 in).
One of the key features of the SC750 is its ability to instantly record and upload high-definition videos. The drive is designed for mobile use, allowing users to connect directly to their devices and transfer files without any setup. This is especially useful for professionals who need to manage large files efficiently.
Apple ProRes video recording
It supports recording Apple ProRes videos directly from iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models, bypassing phone storage and streamlining the video editing and transfer workflow. This ability to record directly to the external SSD reduces the time needed to transfer and edit large videos or documents, providing a practical alternative to expensive high-capacity phone models.
The SC750 is also compatible with various operating systems and platforms, including macOS and Windows 10/11.
Despite its undeniable advantages, the SC750’s design does raise one concern for me. The weight of the drive, while light at 11.15g / 0.39oz, can put extra strain on the USB connector, which can lead to wear and tear over time. This is an issue that users should be aware of, especially if the drive is frequently connected and disconnected.
The SC750 comes in Black Titanium and two capacities: 500GB and 1,000GB, though a 2,000GB version is expected to launch in Q3, so you may want to wait for that if you produce and store a lot of content. All versions come with a three-year limited global warranty.
