Versatility for All. Handle everything from daily backups to demanding 8K video projects with internal storage-class performance you can trust.

Powerfully Simple. Bus-powered via the included USB4 cable so you keep your workspace clutter-free.

Notes:

1. Over 6000MB/s sequential read/write peak performance speed based on testing a 2.0TB OWC Aura IV equipped Express 1M2 80G connected to a Mac Studio (2025) M3 Ultra running AJA System Test (4K-Full resolution, 64GB file size, 16bit RGB codec, single file test). Performance will vary depending on drive and application used.
2. PCs, Chromebooks, and Surface devices require a Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 5, or USB4 port to use Express 1M2 80G.
3. PCIe Gen 5 NVMe M.2 SSDs require careful selection and verification of manufacturer specifications due to the bus-power limits of host computers, docks, and hubs. We recommend choosing a PCIe Gen 5 SSD that consumes 11 watts or less on average during sustained read or write operations such as the Samsung 9100 Pro Series Gen 5 NVMe.
