Elgato Now Shipping Thunderbolt SSD External Drives

Elgato has long been a player in advanced TV and video solutions for the Mac, as well as innovative storage technology. The vast majority of FireWire drives contained Elgato software, and even early flash-based products were powered by Elgato.

Over a decade later, with the new Thunderbolt ultra-high-speed interface now on most Mac models, and more PCs, Elgato decided to go back to their roots and create what they’ve always been longing for: a truly portable, ultra-fast external drive.

Lightning-fast

The Elgato Thunderbolt SSD is claimed to be the fastest single-drive storage solution for your Mac. Using a Solid State Drive (SSD), it dramatically outperforms state-of-the-art portable FireWire or USB drives.

Truly Portable

While youre on the go, less is more. Thats why the Elgato Thunderbolt SSD is engineered to draw power directly through the Thunderbolt port, without needing a separate power supply. Its bus-powered operation ensures that your data is always there with you, even when you’re not near a power source.

A Safe Bet

Due to the lack of moving, mechanical parts, as portable devices Solid State Drives are far less prone to accidental damage than traditional hard drives. Even better, the Elgato Thunderbolt SSD uses a solid metal enclosure, guaranteeing not only good looks, but also added protection for your valuable data.

Quieter Than A Whisper

The Elgato Thunderbolt SSD is designed to work without the need for a noisy fan. With its advanced enclosure and the inaudible Solid State Drive, that means youll never hear a sound, despite its constantly screaming performance.

The Elgato Portable High-Speed Drive starts shipping today (March 7), and is available in two capacities:

120 GB $429.95
