iodyne has announced the Pro Mini SSD, a bus-powered portable storage solution designed for professionals. The Pro Mini features a durable machined aluminum chassis with Frore AirJet membrane vibration cooling to prevent thermal throttling and ensure the SSD delivers consistent performance even under heavy data loads.
Iodyne claims the device achieves sustained throughput of over 3GB/s, making it ideal for tasks such as video editing, media downloading, and data transfer. The Pro Mini provides robust security via XTS-AES-256 encryption and RAID-6 data protection, safeguarding data even in the event of hardware failure. Passcodes 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 includes a customizable digital label that displays project names or other relevant information on its 2.1-inch e-ink screen. The multi-container feature 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 both USB 4 and Thunderbolt (40Gbps) ports so you can connect a wide variety of devices including phones, tablets, cameras and computers. Additionally, the Find My tracking feature 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 of iodyne, said: “The Pro Mini is packed with powerful performance and groundbreaking engineering. Every feature was carefully designed with the specific needs of production professionals in mind – groundbreaking advancements made possible by our collaboration with Frore Systems to bring active solid-state cooling to portable SSDs.”
Pro Mini comes in 4TB and 8TB capacities, ideal for those who need to store large amounts of data, such as 4K video. It is available for pre-order now and is expected to ship in Q1 2025.
