iodyne Pro Mini Thunderbolt 4 External SSD

The iodyne Pro Mini Thunderbolt 4 External SSD runs at a mind-boggling 40 Gb/s throughput capable of dual functionality as both 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 protocols - while also being fully backward compatible with any device that supports 10 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2, as well as 5 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 1 and 480 Mb/s USB 2.0 - the Pro Mini offers an unprecedented convergence of speed and versatility. Furthermore, even when the Pro Mini is connected via a 40 Gb/s host interface to your Windows PC or sustained peak data read/write rates of 3 GB/s (or 3000 MB/s) simultaneously throughout the device, even when both its internal RAID 6 and XTS AES-256 hardware encryption are switched on. Also, keeping the heat away from the Pro Mini is a pair of dual AirJet modules, while an anodized alumina chassis offers near-scratch-proof resistance Anyone who buys and uses the Pro Mini will also experience a personalized and customized digital label (removing the need to use stickers, tape, or pens) and accompanying NFC transponder, along with the iodyne app and ability to have device passkeys, and the option to track the device via the Apple Find My and Google Nearby Connect platform with the iodyne Pro Mini Thunderbolt 4 External SSD.

Immense Capacity

With 4TB and 8TB usable capacity options, the iodyne Pro Mini provides as much storage capacity as the largest internal laptop SSDs, 4x the capacity of a high-end camera SSD cartridge, and 8x the capacity of the largest pro phone SSD. That's enough space to store more than 36 hours of 4K footage in your pocket.

Solid-State Cooling

With a solid-state cooling system powered by dual AirJet modules, the Pro Mini breaks through the thermal throttling limit of previous portable SSD designs. Silent, dynamic, self-cleaning, and protected from particles as small as 0.3μm, the unique cooling system enables the Pro Mini to deliver enhanced sustained performance and next-generation smarts.

Sustained Performance

Through its unique solid-state cooling design, Pro Mini delivers 2-10× the sustained performance of typical pro SSDs when running the most demanding workflows. And that's with encryption and internal RAID protection turned on, all the time. iodyne optimized the Pro Mini for the sequential sustained data movement found in pro workflows, such as ingesting raw camera footage, or offloading media assets to iodyne Pro Data, or cloud or network storage. Get your transfers done faster, get home sooner, and get more sleep.

Digital Label

The Pro Mini features a unique digital label that allows you to personalize and customize a label for your drive without messy stickers, masking tape, and pens. The digital label's 2.1" E-paper display retains your customized label image whether the drive is on or off, even if left disconnected for years on a shelf. Your label can include project names, camera numbers, contact information, logos, QR codes, bar codes, and more.

Universal Connectivity

The Pro Mini's bus-powered USB-C port allows you to connect to almost anything, including phones, tablets, cameras, and computers. When you plug in, the Pro Mini automatically detects the type of connection you're using and its maximum speed, and adjusts accordingly. The Pro Mini will operate as a USB 2.x device, USB 3.x device, USB4 device, or Thunderbolt device, at speeds up to 40 Gb/s, based on what type of connection you provide.

Machined Aluminum Chassis

Unlike the cheap plastic and rubber used for typical SSD enclosures, the Pro Mini features a triple-anodized machined aluminum chassis with an elegant industrial design. The scratch-resistant aluminum is complemented by phone-quality hardened glass protecting the digital label. The Pro Mini is designed to be used indoors, outdoors, on-set, with the durability that Pros demand for their portable devices.

Multiple Containers

iodyne has brought its unique Containers technology from Pro Data to Pro Mini, making this available in a portable drive for the first time. To enable more advanced multi-platform workflows, you can optionally divide the Pro Mini's physical storage capacity into distinct logical containers, each formatted with a different file system type.

Find My Tracking

Inside of the Pro Mini is a fully-integrated and secure Bluetooth signaling beacon that can be linked with Apple and Google device location tracking networks. You can use Find My to locate a particular drive in your inventory by flashing an LED or playing a sound. And if the Pro Mini is lost, or in transit with your valuable project data, you can find it and track it using the native tracking apps on Apple or Google platforms. Pro Mini's tracking capability is powered by an internal rechargeable battery, that automatically and intelligently recharges when needed.

Fleet Management

With iodyne Cloud's Fleet Management service, you can manage and provision groups of Pro Mini devices for your projects. Fleet Management manages digital label and Container settings, lists of authorized users, and other device settings so you can apply them to a set of Pro Mini drives with a single click. Fleet Management also helps you manage your entire drive inventory, including Pro Mini, Pro Data, and even devices from other vendors that you already own. Add a Fleet Management Enterprise subscription to integrate with a single sign-on service like Okta, and the ability to remotely manage your Pro Mini in the field.

Device Passkeys

In place of insecure passwords, PIN codes, and keypads, the Pro Mini provides the industry's first implementation of secure passkeys for a portable storage drive. Just like a modern website, the Pro Mini allows multiple authorized users to establish personal and secure Passkeys that are stored in their computer or phone's secure enclave. Your passkey is used to securely unlock the Pro Mini when it connects to your computer. You can also tap your phone on the Pro Mini's NFC transponder to unlock it, such as when you are temporarily granting access to another computer or camera.

Data Durability and Security

Every byte of data passing into the Pro Mini is secured with enterprise-grade XTS-AES-256 encryption and protected with hardware-accelerated RAID 6 data protection, allowing the Pro Mini to safeguard your data, even if an entire internal NAND flash chip fails. Encryption keys are stored in a hardware secure enclave, and locked by passkeys, so that a lost or stolen device cannot reveal your private data, even if the drive is disassembled or plugged into a hacker's computer.

Workflow Metadata

In addition to storing your secured and encrypted workflow data on the drive and your customized digital label, the Pro Mini can store customized workflow metadata that can be retrieved by iodyne's iOS app through the NFC transponder, or viewed on a connected computer. Use Workflow Metadata to record times, dates, project codes, shipping locations, billing codes, and more. You can even connect Workflow Metadata with your own scripts and use it to drive automation in other tools.

iodyne App

Pair Fleet Management with iodyne's iOS "On Set" app to unlock even more Pro Mini functionality. View custom Workflow Metadata stored in your drive and add busy drives to a real-time watchlist that relays live workflow progress from your drive to your phone. Once your workflow is running, you can manage other tasks on-set while you receive real time notifications.
