Project Brief

As the digital content industry booms, professionals are facing the challenge of frequently processing and transmitting large amounts of data. In response, this product marries lightweight traditional USB flash drives with solid state drives boasting high transmission speed, offering users an efficient and convenient solution.

The product adopts the dual USB design (Type-A + Type-C), ensuring high compatibility and avoiding purchasing additional adapters to enhance the convenience of use. By virtue of its read/write speed of up to 2000MB/s and multi-channel technology, this USB flash drive can complete multiple tasks or transmit large files in a very short time, facilitating higher working efficiency and better user experience. Additionally, the Type-C port supports high transmission speed, which further improves the performance of the product.

Project Innovation/Need

- The high-performance SM2320 master chip is equipped with wear leveling technology, error correcting code and advanced garbage collection mechanism to achieve superior data stability and security.

- The product offers a storage capacity of 4TB, applicable to video editing, 3D modeling professional software and other professional software needing large storage space.

- Benefiting from the dual USB design (Type-A + Type-C), the USB flash drive is applicable to various devices, without the need for adapters, contributing to a more flexible and convenient experience.

- This USB flash drive also supports Windows To Go feature, which enables users to boot a full version of Windows on host computers so that they can seamlessly deploy and use personal systems across different devices.

- Its read/write speed of up to 2000 MB/s and multi-channel technology allow for large file transmission and multi-task processing in a short time.

- The hollowed-out design significantly enhances heat dissipation.

Design Challenge

The biggest challenge is to improve storage capacity & transmission speed under the premise of small size and portability.

Thanks to multi-layer flash memory encapsulation and FW software development, the product boasts a large storage capacity of 4TB while ensuring a small size, convenient for users to store large files without the need for additional mobile storage devices, significantly enhancing their working efficiency. Meanwhile, the Type-C port utilizes USB3.2 Gen2×2, which allows for 20 Gbps data transmission, whereby the transmission of a 10 GB video file can be completed in only 5 s, realizing higher data processing efficiency. In addition, the USB flash drive without a cover can protrude or retract its ports through a sliding mechanism, minimizing the size and improving the portability.

Sustainability

- The dual USB design (Type-A + Type-C) eliminates the need for additional adapters, reducing the generation of electronic waste and promoting sustainable development.

- The SM2320 master chip integrates wear leveling technology, error correcting code and advanced garbage collection mechanism, which improves the product’s durability and thus further reduces electric waste generation.
