Project Brief

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

The product adopts the dual USB design, which includes a Type-A port and a Type-C one, 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. At the same time, the Type-C port supports high transmission speed, which further enhances the performance of the product.

Project Innovation/Need

- 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.

- 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 product offers a storage capacity of 4TB, providing enough storage space for professional applications like video editing and 3D modeling.

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

- This USB flash drive also supports the 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.

- The hollowed-out design significantly enhances heat dissipation.

Design Challenge

The biggest challenge lies in how 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, 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 USB 3.2 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. Additionally, 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 (including a Type-A port and a Type-C one) 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 an advanced garbage collection mechanism, which improves the product’s durability and thus further reduces electric waste generation.
