Capture the highlights

Because there’s never a moment to lose.

  • BUILT FOR THE BIG STUFF

    Robust engineering and advanced thermal design provide ultra-reliable operation with no bottlenecks.

  • BUILT FOR ULTIMATE SPEED

    Consistently achieve the maximum possible 3GB/s write and 4.5GB/s read speeds. Built for the demands of data-heavy workflows, on set and beyond.

  • SECURITY IN MOTION

    The Drive needs the Reader and the Reader needs the Drive, and thanks to the proprietary internal connection if the Drive alone is intercepted then the data cannot be accessed.

Making your work flow faster

The unique design of the Transfer Drive Reader combines the speed of two Thunderbolt 3 connections to achieve high bandwidth and the fastest possible pipeline.

Consistently achieve 3GB/s read and write speeds when connected via two USB-C ports. Single link connection can be used when only one host port is available at a maximum of 2.7GB/s.


When you need to work fast, you need to work without limits. The advanced thermal design of Transfer Drive means that, unlike other storage devices, performance throttling does not occur.
