Iodyne, a company dedicated to providing Pro users with the best technology, announced its Pro Mini external solid-state drive sporting unique features like the dual AirJet cooling system. This technology allows the drive to maintain sustained performance without the thermal throttling that plagues other portable SSDs. The Pro Mini can deliver speeds of 3 GB/s, up to two times the sustained throughput of standard professional SSDs, even with active encryption and internal RAID protection.
The drive features a triple-anodized machined aluminum chassis and hardened glass protection with a customizable 2.1" E-paper display. Offered with 4 TB or 8 TB capacities, the iodyne Pro Mini offers versatile connectivity, including a bus-powered USB-C port that automatically detects the connection type and adjusts its speed accordingly, supporting up to 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt connections. Security is another point where this product stands out with the use of Passkeys instead of passwords, along with enterprise-grade encryption and hardware-accelerated RAID-6 data protection. The Pro Mini also incorporates an integrated Bluetooth beacon for location tracking.
Pro Mini main features:
- 4 TB, 8 TB Portable Bus-Powered SSD
- Solid-State Cooling
- Sustained 3+ GB/s Performance
- Customizable Digital Label
- Multiple Containers
- Universal USB 4 / Thunderbolt
- Machined Aluminum Chassis
- Find My Tracking
- Fleet Management
- Device Passkeys
- NFC Tap to Unlock
- XTS-AES-256 Encryption
- RAID-6 Data Protection
- Workflow Metadata
- iodyne App
Pro Mini will be available in Q1 2025, however, it can be preordered assuming that the somehow expensive price tag isn't a stopper, $1500 for the 4 TB version and $2200 for the 8 TB model.

Why can't we get sustained 3 GB/s internal 8 TB SSD?
"$2200 for the 8 TB model."
Nevermind.
Raid-6 in the palm of your hand. That's insane. Four actively cooled 4TB SSDs in a single enclosure. No wonder it's $2200.

Because...
1. You can't have "dual air jet cooling" in your PC (whatever the heck it means), and
2. No external drive will ever reach 3 GB/s because of interface limitations, so Iodyne can write whatever transfer speed they come up with on the box.

TB4 /USB4 SSDs reach 3.2-3.8GB/s. Check at least ADATA SE920 results. It actually does 3.2GB/s on TB4 and 3.8GB/s on USB4.

Price aside its quite an interesting product and wont be surprised to see it being picked up by photographers and videographers for field backups.

That is the main target, a $2K in a field where a tripod could cost more than that...
Nomad76That is the main target, a $2K in a field where a tripod could cost more than that...
I sincerely doubt it. It cannot be used for backup by itself, it needs a computer for transfer, and for backup alone the speed, and for most even the capacity, is overkill. And photographers, videographers aren't exactly bathing in cash, there are more important pieces of equipment to purchase.
This is purely "Lifestyle" product for "content creators" with more cash than sense.

If target audience is indeed photographers and videographers then choice of interface is quite appropriate as most carry Macbooks in field and even cost is quite reasonable for peace of mind from backups at the end of the day.

Do you think the manufacturer cares? If it is for people with more cash than sense then it should sell better than if it is for people with common sense. In fact I would argue most electronics today are marketed specifically to people with more cash than sense. It is a good business model even when people love getting into debt.
