Despite its small size, it offers both USB-A and USB-C ports, which are accessible via a practical sliding mechanism.
Key features of the Adata SC730:
- Dual interface: Support for USB-A and USB-C without the need for additional adapters.
- High transfer speed: Read and write at up to 600 MB/s.

Dual interface for maximum flexibility
The SC730 is characterized by its dual interface function, which offers both USB-A and USB-C connections. The desired connection can be selected using a slider, eliminating the need for additional adapters. This flexibility makes it possible to connect the SSD directly to various devices such as notebooks, smartphones or tablets.
High transfer speeds
Thanks to the support of USB 3.2 Gen2, the SC730 achieves read and write speeds of up to 600 MB/s. This makes it ideal for the fast transfer of large files such as high-resolution videos or extensive photo libraries. For optimum performance, Adata recommends using USB 3.2 Gen2 in combination with the UASP protocol.
Compact and lightweight design
With its small dimensions and a weight of only 7.8 grams, the SC730 is extremely portable and fits easily into any pocket. Despite its compactness, it offers the performance of a fully-fledged external SSD and is therefore ideal for mobile use.
Environmentally friendly materials
Adata attaches great importance to sustainability with the SC730: The housing is made from 50% recycled materials, which reduces CO₂ emissions during production by 39%. This environmentally conscious design underlines the company’s commitment to ecological responsibility.
Compatibility and power supply
The SC730 is compatible with devices running Android, Linux, macOS or Windows. However, reformatting is required when used with macOS. Generally, power supply via the USB port is sufficient; however, a Y-adapter may be necessary for older USB 2.0 ports, as the current requirement during operation is 5 volts and 900 mA.
Prices and availability
The Adata SC730 is available in 512 GB and 1 TB capacities. Prices are currently around 56 euros for the 512 GB version and 96 euros for the 1 TB version.
