Compact power with high speed
The TEAMGROUP PD40 Mini External SSD impresses with its impressive performance in a tiny format. With the USB4 Type-C interface, it delivers read rates of up to 4,000 MB/s and write rates of up to 3,500 MB/s, depending on the cable and device. Large files such as high-resolution videos or extensive work data are transferred to the SSD in seconds – an advantage for videographers, photographers or anyone who needs to work quickly on the move. Available in 1 TB, 2 TB and 4 TB capacities, it holds enough storage for travel or backups without unnecessary ballast.
The design in matt black and deep red finish looks elegant and functional. The rubberized, ribbed surface ensures a secure grip and dirt repellency, while the integrated lanyard hole makes it easy to attach to rucksacks or keys. With dimensions of 75 x 34 x 15.2 mm and a weight of just 22 grams, the PD40 Mini fits easily into any pocket and remains inconspicuous. The supplied silicone cover for the Type-C port provides additional protection against dust and splash water.
Robustness and broad compatibility
Robustness is paramount: The PD40 Mini meets the IP54 standard for dust and water protection, making it suitable for everyday use – whether in the office, on construction sites or during outdoor activities. Tested to IEC 60529, it withstands splashing water and offers limited dust protection when not in use. A 5-year warranty underlines its reliability and gives users long-term security.
Compatibility extends to Windows XP or later, Mac OS 10.6 or later and Linux 2.6 or later – plug-and-play without drivers. Whether using USB4 cables for a full 40 Gbps or USB 3.2 for 10 Gbps, the SSD adapts. The actual speeds depend on the hardware and cable, but even with older standards it remains performant. Accessories such as the Type-C to Type-C cable round off the package, making it easy to get started.
Another plus point is the ease of use: no DRAM cache required as the SSD is optimized for direct use. For creatives or IT professionals, this means less waiting time and more productivity, for example when editing 4K footage directly from the SSD.
Conclusion
The TEAMGROUP PD40 Mini External SSD combines breathtaking speed, an extremely compact format and solid protection features in an attractive package. It is ideal for anyone looking for portable storage solutions with power. Details on pricing and availability can be found on the official TEAMGROUP website; the SSDs in 1 TB, 2 TB and 4 TB have recently been launched.
