Adata SE800 1TB Portable Rugged USB-C External SSD – Blue, 2.5" Compact Power

Meet the Adata SE800, a portable rugged solid-state drive built for professionals, creatives, students, and travelers who demand blistering speeds, reliability, and convenience in a compact package. With a full 1 TB of fast storage, a durable blue aluminum chassis, and USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity, the SE800 delivers impressive data transfers, robust durability, and plug-and-play simplicity for a wide range of on-the-go workloads. Whether you’re backing up massive video projects, editing 4K footage in the field, or transporting sensitive files between devices, this 2.5" external SSD keeps your data secure and accessible where you need it most.

• Ultra-fast performance with USB 3.2 Gen 2: The SE800 is engineered for rapid data transfers, delivering up to about 1000 MB/s read speeds and strong write performance to help you move large files in seconds rather than minutes. This speed translates into smoother 4K video editing, faster asset transfers, and quicker backups, so you spend more time creating and less time waiting. Real-world results will vary by host device, cable quality, and file type, but the SE800 consistently pushes ahead of traditional external hard drives.
• Rugged, compact design you can rely on: Housed in a hairline-brushed blue metal chassis, the SE800 blends rugged durability with a slim, pocket-friendly footprint. The metal construction aids heat dissipation during sustained transfers, helping maintain steady performance under demanding workloads. Its lightweight build fits easily into bags, backpacks, or laptop sleeves, making it an excellent companion for field work, travel, and daily use alike.
• Generous 1 TB capacity for expansive workflows: With a full terabyte of storage, you can store large media libraries, design assets, project files, backups, and software installers without constantly juggling drives. The sizable capacity reduces fragmentation of your storage workflow and gives you room to grow as your projects evolve, all while keeping your important data organized and portable.
• Cross-platform compatibility and plug-and-play ease: The SE800 works with Windows, macOS, and select Android devices through USB-C, enabling a seamless, cross-OS workflow. No complex drivers are required; simply connect to a USB-C port, let the OS recognize the drive, and start transferring. The included cable and streamlined setup mean you can integrate the SE800 into mixed-OS environments with minimal friction.
• Included high-quality USB-C cable for immediate use: The ASE800-1TU32G2-CBL variant ships with a USB-C to USB-C cable, so you can connect to your laptop, desktop, or compatible mobile device right away. The reliable cable is designed to preserve the drive’s high-speed performance and durability, helping you avoid compatibility hassles and ensuring smooth, consistent data transfers from the moment you unbox the drive.

How to install Adata SE800

• Unpack and connect: Plug the SE800 into a USB-C port on your computer or compatible device using the included USB-C cable. For devices with only USB-A ports, you can use a suitable USB-C adapter or dongle, but performance will reflect the interface in use.
• Power and recognition: The drive is bus-powered via USB, so no separate power supply is needed. Your host system should recognize the SE800 automatically and mount it as an external storage volume.
• Format for best cross‑platform use: If you plan to use the drive across different operating systems, format it in exFAT to support large files and broad compatibility. On Windows, open Disk Management to format; on macOS, use Disk Utility. If you will stay within a single OS, you can format accordingly for optimized performance and file size limits.
• Organize your data: Create folders for projects, media, backups, and software installers. The SE800’s fast speeds make large transfers quick, so structuring data helps you locate assets fast and reduces search time during busy editing sessions or presentations.
• Eject properly before unplugging: To prevent data corruption, always eject or safely remove the drive from your OS before unplugging the USB cable. This ensures all write operations complete and protects your files.
• Store wisely: When not in use, keep the SE800 in a protective bag or case to shield it from scratches, dust, or accidental impacts. The blue aluminum shell is designed to withstand daily bumps while maintaining a sleek, professional look.
