The SE920 external SSD features a patented spring-loaded chassis and built-in fan to provide consumers with the ultimate in high-speed performance.

Push and extend the casing for proprietary patented active heat dissipation
USB4 supports transmission speeds up to 40Gbps but high speeds inevitably generate high temperatures which can became a problematic issue for users. The SE920 USB4 external SSD adopts a proprietary patented active dissipation design and a built-in micro fan. Push on the telescoping casing to activate the fan and extends the chassis to increase interior space for air circulation and quickly discharge heat. Compared with fanless products with the same specifications, this patented mechanism can significantly reduce temperatures by 10% and maintain stable data transmission. Press the casing again to retract the chassis. When retracted, the SE920 is lightweight and easy to carry. This unique and ingenious design makesthe SE920 USB4 external SSD an amazing addition to anyone’s everyday carry kit.
