Expand the capacity of your smartphone or game console! A portable external SSD with military-grade shock resistance
A portable SSD that can expand the storage of your computer, smartphone, or game console is a useful gadget for both hobbies and business. If you want to carry it without the fear of damage, it's best to have a unit equipped with IP55 dust and water resistance and military-grade shock resistance.
Equipped with a strap hole that can accommodate a larger carabiner
the new external portable SSD released by Elecom is exceptionally high specification. The new "ESD-EHB" series features toughness with IP55 compliant waterproof and dustproof performance, as well as MIL-compliant high durability. It is resilient against drops and water leakage, securely protecting important data.

It has been confirmed to work not only with computers and smartphones but also with the PlayStation 5. By saving game data to the external SSD, the boot time for games and the loading time for save data are reduced, allowing for a more comfortable gaming experience.

Achieving high-speed data transfer of up to approximately 1700MB/s for both reading and writing. It’s astonishing that this is about 4.3 times faster than the company’s previous model that supports USB 5Gbps. Despite this performance, the main unit is compact enough to fit in a pocket or pouch. Additionally, with a large strap hole, it’s convenient as you can attach a carabiner for immediate use, such as photography.

It supports USB3.2 Gen2×2 connection, combining both robustness and high speed. The included cable comes in two types, USB Type-C and Type-A, which is a nice touch for adapting to the port being used. Available capacities are 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB.

If you want to enhance security for business purposes, it is recommended to download the security software "PASS" with automatic password authentication feature for Mac and Windows from Elecom's official site. Once you set a password on the specified computers (up to 3), you can protect your data without the hassle of entering the password for the second time. This helps prevent data leakage in case of theft or loss.
