ProGrade Digital, known for its high-quality memory cards and storage solutions, has introduced the PG10 family of USB 4.0 SSDs.

“ProGrade Digital is embarking into a new category of professional SSDs (Solid State Drives) with a product offering that aligns with all of the core values of our brand,” says Wes Brewer, founder, and CEO of ProGrade Digital. “We have recognized for years that there is an opportunity to expand further into the professional workflow with a high capacity, high performance SSD but were waiting for just the right time to enter with a truly new and defining product that offers unique features and value. Our introduction of capacity points from 2TB to 8TB, and a USB 4.0/Thunderbolt 4 interface, allows us to provide industry-leading sustained performance and reliability for professionals that have traditionally had to settle for much slower and less reliable solutions. Our uniquely designed housing and internal heat-sink provide unmatched sustained write and read speeds ideal for long, multi-TB data file transfers.”

The ProGrade Digital PG10 is available in three capacities: 2TB, 4TB, and 8TB. While all three offer read and write rates of up to 2,500 MB/s, the two bigger sizes claim sustained write speeds of roughly 2,000 MB/s. The lowest 2TB option targets 1,500 MB/s sustained write speed. All three guarantee no cache depletion.

The PG10 has a USB4 interface that supports transfer rates of up to 40Gbps and is compatible with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, UBS 3.2, and USB 3.1 Type-C connections.

The PG10 features a patent-pending power detection circuit with a tiny LED that informs users whether the host computer (the drive is bus-powered) supports the recommended 15W of power. The drive will operate with less power, but sustained performance requires at least 15 watts.

The PG10’s smart engineering focuses on sustained writing performance, therefore the drive has a unique dual-heat-sink internal structure that promises best-in-class cooling performance with no thermal throttling.
