Verbatim Pocket SSD External hard drive SSD 1 TB

Verbatim 1TB Pocket SSD — Pocket-Sized Speed for Creators on the Move

The Verbatim 1TB Pocket SSD is a USB-C external solid-state drive designed for ultimate portability, weighing just 58 grams and measuring only 96.1 mm long — small enough to slip into a back pocket. Built around a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, the drive delivers data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps, with read and write performance rated at up to 1000 MB/s. This Pocket SSD is the right choice for musicians, producers, photographers, and video editors who need fast, reliable storage they can carry anywhere.

What Makes This Pocket SSD Stand Out

Unlike many portable drives that rely on standard plastic shells, the Verbatim Pocket SSD uses a fireproof polycarbonate enclosure — a material choice that adds an extra layer of physical protection for files in transit. The integrated keyring loop and dedicated cable holder keep the included USB-C to USB-C cable neatly attached and tangle-free, a thoughtful detail for anyone who travels with gear. Inside, an M.2 SSD form factor with flash memory and no moving parts keeps the drive silent, power-efficient, and resistant to the bumps of daily transport.

Speed and Interface — Built for Large File Transfers

High-resolution video editing, multi-track audio sessions, and large sample libraries demand fast storage, and the USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface is what unlocks that throughput. Whether the workflow involves moving multi-gigabyte project folders or streaming libraries directly from the drive, the connection standard sets the ceiling for real-world performance.

• Interface: USB 3.2 Gen 2 (USB-C) — up to 10 Gbps theoretical bandwidth for fast transfers.
• Read Speed: up to 1000 MB/s — quick access to stored sessions and media.
• Write Speed: up to 1000 MB/s — fast archiving of new recordings and project backups.

Portability and Build — Travel-Ready Hardware

Designed for creators who work between studios, stages, and locations, the enclosure balances a compact footprint with rugged construction. The fireproof polycarbonate shell and flash-based storage with no moving parts make the drive a dependable companion for daily commutes and tour life.

• Weight: 58 g (approx) — lighter than most smartphones, easy to clip to a bag.
• Dimensions: 96.1 mm × 45.1 mm × 10 mm — slips into a back pocket or laptop sleeve.
• Enclosure Material: Fireproof Polycarbonate — adds physical protection beyond standard plastic shells.
• SSD Form Factor: M.2 — modern internal drive standard for fast, compact flash storage.

Compatibility and Backup — Ready for PC and Mac Workflows

Cross-platform compatibility and bundled backup software make this drive practical for both studio and on-location use. The included cable and software remove the usual setup friction, so the drive is ready to work straight out of the box.

• System Support: Windows 11, 10, 8 and Mac OS X 10.2 or higher — works across the main creative platforms.
• Included Software: Nero Backup (Windows only) — schedule automatic backups of files, folders, and drives.
• In the Box: USB-C to USB-C cable, cloth bag, Nero Backup software, Quick Start Guide — everything needed to start transferring immediately.

Who the Verbatim 1TB Pocket SSD Is For

Built for travelling musicians, producers, and content creators who need fast, dependable storage that fits in a pocket, this drive suits anyone moving large session files, sample libraries, or high-resolution video between locations. The Verbatim 1TB Pocket SSD is the right choice for users who want USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds without paying flagship-tier prices, and who value a rugged, fireproof polycarbonate shell for everyday carry. It also works well as a scheduled backup target thanks to the bundled Nero Backup software for Windows machines.
