Western Digital Unveils Its Fastest Ever External SSDs for Consumers

If you are out in the market for super-fast storage, your options are now much better than before.

Western Digital has unveiled three new external SSD drives in its G-DRIVE and G-SPEED line of products, with varying amounts of capacity. However, it is clear that the market for these drives includes either the enterprise sector or professionals with faster data-processing needs.

Enthusiast/ High-End Use

The drives all support Thunderbolt 3 and are optimized to support multiple streams of 8K video at full frame rates. They have transfer rates of up to 2800MB/s, meaning transferring capability of a terabyte of data in seven minutes (given you have the ability to back that up with supporting hardware) as well as a limited warranty of 5 years.
