ADATA SE880 2TB Portable External SSD USB 3.2 Gen 2x2
The ADATA SE880 2TB Portable External SSD USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 is a compact, high-speed external drive built for professionals and creatives who need to work with large files away from a desk. It delivers read and write speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen2 x2 while fitting in a volume of just 28cc — smaller than an AirPods case — making it well-suited for video editing, photography, and other demanding mobile workflows.
Why this product
Up to 2,000 MB/s read and write
USB 3.2 Gen2 x2 delivers up to 20Gbps bandwidth, enabling sequential read and write speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s — roughly 20 times faster than a typical external hard drive.
Tiny 28cc body, just 31g
At 64.8 × 35 × 12.25 mm and 31 grams, it slips into a pocket or camera bag without adding noticeable weight or bulk.
Plug-and-play across major platforms
It works out of the box with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPad Pro, MacBook, PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 5, Xbox ONE, and Xbox Series X|S — no drivers needed.
Both USB-C and USB-A cables included
The box includes a USB Type-C to C cable and a USB Type-C to A cable, so it connects to modern and older hosts without an adapter.
Five-year limited warranty
ADATA backs this drive with a 5-year limited warranty, which is longer than the 3-year coverage common on many portable SSDs.

Best for
- Video editors and photographers on the move who need to read and write large files at up to 2,000 MB/s directly from a portable drive.
- Console gamers who want to expand storage on a PS5, PS4 Pro, Xbox ONE, or Xbox Series X|S with a pocket-sized drive.
- Travellers with minimal bag space — at 28cc and 31g it is among the smallest portable SSDs available.
- Multi-platform users who switch between Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iPad devices and need one drive that works across all of them.
- Users who want long warranty coverage — the 5-year limited warranty provides above-average protection for a portable drive.
Trade-offs
- Hosts without USB 3.2 Gen2 x2 or Thunderbolt — full 2,000 MB/s speeds require a USB 20Gbps port; older USB-A or USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports will cap throughput well below the rated maximum.
- Use in hot environments — the operating temperature ceiling is 50°C (122°F); sustained workloads in warm enclosures or direct sunlight may exceed this.
- Always-on or NAS workloads — this is a portable drive designed for on-the-go use, not continuous 24/7 operation in a server or desktop enclosure.
- iPad Pro users before 2018 or MacBook owners before 2019 — older Apple devices are not listed in the supported devices specification.
The SE880 is made for productivity on the go. It supports USB 3.2 Gen2 x2 for fast transmissions, is equipped with a Type-C port, and delivers performance of up to 2000MB/s. This is all packed into a compact form factor with a volume of just 28cc, which is smaller than an AirPods case. These attributes make it perfect for productivity and creativity on the go.
Speed Ahead with USB 3.2 Gen2 x2
The SE880 supports USB 3.2 Gen2 x2, capable of reaching transmission speeds of 20Gb/s. This is twice as fast as USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 and 4 times faster than USB 3.2 Gen 1x1.
Fast Speeds of up to 2000 MB/s
The SE880 is capable of reaching read/write speeds of up to 2000MB/s, which is roughly 20 times faster than ordinary external hard drives, which only reach about 100MB/s. This allows you to directly perform intensive task right on the SE880, whether is A/V editing or other applications.
Hassle-Free Compatibility
Plug-and-play across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Mac, iPhone, and mobile devices, it combines ultra-compact portability with flagship-level performance.
