CES 2020: New SSD prototypes with 8 TB capacity

Jens · Jan 16, 2020

Western Digital (WD) used the CES 2020 in Las Vegas to give an outlook on upcoming storage media. It is still a prototype, but what WD has in the pipeline there sounds very promising.
SSD prototype and USB stick with marketability
WD gives a brief outlook on the future. The manufacturer presented a compact, mobile SSD that shows where to go. The SSD is just the size of a USB stick, but offers 8 TB of storage space. Thanks to USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, a blazing fast data transfer of up to 20 Gbit/s should be possible. When the prototype will be ready for the market remains to be seen. While the SSD only has prototype status, WD also presented a market-ready product in the form of the Duo Drive Luxe USB flash drive. This offers up to 1TB of storage space and has both a USB C and a USB A port.
