  • Available in massive 8TB and 16TB capacities, T-CREATE EXPERT P32 is built for creators

  • USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C, 1800MB/s speeds, wide compatibility

  • Portable unibody design, patented cooling, launching Q4 2024

From ultra-high-resolution videos to vast photo libraries and complex project files, the sheer volume of data generated by content creators can quickly overwhelm small drives.

For professionals, the need for high-capacity, fast and reliable storage can be vital – and to meet this need, T-CREATE, the creator-focused brand of memory supplier Team Group, has announced the external SSD of EXPERT P32 office.

Available in 8TB and 16TB sizes, the 16TB model includes two 8TB SSDs rather than a single large drive, although the total capacity remains the largest available for an external SSD.

Transfer speeds of up to 1800 MB/s

If you’re wondering how much data a drive of this size can hold, T-CREATE says the 16TB storage is enough for up to 672 minutes (nearly 10.5 hours) of 4K 120fps N-RAW video uncompressed, or 335,544 photos in RAW format at 50 MB each.

Constructed from aluminum alloy using 4-axis CNC cutting, the device features a durable unibody design. Functional rather than sophisticated in design, it promises transfer speeds of up to 1,800 MB/s (or up to 1,700 MB/s for the 8TB model).

It uses a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C interface, ensuring compatibility with USB Type-C and Thunderbolt devices. A patented graphene heat dissipation pad is included to maintain cooling performance during heavy use. The SSD operates at temperatures between 5°C and 55°C and supports storage temperatures ranging from -20°C to 50°C.

Weighing 261g, the EXPERT P32 measures 110 x 65 x 26mm, so it’s easily portable. The package includes a USB Type-C to Type-C cable, DC power cable and international plug adapters for global use. It is formatted with exFAT for compatibility with Windows, macOS and Linux. The SSD comes with a three-year warranty, providing reliable support for creators. It is expected to debut globally in the fourth quarter of 2024, although pricing details have not yet been announced.
