Native controller or bridge chip ?

Also Sabby, do we REALLY need a separate pic to illustrate the 2 cables that are included ?

They are described in the text of the PR, and it's not like there's that many people (11.273?) on the planet that don't know what they are, just sayin :D

Most likely a separate SSD as they have offered enclousures similar to their external SSDs in past.

Edit: Checked product page and it lists UFD controller so fully integrated drive rather than SSD in enclosure.
  • The native UFD controller additionally assures minimal compatibility issues.

Only up to 60% of bandwidth of USB 3.2 x2...Must be use cheapest components in the world. My opinion is too large premium markup in prices.

I guess if it had a decent warranty in TBW and years, but still 4 TB variant at $449.99. Hard pass.
