Harness 6K Video and Beyond
Rugged SSD Pro fuses the blazing-fast Seagate FireCuda NVMe SSD with a Thunderbolt 3 interface, unleashing speeds 5× faster than traditional SATA SSDs so that you can play back and render the most demanding high bit rate RAW content — like 6K, 8K, and super slo-mo source files.

Plug in a Rugged SSD and know that it won’t get bogged down trying to keep up with your creative flow. Plus, when compared with high-end media cards, a Rugged SSD is a far more affordable option.
