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

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.

Launch your rocket up your clacker at those prices.
