2TB of seriously fast storage that weighs less than 40 grams.
The Patriot Transporter Lite PS1820 is a compact 2TB portable SSD designed for anyone who needs lots of storage without carrying around a traditional external hard drive. With USB-C and USB 3.2 Gen 2, it delivers read and write speeds of up to 1,000MB/s — fast enough for large video files, photo libraries, games and everyday backups.
Small Drive. Big Capacity.
Despite holding 2TB, the Transporter Lite measures only around 107 × 32.5 × 9mm and weighs just 39.6g. The aluminium enclosure helps dissipate heat while also providing protection against vibration.
There's no separate power adapter or complicated setup either — it's USB powered and plug-and-play, so you can simply connect it to your laptop or computer and start transferring files.
